CASPER, Wyo. (AP) – School
officials apologized to the parents of second- and third-grade
students who were strip-searched
while teachers looked for $10
reported missing by a classmate.
The money wasn’t found.
Midwest School Principal
Mark Mathern said the search
was “a grave error in judgment.’’
He met with the parents of the 23
students to apologize.
“We really had to take a lot of
heat (from the parents),” he said.
“On the other hand, I heard parents say, `We really like your
school and we don’t want to see
any harm come to it in the long
run.’’ An assistant principal,
three teachers and a teacher ’s
aide were suspended and Natrona
County School District Superintendent Stan Olson said he will
make a recommendation to the
school board on disciplinary
action.
The $10 was reported missing
shortly before school ended
Thursday.
The 23 children were told to
turn out their pockets and
remove their shoes and socks.
The superintendent said the girls
and boys were taken to separate
locker rooms, where the boys
removed their clothes and the
girls removed most of their
clothes.
Grant to improve computer graphics
By TRACY BROWN
Activities editor
Graphics for simulation classes in the computer
operations department will be improved as a result of
a grant it received from a computer company in
February.
Scott Lloyd, assistant professor of computer and
operations management, will present a symposium
for the use of this software at 4 p.m. Thursday in
Room 21 of Lumpkin Hall.
Lloyd said the simulation classes received a quarter
of a million dollars for their classes in February.
“We received the grant from contacts that I had
with a company in Orem, Utah, called Promodel,” he
said. “I asked them if our department could have the
money to improve our computer systems and they
gave it to us.”
Simulation is mathematically expressing any real
work system and then being able to modify it and
observe the results, he said.
“Simulation can propose changes to an existing
system and then study the results,” Lloyd said.
Lloyd said they now can teach simulation classes
with state-of-the-art software that has not been provided to the students in the past.
“Before, in simulation, people were not able to see
the results because there were not graphics,” he said.
“Students and faculty just had the research part of
simulation. Now they have research and graphics.”
Lloyd said this is the largest grant that Promodel
has ever given out to any school.
“With this grant, I will be able to pursue research
goals for myself, colleagues and students,” Lloyd
said. “ We are exposing a major state-of-the- art software.”
He said the department also received a $100,000
grant in March for the Microsoft classes.
U.S. may allow babies to die of AIDS
WASHINGTON (AP) – The
United States is paying for
experiments in poor countries
that could allow 1,000 babies to
die of AIDS unnecessarily by
withholding a protective drug
from HIV-infected pregnant
women, the patient advocacy
group Public Citizen charged
Tuesday.
The government says the studies are ethical because they are
the only way to find new HIV
protections that poor countries
can afford. Pregnant women in
developing countries today do
not get the AZT therapy that
American AIDS patients use to
protect their unborn children.
But in a letter signed by
prominent bioethicists and Dr.
Wilbert Jordan, head of the
Black Los Angeles AIDS
Consortium, Public Citizen com-
Friends
&Co
pared the U.S.-funded foreign
research to the infamous
“Tuskegee experiment’’ in
Alabama in which the government withheld syphilis treatment
from poor black patients.
Also, federal law says U.S.
doctors cannot do experiments
abroad that would not be tolerated here, the letter added in
requesting a federal investigation.
