When IU students enter a typical dining hall on campus, they commonly reach for a tray, grab some items, check out and enjoy their meals. However, the Edmondson Traditional Dining Room at the Collins Living-Learning Center might make the decision to get rid of trays in order to help the environment and cut costs. “We’ve been looking at Collins for a test site to be greener,” said Gina Brooks-Lay, Collins dining manager.

Sure, this weekend marked the opening game for the NFL, but it was NASCAR that was in the forefront of my mind on Sunday. With the Chase for the Sprint Cup set to begin next weekend in New Hampshire, there is one driver who sticks out in my mind as the favorite to win the Cup, and you won’t find his name on a beer can.
