Purdue offers new contract to Jischke
As part of his renewed contract, President Martin Jischke will receive $400,000 if he completes his term through 2007, when he reaches mandatory retirement age.
The $100,000-per-year retention bonus is meant to "persuade him to stay here," said Wayne Townsend, vice chairman of the Board of Trustees.
"We would hope he wouldn’t want to leave (Purdue), but when you have the best, there could be other people encouraging him to come elsewhere with more money," he said.

Local art benefits from grant money
West Lafayette is making $15,000 available to local organizations.

The appeal of these grants stems from the ease and simplicity of the application and assessment process.

Ballroom Classic attracts top Midwest competition
Men dressed in black spun women in strappy high heels and short glittery dresses for eleven hours on Saturday.
Between events of the Purdue Ballroom Classic, dancers from ten Midwest colleges ran back and forth around the dance floor, some nervously scraping dust from the bottom of their shoes, others taking their place in line. The room smelled of hairspray and the chairs may never recover from the glitter.
The Classic, now in its sixth year, ran all day Saturday in three sessions, with breaks in between for lunch and dinner. Couples competed in a variety of dances, including the waltz, tango, swing and rumba, and were divided according to their experience. Traditional ballroom dances like the waltz and fox trot took place in the morning session, Latin dances in the afternoon, and team competitions and nightclub dances in the evening. Purdue's team won awards in nearly every category, and often more than one Purdue couple placed in a single event.

Purdue e-mail lacks privacy
Your e-mail isn't safe. At least not the e-mail on Purdue's servers.
According to The Indianapolis Star, last month Thomas Gannon, Indiana University's associate counsel, sent an e-mail to IU employees, administrators and the board of trustees saying IU employees and students who use IU computers assume all records, in any format including email, could be made public under state law unless the messages discuss medical records, sensitive research information or material that must be kept confidential under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act.
