Student Life decided against the use of breathalyzers this year for homecoming after they thought of several options to prevent students from drinking over the limit.

DES MOINES- I really had a lot to do Tuesday. I still have at least four loads of laundry to do. But somehow I got convinced into spending the day with Editor-in-Chief Molly Hottle. So after a wonderful home cooked meal, Miss Hottle and I ventured out into the city to take photos of the traffic streaking by on Interstate 235.
