The Daily Bruin

This is a reminder that the Bruin Bookstore and its online store will be closed on Wednesday, March 23, to finalize its year-end inventory. So that inventory can be accurately processed, phone calls, voice mails and e-mails will not be answered. There also won’t be any money available to make change.

The bookstore will reopen on Thursday at 8:30 a.m. Store hours for the remainder of spring break week will be 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday and closed on Saturday. We appreciate your cooperation and support!

Has anyone seen my black/animal print zip bag? It somehow jumped out of my purse in the Stevens parking lot. How do I know? My husband actually saw it on the ground next to a green car on Friday, but he didn’t pick it up thanks to a misunderstanding of the description.

If you have it, please call me at 503-554-2264. I miss my little zip bag!

Thanks,
Beth Molzahn
