* Please Return the Tin City Banner

To whomever took the banner from the Tin City Student Archaeological Project, please return it to the place from which you took it. We won't ask any questions. Due to a recent cut to our department budget, we cannot afford to replace it. This is a project of which our students, department, and university are proud and that banner helped communicate the excellent work our students do to everyone associated with, or visiting, the campus. Without the banner, our excavation trenches look like an ugly hole in the ground. Show pride in your university and help share that pride with the campus community and general public by returning the banner. Thanks.
