Sheryl Crow banned from Wal-Mart
Album sales or gun sales? Sheryl Crow and Wal-Mait are
battling over lyrics that Wal-Mart calls “unfair and
irresponsible.” Despite a possible loss of 400,000 album
sales, chairman of A&M Records, A 1 Cafaro said “A&M
will forgo the opportunity” to sell her album there. The
controversy surrounds the song “Love Is a Good Thing”
which implies that children can buy guns at Wal-Mart
“...Watch our children as they kill each other with a gun
they bought at the Wal-Mart discount stores”~from “Love

Research rocket poses no danger
Federal officials ruled that a reported “missile" seen off
the Virginia coast last month was a routine space agency
rocket hunch which posed no danger. Keith Koehler,
spokesman for NASA, said the unmanned research rocket
was launched from Wallops Island and was flying within
its restricted operational zone when it was spotted by an
American Airlines pilot. The sighting took on an added
interest because of the explosion of Trans World Airlines
flight 800 from New York on July 17. All 230 people on
board were killed. Investigators have concluded that a
bomb, missle, or a mechanical failure may have brought
the plane down.

Teaching abroad
BEHREND-A Behrend
professor has turned in his
parking permit to teach in China
for the 1996-97 school year.
Dr. Kenneth J.T. Louie,
associate professor of economics,
is teaching graduate level courses
at Hopkins-Nanjing Center, on
the campus of Nanjing
University in the People’s
Republic of China.
Participating in the program
will benefit not only Louie, but
his students back home as well.
“At first, the faculty member
benefits from intercultural
experience, but once that teacher
returns, there are great benefits to
students in the classroom," said
Louie. “I hope to develop a
network of colleagues who will
in turn share their knowledge
with me and my students now
and in the future."
Question of the Week:
What do you think of the
new Nittany Lion logo?
I Ike this one better. It looks like a better lion,
the other one was cheesey. This one looks
meaner, more aggressive.

something different.
-Chad Shreckengost

In addition, Louie also said he
expects to see an increased
sensitivity to other cultures and
customs through the educational
exchange.
In addition to his appointment
to China, Louie has also named a
1996-96 Fulbright Scholar.
Under the Fulbright Scholar
Program, Louie was offered a
grant to lecture and conduct
workshops and seminars
throughout China. However
Louie was unable to accept the
award and has been invited to re
apply again in the 1997-98
academic year.
While at the Hopkins-Nanjing
Center, Louie will teach in a
graduate-level program that offers
courses in economics,
international relations, political
science, history and society.
