0 2A - Monday, January 14, 2008 MONDAY: in Other Ivory Towers TUESDAY: Arbor Anecdotes WEDNESDAY: The Extremist THURSDA Explained Y: FRIDAY: Before You Were Here 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.
