Click on campus plants, and you'll find a list of plants compiled by Wayne Dollase--which is me. I've listed over 500 plants and tell you where you can find them on campus." "Wow, so you you can pretty much identify any plant on campus?" "Well, I'm missing about half a dozen..." "What's that?" "Ophiopogon jaburan. More commonly known as White Lilyturf." Seen by Franz

"I'm part of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and this week, we're discussing God and money." "If you had a million dollars, what would you do?"

But they'll probably give it away too." Seen in Bruin Plaza
