Students who filled out the travel survey featured in last month's S.T.A.T. Underground were entered in a drawing to win a $10 gift card to Java House or Chipotle, and ten lucky participants won! Congratulations to Markie Nora, Madeline Godar, Rachael Landar, Lindsay DeLand, Patrick Dwyer, Sarah Stanley, Marjola Furczon, Caitlin Lomgardo, Haley Heller, and Jamie Dupuy! Your gift cards and an informational brochure on the Iowa Voyagers Classic Europe Trip have been sent in the mail. Thank you for participating in the survey!

When it comes to credit cards, most students have resigned themselves to a "can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em" mentality. Textbooks are spendy, after all (our last Sound Off certainly proved that), and most part-time jobs don't quite cover living expenses. This month, S.T.A.T. Underground asked students to talk about plastic — if they use it, how they use it, and why.
