Bug Bowl features creepy, crawly fun
By Megan Finnerty When he was in high school, Bug Bowl changed one graduate student's life. Luke Jacobus came to Purdue's annual celebration of insects several years ago and remembers that the weekend of insect festivities confirmed his dreams of becoming an entomology major at Purdue. "It was that and I like insects," Jacobus said, laughing. "It was exciting to see other people who like insects too." Bug Bowl is a carnival of buggy delights such as a cricket-spitting contest, an insect petting zoo and a bug buffet featuring mealworm stir-fry and chocolate-covered crickets. Finance committee recommends tuition increaseThe recommendation of the finance committee to the Board of Trustees is that tuition costs will go up. Today, the Purdue's Board of Trustees is expected to approve a 10 percent tuition increase for current Purdue students. That increase will result in a 34 percent increase for prospective in-state students and a 17.2 percent increase for prospective out-of-state students because of a tuition increase of $1,000 approved as part of Purdue's strategic plan. The increase in tuition is a result of a shortfall in the state budget this year and Purdue President Martin Jischke said the extra funds will help the University. "It will allow us to stay the course on the strategic plan," Jischke said. The increase will also allow a modest salary increase for Purdue staff. Campus protest sparks debates
A protest occurred Thursday for resolution in the Middle East, causing discord as more groups arose to demonstrate their differing views. Sponsored by nine organizations, the rally on Memorial Mall was a peaceful demonstration to protest Israeli violence against Palestine. "We are trying to increase awareness on campus. We are not here to judge or condemn. We are here for peace," said Michael Barjum, a sophomore in the School of Management. |
