Tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of the day the University announced plans to tear down beloved Old Fraser Hall. The building opened in 1872, and as early as 1923 had reports of being very dangerous for its many inhabitants.

GOP runner seeks funds
ASSOCIATED PPRESS
TIOGA,N.D.—Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum has been spending plenty of time in oil country lately, prospecting for GOP votes — and money.
He tromped through an oil field in the frigid northwest corner of booming North Dakota on Wednesday to tell local industry and government officials he wanted to "learn about what you're doing here and what we can do not to screw it up."
In the past week, Santorum also hit themes of peeling back regulations in Oklahoma and Texas, where newly built high-rise office towers with energy company logos are a testament to a strong sector of the economy. The energy money that flows to political campaigns is up for grabs this go around, which could help explain Santorum's recent focus.
In all three fuel-rich states, the GOP contender spoke industry language meant to forge a common bond with his hosts. He quizzed audiences on where the nation's first oil well was drilled before quickly
answering with Titusville, Pa., the former senator's home state.
"I don't own any oil wells — yet. Maybe one of these days I will. I hope to," he joked to one crowd.
Santorum has voiced support for environmentally risky hydraulic fracking practices, the on-hold Keystone pipeline and oil exploration in Alaska's wilderness. He says a Santorum administration would quickly reverse regulations imposed by Democratic President Barack Obama that he thinks are stifling energy development or creating too much uncertainty for investors.

New bill threatens insurance coverage
BOSTON — The debate over the line between religious freedom and federal health care mandates has made its way into Massachusetts closely watched U.S. Senate race, with Republican Sen. Scott Brown accusing his chief Democratic rival of wanting to "dictate to religious people about what they should believe."
ASSOCIATED PPRESS
Consumer advocate and Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren has responded by criticizing Brown for signing on to a Republican-backed bill that would allow employers and health care plans to deny coverage for any service they say violates their moral or religious beliefs.
"This is a completely new attack that threatens everyone's health care," Warren said Wednesday. "This bill would allow any employer or insurance company to refuse to
cover anyone for anything."
Brown, however, said Warren is trying to stifle religious liberties by supporting a proposal from President Barack Obama that would allow workers at religious affiliated institutions to get free contraception directly from insurers.
"Now, it is Harvard Professor Elizabeth Warren who has assumed the mantle of oppressor," Brown said in a statement. "She and her allies on the left are dictating to Catholics and other people of faith that they must do as they are told when it comes to health care or face the consequences."
Brown has intensified his criticism of Warren by invoking the memory of the late Democratic U.S. Sen, Edward Kennedy, a Catholic who held the same Senate seat for nearly a half-century before his death from brain cancer in 2009.
