After school referendum fails, Pulaski says it's looking to the future

Now, the district says, it'll use that community decision to guide its plans moving forward. "This decision by the PCSD community gives the district greater direction in its always-ongoing facilities planning process," district communications director Eric Schreiber said in a statement. "Creating and maintaining functional facilities that meet the needs of our students and community remains a top priority. At the proper time, projects may be reevaluated or reconfigured to better fall in line with our community’s priorities and serve our students." The statement thanked those who voted and took time to consider the referendum. At this point, the district has not responded to follow-up questions about whether it will pursue a referendum in April or whether it plans to close the pool. Why did Pulaski's referendum fail? The referendum vote came after the village of Pulaski completed a $15 million water infrastructure project that more than doubled an average resident's water bill, from $151 to nealry $352 per quarter.

The meetings are held in Drews’ room during ELT, and if Drews is not present, they will be in Schultz’s.

The mystery of the death mask

The Samuel Plantz death mask is perhaps one of the most mysterious artifacts housed in the Lawrence University archives. It is a plaster cast of former LU President Samuel Plantz’s face, made after his death in Nov. 1924. This artifact, although quite morbid in appearance, has always been of interest to me. I have been the student archives assistant for about two years, and in that time, I have found myself wondering about the origins of the mask. I was curious about why it was made and why Lawrence would have it, as opposed to his descendants, so I decided to look into it and finally find the answers.
