We hope you've enjoyed the trial run of Overheard at Laurier -- however if you'd like it to continue, we need more people visiting the site and more contributions! In the past month, the number of visitors to the site has exploded and we need people to keep on plugging it in their blogs, LJ, MySpace, Facebook and MSN. Keep your ears open and keep coming back! We'll be on break until class starts up again and people start talking about submitting more entries.
Happy holidays!

Guy: So? Pass a bill saying they’re special too. It’s Canada! Everyone can be special!
