By Sam Edelstein
In May of 1998, Livingston Avenue student residents held "Livingstock," an annual block party.

Since that time, the police have worked with Syracuse University to ensure that nothing like Livingstock happens again.

According to SU's longtime policy on fund raising established by the board of trustees, outside vendors, including credit card and telephone card companies, are prohibited from setting up booths and soliciting on campus.

After waiting a year in off-campus housing, the brothers of Kappa Delta Rho have finally settled into their own home at 208 Walnut Place. "We outgrew our old house," said Geoffrey Levine, a senior information studies and technology major. "I think there's some attraction in being with the other fraternities and sororities that have houses on campus," said Joe Oravecz, the associate dean of students in the Office of Greek Life and Experiential Learning.
