Pre-Pharmacy Club meets once a month on Tuesdays and a different presenter talks at each meeting. The pharmacy school dean, associate deans, students, retail pharmacists and other types of pharmacists have been presenters.
The club provides knowledge on the area of study and can be helpful to those unsure whether pharmacy is really for them. However, it is also a great experience for those who know exactly what they want to do because the club gives them the chance to see work in action.

"I think the television stations are making a big deal out of it and they shouldn't. It seems like the last couple of days all I have seen on the news is her death and there are more catastrophic things going on?"
Allen, Texas, sophomore
"I've heard she had a heart condition, but I think that's false. I think she did drugs. I bet Trim Spa's sales are going to go down."

Birmingham, Ala., junior "I think it's over-dramatized in the media, but it's a shame she died. If I had to guess, she overdosed."

KELLY PARKER Denver sophomore
"I think she's still alive because when they interviewed her mom she was not affected by it at all. Plus when they showed pictures of her supposedly dead body it looked like her old body, not her TrimSpa body."

Meat-on-a-skewer record falls in Mexico
MEXICO CITY — A group of businessmen in the northern Mexican City of Chihuahua broke a tasty record Friday, making a hunk of meat on a skewer big enough to serve 24,000 tacos.
The meat weighed 3.9 tons Mexican government news agency Notimex reported.
Officials from the Guinness Book of World Records recognized the hunk of meat as the world's largest skewer of kebab meat," Timotex reported.
Portions of the vast snack were sold with a drink for $1 a piece. Businessmen financed the taco and gave proceeds from sales to a home for abandoned children, Notimex said.

Malchow said the business had never been robbed until Wednesday. But in the past two weeks, his business has been both vandalized and robbed.
