FROM CLASSROOM
DISCUSSION TO FUNDING A SCHOOL
Africa must be in my script for life. In 1965, I spent my freshman
year at Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, Nigeria. As the only
white student for most of the year, I had a unique set of experiences
and made a group of friends who have influenced my life ever
since. Fast-forward to 1996, with me in the role of university
professor rather than student. I spent a year's sabbatical at
the Border Technikon in East London, South Africa. I was helping
to establish a center for academic development, based upon work
my colleagues and I had done at Utah State University.

45,000 LB TANK
EXTRACTED
Up, up and away — finally. After a short delay to procure
heavier equipment, contractors successfully extracted a 45,000
pound underground tank from its home since the late 1940s —
at the foot of Old Main Hill at Utah State University. Attempts
to lift the fuel container Wednesday were futile, according
to employees of ATC Associates Inc. of Salt Lake City. Contractors
prepped the site last week by removing dirt from above and around
the 51-foot steel tank, which is 12 feet in diameter. The tank
was cleaned and 800 pounds of dry ice were dumped inside to
purge the tank of oxygen — a precaution against possible
explosion, explained Dean Henderson, a geologist for ATC Associates
Inc. (Herald Journal, 10/29/02)
OUT-OF-STATE ENROLLMENT UP DESPITE TUITION HIKE
Despite the new law that makes it harder for students from
outside Utah to qualify for in-state tuition rates, out-of-state
enrollment is up nearly four percent over last fall. Utah State
University Provost Stan Albrecht said USU had 400 fewer new
freshmen and transfer students from outside the state this fall.
Overall, nonresident enrollment is up because USU waived the
out-of-state portion of some 700 returning students’ tuition.
These are students who would have reached residency status this
year were it not for HB 331. (Herald Journal, 10/29/02)
FRAT PARTY ENDS WITH FIGHT: FOUR LOCAL POLICE
AGENCIES INVOLVED IN DISPERSING SEVERAL HUNDRED HALLOWEEN REVELERS
At least one citation was issued and an arrest made when a
fight between two groups of Halloween revelers broke out at
the end of a fraternity party Sunday morning near Utah State
University. It took police officers from four local agencies
about an hour to disperse several hundred people attending a
party at the Sigma Nu Fraternity house, Logan police Capt. James
Geier said. The fight broke out about 2:45 a.m. (Herald Journal,
