FALCON DAILY Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2014 "The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder." --Ralph W. Sockman Students line up for jazz band auditions [cid:08FCB16D-B32A-4713-A5EF-881D00B7D1CF] Students wait in the hallway in KFA to audition for openings in the UWRF jazz band.

Clarification of yesterday's coffee blurb Purchase a coffee club membership at Peregrine Perk in the UC ($199) and receive a reusable mug and free unlimited drip coffee for the academic year. Most customers spend, at the very least, $1.69 plus tax on a coffee every day and then throw away the paper cup, lid and clutch. This amounts to $338 and 200 cups, lids and clutches over the course of 200 operating days. This deal saves you more than $138 and saves the environment. Every little bit counts. We hope to cut paper and plastic usage at UWRF while saving you money.
