With the Washington state caucus only one day away, three fellow seniors and myself, all undecided, set out early on the morning of Feb. 8 to volunteer and hear Sen. Hillary Clinton speak about healthcare at the University of Puget Sound. Within moments of entering the field house, we were gobbled up for volunteer tasks: checking-in and directing media, monitoring

No pun intended.” But what is born from the shelves, books and transcripts of the library can really take on a life of its own in the field. Ryan highlights his adventures throughout the years in his most recent book “Beneath the Sands of Egypt – Adventures of an Unconventional Archeologists.” In much of the book, he talks about his work in Egypt, where his team discovered the mummy of the famous female

various members of the cadre, or ROTC instructors, with different members being assigned different years. Twice a semester, and once during J-term, cadets go to Joint Base Lewis-McCord to exercise those class skills in the field, such as orienteering.
