Project Stack. If you turned in your project on or before 7PM on Sunday, you should have comments back from me now, and I'll keep working on those Sunday evening assignments today. As always, you can check the stack to make sure I received your assignment.

Event on Campus. From UPB, it's Haunt the Union, a free haunted house in the Union today (details).
