Welcome back

As students return from break and look forward to the routine of another semester, The Racquet is also looking ahead.

This semester will bring many important goings-on around campus and in the community, from groundbreaking on the new residence hall and student senate elections to county board races. UW-L will also begin planning a new parking ramp, explore building a new student union science building, and of course grapple with its ever-shrinking budget.

The Racquet's mission is to bring to students the news they need to understand where their university is now and where it's going, as well as the entertainment that helps them get through their daily routine.

So welcome back to classes, stay warm, and remember that in eight short weeks we might actually be able to wear shorts and t-shirts.
