I passed around a sign-up sheet for anyone who would like to purchase a 
jersey. They are 22.95 with cuffs and 21.95 without. I need at least 3 
more people to order one if we are going to order any this semester 
because if our order is less than $100 there is an extra $10 service fee.
So please e-mail before this Tuesday if you would like one! Thanks. Jamie 
and Jen Anderson have both ordered one.
