is it really a surprise that the Mad Falcon has taken on a new look after coming back from winter break? Most students would say of course not, because after all, it has gone from Harry’s to s andella’s to Mad Falcon in the past three years. But what most students don’t realize about Mad Falcon’s new look is that it in fact does not come with a new name. Yella’s, a brand out of North Bergen, New Jersey, has become the corporate sponsor of the deli portion of the Mad Falcon. t he
Yella’s brand uses t humann deli meat, which is high-quality meat with no additives or preservatives and is comparable to the meat brand Boar’s Head. Jason LaPrade, the resident district manager for s odexo on campus, says he’s not afraid to change things around to meet students’ needs. “Mad Falcon is still run by s odexo, but with premium meats and cheeses. Yella’s is a northern-Jersey style deli, and it’s something different for the campus,” said LaPrade. See YELLA’S, Page 8

different areas that if the building isn’t completely tight, over a period of time, the pipe actually froze and we had a discharge of the sprinkler-head,” said Farrell. “t he good thing was that as soon as the alarm came in, someone was able to get there in a short amount of time to shut the main water valve off. i t was fast acting on university police.”

Junior Christopher Leon was heading to class when he noticed a leak from the pipes. “i just thought it was a small leak, but suddenly it just started to pour out. i nitially, people tried to run through it, but then it started spraying all over,” said Leon. i t wasn’t until 3:35 p.m. that the fire alarm sounded, See SMITH, Page 9

Professor t imothy s ullivan, a member of the Bentley Finance d epartment, passed away suddenly on January 26, 2011.
