2A - Monday, February 11, 2008 IN THE BALLROOM Twister tears through Tenn. college A tornado roared through Union University's campus near Memphis Tuesday, destroying nearly half of the- university's dormitories and three classroom buildings. Many students waited out the storm safely in dorm bathrooms. Fifty-one students were taken to the hospital, and nine were put into intensive care. The university is scheduled to reopen on Wednesday, but school officials are only just beginning to plan the school's reconstruction. Damages were estimated at $40 mil- lion. BADGERS BATTLE INTEL A University of Wisconsin at Mad- ison research group responsible for controlling the university's patents filed a lawsuit Tuesday against com- puter hardware company Intel. The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation said Intel used a micro- architecture design in its Core 2 Duo processors, patented by the Univer- sity in 1998, violating federal patent laws. The lawsuit seeks an order for Intel to stop selling its processors and to pay damages and legal fees incurred to the organization. Any money won from the law- suit would be used to fund further research at the university. OPENING THE PURSE The University of Texas Board of Regents voted Thursday to spend a larger percentage of the university's endowment in the coming year,. The increase would mean $27 mil- lion more in spending for the 2008- 2009 year alone - 5 percent of the endowment. The university hopes to attract top professors with the increased spending as well as stu- dents with lowered tuition costs. The average spending rate of national universities last year was 4.6 percent. Congress has encour- aged universities to raise endow- ment spending to 5 percent annually to help alleviate rising tuition.. TOWN SPARS WITH GOWN The city of Oshawa in Ontario, Canada, is preparing to pass a bylaw next week that would force nearly 500 Durham College students out of their homes. The new regulation would limit a single-family home to four bed- rooms and would require landlords to license their properties with the city. City officials claim the new laws are necessary to stop the conversion of single-family homes into illegal student housingcomplexes. Students say the city is unreasonably blaming college students for its housing prob- lems and faults the college for not providing enough on-campus hous- ing. College officials hope a new resi- dence hall opening in September will resolve the problem.
