The University Bookstore will extend its hours of operation to better serve its customers for the first few weeks of September.
“We know this is a busy time for students and faculty and hope to make the start of school a little less hectic,” says marketing manager Martin Deck. “We’ll also be running back-to-school specials on supplies and clothes during this time.”
The store will open:
Lancer Shea Pierre ran back the opening kickoff 104 yards for a touchdown and set the tone for a 38-5 Windsor rout of the Toronto Varsity Blues in football action Monday at the south campus stadium.
Interim head coach Joe D'Amore shared quarterbacking duties between Sam Malian and Austin Kennedy. Malian completed 12 of 19 passes for 107 yards while Kennedy passed for 31 yards on five completions of nine attempts and ran for a touchdown.

That’s the hope of a team from the Department of Biological Sciences who installed 51 nest boxes at the University’s Pelee Environmental Research Centre on Saturday, August 27, to attract tree swallows, a blue-and-white species of songbird that breeds in the area.
“Tree swallows are an important part of our local bird community and they are excellent study animals,” said biology professor Dan Mennill, an ornithologist who helped to organize the project.
Richard Bain is looking forward to attending the University of Windsor this year, but he hasn’t registered for a single class yet.
The photographer will spend a year taking pictures of campus life for a book to be published by Binea Press. It will be Bain’s sixth project chronicling an Ontario institution of higher learning, following volumes on Western, McMaster, Guelph, Brock, and Fanshawe College.
The Lancer football team will open its 2011 campaign at home Monday, September 5, hosting the Toronto Varsity Blues at Alumni Field.
Game time is 1 p.m. Season tickets are still available and can be purchased online at www.goLancers.ca.
