She walked over to make sure her eyes weren't play- ing tricks. "I asked, 'ls Colorado College playing the Rams or something?' I figured it was a joke." When the students said it wasn't a prank, Hollars inquired further: "What are you going to do with it?" The students got quiet, she said. Then, they told her: "We are going to slaughter it. We are having a feast." "What? No," Hollars told the students. "I was dumbstruck." The students, three of whom were in Mongolia for five months, were preparing a traditional Mongolian barbecue. They bought the animal at a rural slaughter house for $BO. "We had some special friends in town and they de served a Mongolian barbecue," said Kate Rutherford, who attended similar feasts while in Mongolia. 2823 W. 281 h St (814) 8384884 4801 Peach St. (814) 8884822 4055 Buffalo Rd.

Every package comes in a huge yellow box with a smiley face plastered on it, which should be enough to brighten the day of anyone who is study ing for midterms. With the help of a friend from Mongolia who was in town, the students would kill the sheep in a tradi tional way: Cut a slit at the sternum, reach into the animal and pinch off a vein leading into the heart until it is dead. "Ifs a clean and peaceful death," said Jack Sasser, who also was in Mongolia, and killed the sheep. Holiars returned to her house and considered the situ ation. "I got to thinking, 'We can't have people slaughter ing animals in their back yards,"' she said. Holiars called police. A sergeant talked to the students and then checked with the Humane Society. "Apparently, the way they were going about it was legal," said Sgt. Devin Grimes. "It is unusual." After the slaughter, the students said they planned to put the sheep's parts to use: The intestines and brain will go to the college biology department, and the skin will be turned into a blanket. Late Saturday, liollars was still troubled by the event. "I just think something is wrong here. It is worri some to see 27 kids kind of enjoying killing this ani mal and drinking beer," she said. Business school tells students: Work, don't just study by Thomas J. Brady Knight Ridder Newspapers In these tough economic times, Widener University's business school is advising its students to get to work. Even while enrolled in college. "We're encouraging our undergraduates to be much more open to cooperative education or internships be cause they help you get (permanent) jobs. With the tighter economy, more and more employers are looking for ex perience," said Eric Brucker, dean of the School of Busi ness Administration. "It was a hard sell before, when the market was so good in the '9os. But now that the job market is not grow ing, it really does make a difference," he said in an inter view last week on the university's Chester, Pa, campus. With recent corporate accounting scandals in mind, the school also has a new topic for its undergraduate hon ors program this fall. Called "Corporate Law and Social Policy - Enron's Black Box," Brucker called it "a case study of Enron, corporate responsibility and business eth ics." The business school, with 38 full-time and 16 adjunct faculty members, boasts among its alumni 1984 MBA graduate H. Edward Hanway, now chief executive of Cigna Corp., the Philadelphia insurance company. Widener started an undergraduate business program in 1947 and added graduate students 20 years later. The business prograrn became a separate school in 1979 when Widener became a university. The school had 564 undergraduate students in the 2001- 2002 year and 356 master's degree students, mostly part time. Among recent innovations at the school is a two-year old program in financial planning, which Brucker said is increasingly important with the aging of the baby boomers. "A good financial planner can raise the right ques tions," he said. ' He said the school also has a program in information systems in cooperation with the German software com pany SAP Inc., which has its North American headquar ters in Newtown Square, Pa. Another new program is technology management in cooperation with Widener's engineering school. As a result of the slow national economy over the past 18 months, he said, there are more students in the full time MBA program. "That's clearly impacted by the fact that a lot of people can't get decent jobs as easily as in the past," Brucker said. Even so, Widener's MBA program is comprised mostly of part-time students who have full-time jobs. "The biggest cost of getting an MBA (while going to school full-time) is not the tuition," he said. "It's forgoing employment"
