Who has the star power to draw Jerry Seinfeld and Ralph Lauren to campus?
Paul Rudolph, it turns out. The rededication of the old Art & Architecture Building attracted an A-list crowd on Saturday afternoon. Catch the scene at the ceremony, page 6. Three fire trucks rushed to Old Campus yesterday at about 6:25 p.m. because smoke was filtering through a few rooms in Welch. “Anyone here burn incense?” one firefighter asked. The cause of the smoke was not determined and no damage was reported, but incense or a good ol’ Yankee Candle may have been the culprit. In other smoky news, the “cigar lounge” tent continued to reek of tobacco 24 hours after Elite, the Casino Night replacement event hosted by Morse and Stiles colleges. See story at right. YSAC members went door-to-door on Old Campus selling tickets to the Fall Show on Saturday night. But only about 1,000 students attended the event — whereas about 1,300 went in 2007, to see Mike Birbiglia was the featured performer. See story, page 3. A pedestrian was hit by a car on the corner of Elm and York around 4 p.m.
