Biosecurity center may aid livestockBy Laura Pelner A new center started by Purdue, the National Biosecurity Resource Center for Animal Health Emergencies, may help secure the safety of America's livestock if bioterrorism becomes a national threat. The center's Web site, www.biosecuritycenter.org, is a resource designed for animal producers, commodity groups, veterinarians and government agencies, said Sandy Amass, director of the center. "It was not set up to address bioterrorism, it was set up to help people prevent transmission of everyday diseases within and among farms," Amass said. "But, the same principles can be used (to apply to bioterrorism)."
Feast celebrates earlier simplicity
The smell of wood fires looms in the crisp autumn air. As the sun rises, nothing can be heard but the soft murmurs of the traders beginning to barter their goods. On the still, calm river a convoy of beautifully decorated canoes in an array of colors glides toward the small village. For Amber Carroll, this is the perfect escape. In a busy world of midterms, eight-page papers and hours of homework, Carroll, a junior in the School of Liberal Arts, has always been able to find solace in the annual Feast of the Hunter’s Moon Festival four miles southwest of West Lafayette.
Purdue postpones spendingPurdue officials are planning to postpone some spending within the University in response to possible funding delays or cuts caused by Indiana's worsening financial situation. After Gov. Frank O'Bannon declared a state hiring freeze, no pay increases for state employees and a restriction on state travel, higher education institutions have been asked to help the state manage the declining financial resources. Purdue officials say they are willing to do all they can to help. "There's so many uncertainties out there now that we think it's only very prudent that we be very conservative in our expenditures here at the University," said Terry Strueh, vice president of state relations at Purdue. |
