There is Still Time to Deck the Doors and Cubicles
It's time to deck the halls with holiday cheer. Categories for judging in the annual Holiday Door and Cubicle contest are: Originality, Evokes Holiday Spirit or Message, Effort Involved, and Integration of Department into the Display. Seawolf Shops will provide a "mystery" prize for the winner of the contest. Dec. 21 is judgment day. To sign up, contact Jean Wasp, jean.wasp@sonoma.edu, 4-2057.
Key Reminder for Departments with Student Employees
Departments are asked to remind students holding campus keys to return or renew their keys by Dec. 31. Campus keys can be returned to Customer Services in Salazar Hall. If a student will continue serving a department through the spring semester, a new key request form must be submitted to Customer Services, signed by the dean or department manager. The form can be found at:
http://www.sonoma.edu/afd/forms/pdf/stud_key.pdf. The campus key policy allows students to have keys for the period of one semester or summer. Failure to return/renew campus keys results in an administrative hold being placed on students' registration, grades, transcripts, and diploma. These steps are taken to insure University security.

The Zinfandel post office stands ready to help the campus community with its holiday mailing needs. Hours of operation are 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Mail pick-up is at 4:30 p.m. No credit or debit cards are accepted. Phone 4-4263 for further information.
