Vet Med building finished
After 20 years of collecting dust, two floors in the Veterinary Medicine Basic Sciences Building (VMBSB) are finally completed.

Except for their costumes, however, these aren’t the caricatured, cackling, broom-riding witches of horror movies. In fact, these witches hold day jobs as business people, booksellers, jewelry designers and travel agents. And it’s not a cauldron they’re standing over: It’s a grill filled with hot dogs for an old-fashioned autumn barbecue.
