Even though the economy is in a state of emergency, there is some good news.

For the first time in over a year, gas prices dipped below $3 for the first time in over a year. On campus today Speedway on Hudson and High is selling unleaded for $2.969. Though much of this can be attributed to the end of Summer, it is a good sign.
