LEARNING TO ROLL
Want a donation? Fire your coach.
According to e-mails exchanged
between University of Washington
alumnus Edward Hansen and Uni-
versity of Washington president Mark
Emmert, Hansen pledged to give the
university's law school $200,000 if
Emmert fired Athletic Director Wil-
liam Turner and football coach Tyrone
Willingham, The Seattle Times
reported. Hansen was upset over what
he considered a disappointing season
for the university's football team.
While Willingham remains head
coach, Turner stepped down in
December. Hansen said he plans to
offer the school $100,000 because half
of his goals were fulfilled. Emmert
had previously condemned the offer as
"grossly inappropriate."
DRIVE-THROUGH TEXTBOOKS
Last month, Owens Community
College became the first school in
Ohio to offer a drive-through book
exchange, The Chronicle of Higher
Education reported. Tents were set up
to house textbooks, giving students the
opportunity to buy and sell their used
books without ever leaving their cars.
Owens, primarily a commuter school,
hoped to accommodate students from
outside the area.
The school ran two traffic lanes
through a parking lot to create a tem-
porary outdoor bazaar. More than 600
vehicles drove through the tents.
LIVING IN THE LIBRARY
Brown University sophomore Grant
Gilles took library-living to another
level, IvyGate blog reported. Gilles
didn't set foot outside a Brown Uni-
versity library for an entire week in an
effort to win a housing contest where
the prize is first pick in a dorm lottery.
Installing himself in a basement
study room, Gilles whiled away the
hours watching television online and
playing board games with friends. He
said he hid his clothes and personal
effects in an air vent, and told prying
staff members that he was doing, "a
performance-art piece on the gluttony
of Brown students."
Gilles, who filmed his stay and said
he would submit the movie for the con-
test, hopes to move into a penthouse
suite in the dormitory.
THE TRASH ACTIVISTS
In an effort to promote recycling
and raise awareness about waste,
eight students at Clarkson University
in New York carried with them all of
the non-recyclable waste they accum-
lated for five days straight, The Chron-
icle reported. The bulging trash bags
weighed a total of 10 pounds by the
end of the week. The students were
members of Clarkson's Environmental
Conservation Organization.
The group's president, Madison
Quinn, said she thought the exercise
was thought-provoking and went
smoothly, except when one student
was accosted by a dining services
employees who reprimanded her for
a perceived attempt to steal food from
the cafeteria.
