The Class of 2014 was greeted on Hawk Hill by professional staff members from Public Safety, the Office of Residence Life, Office of Admissions, and other departments on campus. They also got some face-to-face time with Saint Joseph’s University President Timothy Lannon, S.J., who spent about an hour giving out water to freshmen moving into LaFarge, Sourin, Quirk, and Tara Halls.
Also on campus was a pop-up Wal-Mart store on Neumann Lawn (across from Wolfington Hall and the Science Center), which was sponsored by Saint Joseph’s University Department of Food Marketing. No word yet as to how or why Wal-Mart was chosen for that move-in day feature; the tent was put up yesterday afternoon and the “store” will be open until 5:00 p.m. today.

whats to question? Target has had a monopoly on sju students for years. It’s about time some free competition is allowed. The prices for some items at that tent are GREAT! We’re college students, we need this kind of competition to fight for our cash and provide better quality service. Here, we don’t have to waste gas in traveling down to target nor use plastic bags.
