The Athletics Department made the announcement directly so it was in their news feed, but that's not connected to the general announcements for the college. We're already working on ways to get such announcements into the main feed. Here's the link to the announcement: http://www.vassarathletics.com/news/2009/11/5/WROW_1105095349.aspx
