WSU SPOKANE RALLIES TO SUPPORT VICTIMS

Ribbons were distributed to over one hundred faculty, staff, and students who attended the Sept. 14 lunch hour remembrance at SIRTI for last Tuesday's victims. Although many people had already donated, several dug into their pockets again and $195.55 was collected for the American Red Cross and delivered to the Q6 studios along with the leftover ribbons.
