From Craigslist ad:
I’m looking for some small metal containers (16oz maximum, preferably less) for a student art project. Any condition.
F-style, round topped, pour cans. Anything. But it has to be small.

VCU IHOP Express Adds Security
According to a story in the VCU student newspaper, the Commonwealth Times, security has been tightened at the new IHOP Express restaurant.
After a fight that attracted the attention of six police cars on Jan. 20 in the IHOP Express at Laurel and Grace Place, Dining Services’ recent decision to check student IDs might make more sense to students.
In last Tuesday’s TelegRAM, VCU announced that the IHOP Express will be increasing security on Friday, Saturday and Sunday after 1 a.m, when they stop taking swipes.
VCU students will be asked to show their ID in order to access the dining facility. They are allowed to have a maximum of three guests.
The eatery was opened this past year as part of new Grace Street parking deck construction.
In more positive news, students can use the Cabell library more as open hours have increased, and there is a student petition that asks the VCU administration to focus more on student needs and less on construction and expansion of the Monroe campus. (ed.- No surprise here).
Recycling “Red Wednesday” Tomorrow

OHNA Meeting Tomorrow Evening
The Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association is scheduled to have its first meeting of 2012 tomorrow (Tuesday) evening at 7 pm at the William Byrd Community House.
It should be an interesting meeting. There is sort of a delayed holiday party (attendees are asked to bring finger food) and delayed election of officers. The buyer of the Victory Rug building has said he will attend as well as Councilperson Marty Jewell. And then there may also be more parking permit discussion…..
