One of the universityâ€™s oldest buildings, Wesbrook Hall on the East Bank of the Uâ€™s Twin Cities campus, is set to be torn down later this summer. U of M historian Ann Pflaum recounts the past usage of Wesbrook, which will make way for green space outside Northrop Auditorium. Pflaum says there are many legends surrounding the 19th-century structure â€“ some more true than others.

The Independence Day weekend is just around the corner, and that means cookouts, parties, and fireworks. While fireworks displays may be fun to watch, injuries occur every year when people shoot off displays of their own. Each year more than 8,800 people nationwide require a trip to the emergency room for firework-related injuries.
