I'm pretty sure it was automatically charged when I was there in the Dark Ages. Surprising that more have not been sold though ... we always looked forward to picking it up, and I still have all mine after all these years. I think current students will regret not having one too, but I suppose they're expecting it to be available electronically, but that doesn't seem to be a certainty.

With the world of facebook students these days could give two ***** about having a yearbook. It's sad really, I didn't know any students who had a yearbook 8 years ago when I was there. But looking back, I wish I would have picked up a few copies - would be something nice to have to look back on later in life, show to the kids and whatnot.

Yep, the Facebook stuff is only temporary

But kids don't really think about the future that much. Can't blame them ... we were the same way ... retirement was the last thing on my mind when I first went to work after graduation but I sure appreciate it now.

Indeed it used to be part of the student activities fee....

That also paid for sporting event tickets, reflector, reveille, SA, and other things I am sure. Things have apparently changed. Frankly I thought the reveille went away years ago.

The library archives copies of every reveille. I found it fascinating to trace the history of the university though the student's eyes in those books.

Tweet I saw said they had to sell 1,000 to go to print, good luck w/ that. I picked up 1 in my 4 yrs there (25+ yrs ago) and not sure if it has been opened since.
