Question: For Junior/Senior, what are juniors and seniors defined as? Is it based on the number of credits a student has (60+ for juniors, 90+ for seniors) or the number of years spent at Carroll?
Answer: Is it based on the number of years at Carroll. You could be a Sophomore with 60 plus credits but not eligible to attend Junior Senior. You could be a Junior with 90 plus credits but will still have to pay for your ticket because only graduating seniors get a free ticket.
Question: Do seniors still get jr/sr tickets free?
Answer: Yes - Graduating Seniors get a free ticket. In other words if this is your last opportunity as a Senior to attend Junior Senior than you get a free ticket. If you are going to be a 5th year Senior next year we will give you a free ticket also - Thanks for sticking around

Thursday March 18th Kelly Cline Lecture END OF THE WORLD? DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH
Also on our first week of class post-break, don't miss your chance to debunk the apocalyptic myths, pseudoscience and conspiracy theory emails currently making their rounds: Check out Dr. Kelly Cline's next lecture "Mayan Astronomy, Calendars, and the 2012 Prophecy." Dr. Cline takes center stage on Thursday, March 18, at 7 p.m. in Simperman Hall's Wiegand Amphitheater. As always, his talks are free and open to the public.
Did the ancient Mayan people really predict that the world would end in December 2012? A thousand years ago, the Maya civilization flourished in Central America, building cities, giant pyramids and stone monuments. Even more impressive were their intellectual achievements with their written language, highly accurate astronomy, and a sophisticated system of mathematics, which was the first in the world to include the number zero. The Maya aligned many of their monuments to specific astronomical events, and used their observations of the heavens to create a complex and precise calendar system. Meanwhile, the Mayan language has recently been deciphered, giving us a wealth of information about their culture, history and traditions. This has allowed us to translate the "Dresden Codex" an ancient Mayan book, written a thousand years ago, detailing their astronomical observations of the Moon, Venus and the other planets. What did the Maya know? Was that 2012 disaster movie with John Cusack really a comedy? Find out with guidance from Carroll's resident astronomer on March 18.
