Finding us: If you are driving us park in Lot D (free after 5 and on Sundays).  Directly across Elm Street from the lot is the Student Rec Center.  From the entrance keep heading down the hallway and look to your left.  Near the end of the hallway is an alcove with the entrance to McNeil Room and a couple of bathrooms.  If you hit the stairs to the first floor you have gone too far.  To get to Schramm, go down the stairs to the first floor and walk straight, past the bathrooms, until you get to a bar like area.  Follow the bar around to the double doors that give access to Schramm.

Events, Changes, and Cancellations:  

* Ballrom D not available - Schramm or outside in Kafadar Commons if weather is good on 1/20, 1/27(location TBD), 3/24,  and 3/31.
