Freshmen minority enrollment rises
Purdue is home to a diverse group of students. That diversity increased with this year's freshmen class, which enrolls11 percent more African-American students and 10 percent more Hispanic students than last year. "We are very pleased with the diversity of the incoming class," said Doug Christiansen. "We still have a long ways to go, but we've really tried to make this a diverse campus." Christiansen said all students admitted to the University meet the same requirements, but Purdue does encourage minority students to attend.
Wrestlers grant child's wishSomeone brought up the time Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre had four fumbles and four interceptions in the same game. "Hey!" 12-year-old Avery Bell said as he punched the culprit in the arm. Bell didn't want to hear anything of the sort because Favre's his hero — the focal point of many posters in his gold and green bedroom. Favre is also the reason why the cystic fibrosis-stricken child made a wish — to go see the Packers play at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis. Thanks to the Purdue wrestling team and the Dream Factory, an organization similar to the highly renowned Make-a-Wish Foundation, Bell will be able to make that wish come true.
