The battle of the sexes rages on as women consistently surpass men in the student population. The past 10 years’ enrollment figures show more women than men receiving an education from the University, and new research might provide insight as to why. The current student body of 28,985 is made up of 51 percent
women and 49 percent men, a difference of 725 people. In fall 2006, women had 52 percent of the 29,317 total popuWho is lation.

You’ve got mail — unless you’re one of the numerous students plagued by problems at the recently relocated mail center. The University switched to RICOH, a privatized mail service now located in the LSU Student Union, at the end of August. The move resulted in changes to the delivery location and address formatting, as well as the elimination of several ZIP codes. Mail carried by USPS has to be re-routed to the three-week-old mail center because of problems within the organization. “We’ve been in touch with the USPS, and we’re working to resolve any problems they may be having,” said Paul Ramirez, manager of mailing services. Problems with mail delivery are due exclusively to the mail carrier, according to Jonathan Mercadel, integrated account manager for the RICOH mail center. MAIL, see page 11
