When Parking Lot H closes for demolition of O’Shaughnessy Hall, St. Thomas will no longer be in compliance with its special conditions use permit.

A new campaign on campus will award a faculty, student or staff member who improves the St. Thomas community through a random act of kindness.

Last fall, freshman Karlie Eaton was on the smallest meal plan for first-year students living on campus. When the semester ended, she had 30 meals left over, which meant 30 meals wasted.

At St. Thomas, unused meals and flex dollars do not carry over to the next semester’s plan.

“We have to pay for a lot of meals we don’t even use,” Eaton said, suggesting that leftover meals should roll over or students should be reimbursed.

The City of St. Paul has issued a snow emergency effective 9 p.m. tonight. Included are all streets posted with signs that say “NIGHT PLOW ROUTE” and one side of all north-south residential streets posted with signs that say “NIGHT PLOW ROUTE-THIS SIDE OF STREET.”

The criminal investigation of the death of former St. Thomas student Dan Zamlen was formally closed last week, St. Paul Police Department spokesman Sgt. Paul Schnell said.

The case has officially been ruled an accidental death. Schnell said there was “never any foul play discovered relative to this case at all. The medical examiner did not find any indication that death was caused by foul play.”
