teen was an unauthorized experiment
which went wrong. Investigators say the
students bought chemicals from busi
nesses in Terre Haute and used the sub
stances to create an explosive device.
They intended to light a fuse to the
device and toss it into a lake on the east
side of the Rose-Hulman campus.
Police declined to elaborate except to
say that heat or an electrical charge
could detonate the chemical mixture.
“We don’t want to be part of educat
ing people how to do this,” police Capt.
Kevin Mayes said.
“It’s caused two pretty reasonably
normal people to be one, dead, and the
other in jail right now."
The dormitory in which Roesle
stayed and a nearby fraternity house
were evacuated because police found
another explosive in Roesle’s room.
Agents from the federal Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms seized
and destroyed it, and the approximate

Last month, power went out in the

as the cause of the outage.
Hinton James Area Director Mark
Godleski said appliances such as vend

periodically shut down to save power.

The Department of Psychology is
working out final preparations as the
experimental department to benefit
from the efforts of the Carolina
Computing Initiative.
Starting in 2000, the initiative will
require incoming freshmen to have lap
top computers. The initiative will also
give new IBM desktop computers to
departments in the College of Arts and
Sciences.
As the University’s guinea pig in the
initiative, the Department of Psychology
will take its first step of the experiment
on Nov. 2, when the first computer is
installed.

Of those computers, 59 will be for
faculty, 45 for teaching assistants and 17

Futrelle said the department’s old
computers would either be sent to other
departments or given to public schools.
Electronic Reserve Librarian Leah
McGinnist said security of the comput
ers, which will also feature reserve read
ings, would not be a problem.
“Security will be used so only the stu
dents and faculty will be able to access
the readings,” she said.
John Oberlin, executive director for
Academic Technology & Networks, said
the computers at the department will be
used for word processing, access to
University academic systems, e-mail and
the Internet in addition to teaching.
Emily Williamson, student body vice
president and Logistics Committee co

Although North Carolina state law
prohibits corporations from selling items
on state property, many credit card

Luse, director of the Carolina Union.
Some corporations will pay fund-rais

application, Luse said.

fast modem speed and keeping the com

would run into some weaknesses, but
good internal support for faculty and
students would smooth the wrinkles. He
also said training sessions and seminars
