New club on campus
The Martial Arts Club was approved at the Nov. 22 Student Governance Council meeting.
The club will allow students to practice martial arts and mixed martial arts. Meetings are not set, but those interested can contact Physical Education Instructor Ron Mirikitoni.
The club stresses that martial arts are not about fighting, but about peace, harmony and self-defense.
Cashless book buyback
STLCC bookstores are using a cashless textbook buyback program. Funds will be placed on the STLCC OneCard.
The OneCard is the official student ID card used in the library and computer labs. The card can be used like a debit card.
Students will get the most money for your books by selling them at the campus where the class was held.
Buyback is held at Meramec Monday-Thursday, Dec. 13-16, 8 a.m.-7 p.m.; Friday, Dec. 17, 8 a.m.-2 p.m.; Monday, Dec. 20, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.; and Tuesday, Dec. 21, 8 a.m.-2 p.m.
