It's noon, and in Newman Hall, Admissions receptionist Cheryl Resmini takes a break from her busy day. Resmini has been taking many phone calls from parents of potential students because deposits are due in May. It is also school vacation week and many high school juniors want a tour of the university, as do accepted students who would like a second look. "This is a busy office, almost all-year round, but I like to keep busy. I wouldn't be happy in a boring office," Resmini said

12:40 p.m. at Subway in the Emporium. Saber Ahmadi was unable to take a break, but I was able to snap a shot of him hard at work making sandwiches. Ahmadi's family came from Afghanistan and they have owned Subway since 1997.

Noon in the Memorial Union lounge, where the concert featured "Piano Kids." The concert was part of "The Memorial Union Noon Time Concert Series," which will be going on all spring.
