The University recently took first
place in the "AT&T Investment
Challenge" - a competition be-
tween student investors from around
the nation who invest $500,000 of
"play" money into the stock market.
The University's average value
finished at $959,099, a 92 percent
gain over a four-month period, and
$50,000 more than second-place
University of South CarolinaCoastal.
Final standings are based on the
average value of each college's top
15 portfolios.
School of Business
Administration junior Russel
Anmuth entered five portfolios in
the competition, one of which placed
third in the nation. His other four
portfolios placed 9th, 14th, 30th, and
85th.
"This is the most competitive and
exciting thing I've ever done,"
Anmuth said.
He spent between 30 and 40
hours per week researching different
companies and reading the Wall
Street Journal, Investor's Daily, and
local papers - constantly keeping
an eye on the market.
Anmuth said his strategy was to
invest in pharmaceutical companies.
"Wall Street has always loved
medicine," he said.
Anmuth won a two-person, five-
day trip to the Bahamas, $7500 in

cash, calculators, free AT&T phone
calls, and, "the pleasure of seeing
my name in USA Today," which
listed updated standings every week.
LSA first-year student Patrick
Whittaker finished 44th nationally in
the competition.
He said the program was an
exciting and educational experience.
"I learned how the New York
Stock Exchange operates and where
and how to watch for the trends in
the stock market," Whittaker said.
Whittaker also monitored the
news carefully. "If the FDA failed a
drug, then it could have an effect on
all the pharmaceutical companies."
Lisa Nollet, director of
Promotion and Public Relations at
Wall Street Portfolios, said many
students have shown an increased
level of sophistication and knowl-
edge since the program's initiation
four years ago.
She said she is continually im-
pressed with the caliber of students
and mentioned University students
have repeatedly shown an interest in
this program.
Tom Kippola, campus promoter
of the competition, and Anmuth both
cited the program's benefits in giv-
ing students real-world experience.
"It bridges the gap between theory
and reality and gives the student
actual experience," Kippola said.
"Anybody who wants to learn
about the market should try this
game," Anmuth added.

Restructuring involves service
improvements including upgrading
equipment in the Campus
Computing Sites and providing a
few newer microcomputers at some
sites, according to Van Howeling's
message.
"Administrative units like ITD
are probably looking at cuts earlier
than other schools or colleges be-
cause we have a lot of senior staff,"
McClatchey said. She said those
who have worked for the University
more than 10 years need 90 days no-
tice before their employment is
terminated.
The staff restructuring will be
implemented between now and July.
ITD will sponsor open meetings
