Since 1918, more than 240,000 college students have been initiated into Mortar Board.&lt;/p&gt;

On Tuesday, he left for a final around 1:15 p.m. but was back by 2:30 p.m. and took a break only to buy a Mt. Dew from a vending machine at Henderson Learning Resources Center next door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You have everything you need. Everything is in one place," Frad said, hunkered down in the Academic Success Center with Kozaczuk and Kellin Garcia, a sophomore double-majoring in accounting and finance from Kansas City. The room, with walls lined in white board, is great for studying math. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kozaczuk, originally from Poland, came to the library when he got off work at 10 p.m. to study macro-economics with Frad. The pair met Garcia, who needed some help with calculus, in the Academic Success Center early Wednesday morning. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I got an A in calculus," Kozaczuk said, so he was happy to help her. She checked in the Academic Success Center for help, she said, "because I basically live here so I knew this was the math tutoring room." Garcia said she gets too distracted to study in her room. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Students like these three are the reason Mabee Library began its continuous hours during finals week in 2009. Increasingly common at colleges and universities around the country and the region, extended hours ensure a quiet place to study for finals, finish papers or collaborate on projects. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is a positive event for students," said Sean Bird, assistant dean of libraries. "For libraries in the 21st Century to be relevant, we must be about more than books. The first thing we can do is to make people the center of our service. That's what this is. It's about recognizing students need a place to study, to do research, and their schedule is different than it has been throughout the semester. We're willing to alter our schedule to meet them in the middle."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 3 a.m. Wednesday there were 45 people at Mabee, down from 142 at Midnight. At Midnight Tuesday there were 124 people studying, down to about half a dozen between 5 and 7 a.m. During the regular semester, the library is open until 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. Since continuous hours began on Sunday at 6 p.m., there have been at least three students in the library at all times. The library will close at 6 p.m. Friday, at the same time the Residence Halls close for the semester. Until summer classes begin on May 28, the library will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cal Melick, public services librarian, was at the Mabee Library information desk at 3 a.m. Wednesday. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There's always a few diehards," he said. "When you think about it, Washburn has 7,000 students. Hopefully the others are studying at home." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melick arrived at 5 p.m. Tuesday for his library shift and said he was impressed with the turn out for the Washburn Student Government Association's free pizza and ICEEs on Tuesday evening. He said the line was very long. So long, Frad said, that he didn't bother stopping his work to wait for food. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Garcia had a different approach: "It was free dinner" that allowed her to keep her nose to the grindstone. &lt;br /&gt;&nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;At 4:30 a.m. she was still there, working with a group of friends in one of the library&rsquo;s booths. She said: "I'm tired." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contact: &lt;br /&gt;Michaela Saunders, university relations, 785-670-2154, during the day&lt;br /&gt;Sean Bird, Mabee library, 785-670-1550, during the day Wednesday&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Editor&rsquo;s note: The busiest time has been from midnight to about 3 a.m. with attendance falling off to near single digits by 4:30 a.m. The librarian at the information desk when you arrive will be able to give you the night&rsquo;s count. Wednesday&rsquo;s night librarian, 11 p.m. to 4 a.m., will be Martha Imparato. Thursday morning&rsquo;s librarian, 4-8 a.m., will be Elise Bilas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></content><leftcolumncallouts><leftcolumncallout><show>Yes</show><media><image><image><path>/</path></image></image><imagelink><internallink><path>/</path></internallink><filelink><path>/</path></filelink></imagelink><video><internallink><path>/</path></internallink></video></media><content><links><link><internallink><path>/</path></internallink><filelink><path>/</path></filelink></link></links></content></leftcolumncallout></leftcolumncallouts><id>2013/05/continuous-hours-mabee</id><categories><category>Libraries</category></categories><generatedstartdate>false</generatedstartdate><path>/news/2013/05/continuous-hours-mabee</path><link>site://www.washburn.edu/news/2013/05/continuous-hours-mabee</link></article><article><system-index-block><system-folder><system-folder><system-page><name>14th-annual-car-show-bbq-Washburn-tech</name><is-published>true</is-published><last-published-on>1368643399144</last-published-on><last-published-by>zztcurti</last-published-by><title>14th Annual Car Show, BBQ, and Fair Friday at Washburn Tech </title><keywords>14th,annual,car,show,bbq,Washburn,Tech</keywords><description>14th Annual Car Show, BBQ, and Fair Friday at Washburn Tech </description><display-name>14th Annual Car Show, BBQ, and Fair Friday at Washburn Tech </display-name><site>www.washburn.edu</site><created-by>zztcurti</created-by><last-modified-by>zztcurti</last-modified-by><last-modified>1368037295111</last-modified><dynamic-metadata><name>showInNavigation</name><value>No</value></dynamic-metadata></system-page></system-folder></system-folder></system-index-block><pagetype>News Article</pagetype><newsmeta><summary>14th Annual Car Show, BBQ, and Fair Friday at Washburn Tech. </summary><categories><category><path>/_cascade/blocks/feeds/news/Washburn Tech</path><dynamic-metadata><name>feedUrl</name></dynamic-metadata><site>www.washburn.edu</site><name>Washburn Tech</name></category></categories></newsmeta><startdate>05-08-2013</startdate><enddate>05-22-2013</enddate><featured>Yes</featured><primarycontent><pagetitle>14th Annual Car Show, BBQ, and Fair Friday at Washburn Tech </pagetitle></primarycontent><content><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The public is invited to Washburn Tech&rsquo;s 14th Annual Car Show, BBQ and Fair which will be held Friday, May 10, 2013 from 9 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. at the Washburn Tech campus.&nbsp; The Car Show &amp; Fair is the institute&rsquo;s largest annual fundraiser for the Washburn Tech Care Closet.&nbsp; There are five show entry classes:&nbsp; Custom/low riders, antique cars and trucks, muscle cars, motorcycles, and special interest.&nbsp; Instructors, students, and staff throughout Washburn Tech are involved in organizing and holding the event.&nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The public is also invited to participate in many of the popular contests held during the Car Show.&nbsp; Marvel at the entries in the five car show classes, try your skills in the Heavy Equipment Rodeo, enjoy the thrill of hot wheels races, laugh at the dunk tank experience, make faces in the photo booth, take your frustrations out at the car bash, appreciate the golf ball contest and video games, exercise at the 3 on 3 basketball, or reach new heights at the National Guard climbing wall.&nbsp; Additionally, at 9:30 a.m. Washburn Tech Recycled Rides will donate a vehicle to an area individual or family in need.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;There is no cost to be a spectator at the Car Show &amp; BBQ.&nbsp; However, some events require purchase of 25-cent tickets for participation.&nbsp; Funds raised through tickets are considered a donation to the Washburn Tech Care Closet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;The Care Closet, now in its 35&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; year, provides short term financial assistance to eligible Washburn Tech students in need to help them complete their education.&nbsp; Sometimes a tank of gas or bus fare to get to class one week or help with a bag of groceries can make all the difference in helping a student complete their technical program so they can get a job in the field of their dreams.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;Washburn Tech offers 25 technical programs, most of which are about 48 credits in length, in one of five divisions &ndash; Construction, Health Care, Transportation, Human Services, and Technology.&nbsp; In addition, short-term continuing education and custom courses are offered.&nbsp; Washburn Tech, which serves post-secondary and high school students, has one of the highest graduation rates of any public technical institution in Kansas, 83 percent.&nbsp; To inquire about technical programs or future courses please contact Washburn Tech at 785.273.7140 or visit our website, &lt;a&gt;www.washburntech.edu&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Washburn&rsquo;s campaign theme, &ldquo;Take a Stand, Lend a Hand&rdquo; set the tone for the campaign, which ran April 10 through May 3. This year, the Washburn University and Washburn Institute of Technology faculty and staff donated $26,403.72. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This year&rsquo;s campaign approach is to help those at Washburn gain a better understanding of what United Way does for our community and how we as members of this community can become more involved. Together by supporting United Way, Washburn is able to show that as individuals, and as a university, we understand the importance of building a better, stronger and more caring community.
