1 QUESTION: Are you satisfied with the bus timings and
SSIT routes? Do you think they should run later on Fridays?
Sherrita Lee, Junior
Public Safety should revise the bus
timings. I wonder why the buses
stop running so early on Friday. It is
not that there are no classes after
2:30 on Friday. Even if there are few
students riding, we still need to go
back to our rooms.

Theory, which makes
UWG the home base for
the journal.
The conference
includes four talks and
approximately 75 other
guest speakers. The event
is open to students as well
as mathematicians.
According to
Landman, combinatorial
number theory is one of the
most accessible branches
of mathematics, making
it possible for even high
school students to easily
understand many of the
research problems.
In fact, some of the
presentations will highlight
student research.
This is the second
Integers Conference to take
place at UWG.
