Corrections

The Law School's building, formerly known as Lewis Hall, is now Silverman Hall. Last week's correction should have referred to Silverman Hall.

The Banner Policy published Of Record in last week's issue was promulgated by Facilities and Real Estate Services and should have been attributed to them. That line was inadvertently omitted. We regret the oversights. --Ed.

Almanac will not be published next week, March 12 due to spring break. Staff are on duty to assist contributors planning insertions for March 19 and beyond. Breaking news and bulletins will be posted to "Almanac Between Issues" (see www.upenn.edu/almanac/).
