Police post images of student revelers

Purdue Police have posted on the Internet the images of about 100 students who were videotaped or photographed during the disturbance that followed the women’s NCAA Championship game.

The images, which, according to the Web site www.police.purdue.edu, show "suspected offenders," were posted in the hope that they will lead to the positive identification of people involved in the events that caused more than $60,000 in damage to Purdue and West Lafayette.

"It’s our hope that all of the people in the photos will be identified," said Linda Stump, chief of police for the Purdue Police Department. "And depending on the circumstances of their activities … their names will be forwarded to the Dean of Students."

Insects prepare for upcoming Bug Bowl events

The fast field for this year's All-American Trot should provide for competitive races at Roach Hill Downs.

Arwin Provonsha, illustrator and museum curator for the department of entomology and voice of Roach Hill Downs, said the thoroughbred cockroaches have all been working with the highly skilled roach wranglers and will be ready for the races on Saturday and Sunday.

The races are part of the11th annual Bug Bowl, which will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. All events will take place in Smith Hall and in and around the Agricultural Administration Building.

Tom Turpin, professor of entomology, said the bowl is a great educational opportunity for people to learn about insects and overcome their hang-ups.

"People bring a certain amount of emotional baggage when it comes to insects," he said. "It's one of the things we try to overcome to teach people the role of insects in nature."

Famous radio personality to broadcast live from Purdue

When Garrison Keillor was a boy, he was the quiet one with glasses, high-water pants and skinny arms. He was the odd little person in the corner who was content to just sit and watch.

Now, he is a grown man with a successful National Public Radio show that airs internationally every Saturday night. He has a sharpness in his bespectacled gaze, honed by years of watching and scribbling in an ever-present notebook.

At 6 p.m. Saturday in the Elliott Hall of Music, Keillor will bring his characters out of his notebook and into the homes of listeners from around the world during a live broadcast. Audience members must arrive by 4:45.
