RECYCLING CARTS, the big 68-gallon ones, will be taken off campus for a cleaning next Tuesday, says Patti Cook, the waste management coordinator.

That's a change, since the usual pickup day is Wednesday. LIBRARY CLOSES: The University Map and Design Library will be closed from this Saturday, August 27, through Monday, September 5.
