Dear Dr. Helpful,

I checked the Classfinder and know that BL is in Bloomington, CH stands for Chaska, OW is for Owatonna, etc.

I am trying to figure out what WG stands for? Wiggy something?

Thanks.
Bob

Dear Bob,

PS: you might want to buy a GPS.

Dear Dr. Helpful,

I am thinking about taking a class this summer although it may mean giving up my weekly softball game.

Can I still register for the summer semester and if "yes," when does it begin?

Signed,
Brandon

Dear Brandon,

P.S. BTW, If you have not already done so, you should register now for Fall 2008.
