They're...

Daley: Ascending in style...

... back! Yes, our students are back from Fall Break, and hopefully, they are rested, refreshed, and ready to complete the rest of the semester. But while our Gentlemen were on break, things here at Steds did not grind to halt. To see this, one only needs to look at the main staircase. Having been completely removed and raised for safety purpose, the Steds staircase is back, allowing our Gentlemen to ascend and descend all without fear of falling over. While he could have taken the elevator to his third floor room, Max Daley chose not to. Instead, he took the stairs, and how could he not?! On choosing to take the stairs, Daley, freshman and New Orleanian, shared, "These brand new handrails are simply outstanding. Their sheer smoothness and texture combined with their beautiful finish provides for an unmatched stair climbing experience. Truly a splendid addition to the most glorious hall on campus."

In the Red Room is on hiatus but will return next week!

... and all varnished too.
