Announcements
Flu shots will be delayed
Flu shot clinics for faculty and staff will be offered
later than usual this year, due to nationwide delays in the
delivery of the vaccine. According to reports from the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there may be some
shortages of the vaccine due to manufacturers' difficulty in
producing it. Occupational Medicine traditionally has begun
offering flu shots to faculty and staff in mid-October, said
medical administrator Carol Mack. The employee shot clinics
will begin later this year. Watch Inside Iowa State or
"Today's News" online for clinic dates.
Seagrave, Pohlman on Talk of Iowa
Lynette Pohlman, University Museums director, will join

Brunnier Museum's 25th anniversary celebration, which
includes recognition of sculptor Christian Petersen. Talk
of Iowa begins at 10 a.m. on WOI-AM.
New format for student on-campus addresses
Student on-campus addresses have a new look in
university systems and published directories. In a
collaborative effort between the university and the Ames
postmaster, the addresses have been reformatted to take
advantage of new automated postal equipment and to improve
mail service. As a result, residence hall addresses display
the room number, followed by the hall and house (e.g., 9999
Friley Dodds). University student apartment addresses display
the unit number and complex name, followed by the apartment
number (e.g., 111 University Vlg Apt A). For more
information, contact the registrar's office or the residence
department.
Hawthorn Court not included in campus mail delivery

has a 50010 zip code and is not included in campus mail. All
