The Wendy's and Taco Bell in the International Center and the Wendy's and Little Caesars Pizza in the Union will close at the end of Spring semester after they decided not to rebid on their current contracts, said Jim Sheppard, manager of the Union.

During the past few days, I've developed a severe case of sailor mouth. Sailor mouth, for those of you unfamiliar with the term, is when you start cursing like a sailor. I can't even begin to speak of NHL "commissioner" Gary Bettman or NHL Players Association Executive Director Bob Goodenow without letting loose "f-bombs" strung together in an incoherent sentence with names intertwined.
