the private university system, in my world, is constructed materially differently from the public university system. we know of some pension funds and some endowment funds at private universities, which are run differently. up not made a distinction between public and privates and i was surprised at duke and usc and miami of ohio. >> terrible year. >> there must be reason for that. >> we did a chapter, a chapter in one-party classroom, is about duke university. ists called white devils, because first, because the duke basketball team of course is the blue devils. and second, because there was a university lynching of three students t a couple years ago, three lacrosse students were at a party where there was a deranged pathological liar and criminal prostitute, drug addicted, who made up a story that she had been raped, and accused them of raping her. not a shred of evidence existed. yet, if a country -- in a country which is supposed to honor the principle of innocent until proved guilty, these three students were immediately declared gentlelady by 88 members of the faculty. the coach was f

at the university of california santa cruz is a course which is described in the official university catalog in these exact words. the goal of this seminar is to learn how to organize a revolution. and then it tells you what's an anti-capitalist revolution. now, the subject of revolution is perfectly appropriate for an academic setting, if it's taught -- if the approach is academic, that is, what is a revolution? and as it happens, there are very -- people have different definitions of what a revolution is. in fact, crane britain wrote a book called "the anatomy of revolution" which explores these perspectives. so then you would say, ask, you know, what kinds of revolutions have there been, because of the french revolution was very different from the american revolution and the american of course from the bow bowl show vk revolution. and then you would ask what advances have there been from the american revolution? obviously the american revolution, and obviously, marksist revolutions have killed over 100 million people in peacetime, had huge costs in addition to which they bankrupted

at the university of california, santa cruz is a course which is described in the official university catalog in these exact words. the goal of this seminar is to learn how to organize a revolution. and then it tells you it is an anticapitalist revolution. now the subject of revolution is totally appropriate for an academic setting if it is taught the approach is academic. that is what is a revolution and as it happens there are people that have different definitions what a revolution is. in fact there was a book written the anatomy of revolution which explores these perspectives. so then you would say, you know, what kind of revolutions have there been because the french revolution was different from the american revolution and the american force was the bolshevik revolution. then he would ask what kind of advances or what benefits have there been from revolutions. obviously the american revolution had a lot of benefits. and then you would ask what are the costs of revolution and obviously marxist revolutions that have killed over 100 million people in peace time, huge costs in addit

matter how the human race is, the most important event for a catholic in the entire history of the universe has only happened 2000 years ago. . . >> who will kiss babies. and who will be very popular and bring prosperity. he will be the anti-christ because a great majority will flock to him including christians and catholics and their only will be a small minority who will say this woman, this man is the antichrist. just as it has happened history does not repeat itself is the second coming is not a round yet but this is what happened 2,000 years ago just think of the difference of the crucifixion of christ. the majority only a small minority went from the leading in him and even a small minority there were jews who suffered for his sins. so we must understand in different ways we will not be persecuted but we will be a small minority who believe that human beings are different from all other human beings and all god is going to judge a us four is how do we behave? how do we think? how to react? how do we speak too other human beings? they have three or four relationships in this world. in

he is the associate professor of climatology at the university of delaware also the style of art -- estate dollar climatologist from 2002 through the president and his governor joined him on speaking out against climate change they have state climatology's so i am sure he will have nothing to say for pro governor kaine asked me to do the same which is what i will be full time at the cato institute speak being freely starting july 1st. is also the director of the world's most unique micro and meteorological networks the delaware observing system in which people learn a tremendous amount of fine scale distribution of climate within a small city and a large city and farm to farm this is the high-tech stuff. he holds the be a and ph.d. really love their to go to the university of oklahoma for nine and a half years and delaware which is the only institution in the united states that gives a ph.d. in climatology wanted him back and that is why he is there now. david? you're commentary. >> thank you very much. i must say i have never done one of these before and chances over -- chances are i may

and but i teach students, some of them have their arms across their chest in the universal sign of resistance to the message or the messenger. and yet, there are many wonderful students who are willing to consider, to assure you out when you make the case for freedom. this last september, we just opened a gradual loss school, the first of its kind on the american model, which is to say three years of law school after you have an undergraduate degree. everything in china is numbers. if you forget the billion, 300 million makes him the second biggest country in the world. this law school at about 150 places, and even the president of stanford would have been astounded at the differential between the number of applications and places. thousands of highly qualified people. the humanities, the arts, engineering, the sciences. so they trimmed the list down and finally had about and decided they would have interviews. they said, what inspired you to go to law school? they could not see my aunt was a lawyer, my brother went to law school. almost everyone of them said they were inspired by a movie. th

flake: this would remove $1 million from the university. i have nothing against environmental science. i think very highly of the gentleman who has sponsored this earmark, but i do have a problem of handing out these kind of earmarks to private universities. drew university is not only a private institution, but has a reported endowment of $268 million. in addition, the university was awarded a grant of $950,000 by the andrew l. mullen foundation, a grant that was for the establishment of the new environmental studies and sustainability major at the school, according to the university's website. aapplaud drew university. it speaks highly of the university that it was able to secure a grant. but it's curious that it should receive a $1 million earmark for the development of new environmental studies courses for the construction and improvement of science laboratories. it sounds to me like this new course of study not only got a grant from the foundation for the new major but $1 million grant from the taxpayers as well. i'm sure the curriculum

well, the department of meteorology at san jose university is the only meteorological department in the public university system in the state of california. it has a strong focus on undergraduate programs. there are very few bachelor of science in meteorology programs in the western states. so the benefits of this program will extend to other states in the region whose students will attend san jose state. there are not a lot of options for developing this important curriculum. and it has the faculty capable of developing and offering this new course. the gentleman asks, why should the federal government be funding this? i think noaa makes that point for me. the story from the agency's website reads, noaa leads climate impact and adaptation activities. this is what noaa does. it is dedicated to enhance the economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events. the curriculum and the funding in this bill will help it achieve this mission. the university will seek other funding sources to fund the class after it has been geared up.

the interesting thing about these demonstrations is that they are democratic and universal. both secular and religious people from different beliefs, christians, jewish, bahai's, as well as muslims have been oppressed by this region. when religion is an ideological tool for the state it does not represent the various beliefs and interpretations of the people. another interesting thing is that nothing in this protest has been said to signify respect towards a new religion, ethnicity, or nation. the civil society is progressive enough that has forced people to come out and publicly criticized mr. ahmadinejad for his comments on the holocaust. to tell him how damaging it has been to the image of iran b. i know from reading various comments that inside iran mr. ahmadinejad was very much chided for this. the rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness does not belong to any nationally, and ethnicity, or religion. it goes beyond these borders. host: this from the paper this morning. it is an ap story which says that on wednesday iran accused the u.s. of intolerable meddling.

they're in the eisenhower center at the university of new orleans, and they'll be a part of the national d-day museum when we get it built. that's what they're there for, and it has been extraordinarily satisfactory to us this year, because abc has come down, nbc, cbs, cbc, bbc, the works, have come down and mined our archives, and they can come in. "do you want a story from the rangers? here, we've got maybe 300 rangers all told" -- no, not that many -- 100 rangers all told. they read one, "god, this guy is great. where do i find him?" we'll give them his name and his address and telephone number, and the network will go out and do an interview with him. and it's just great for these guys. i mean, they just love it, being able to go on national television and tell their stories. as i say, it's just immensely satisfying to us. but it's for 13 years that we've been collecting these in obscurity, looking forward to the 50th anniversary. and it's not just the television, it's the newspapers and it's book writers and scholars of all kinds, and they're all coming to new orleans because we hav

thank you for coming today for our discussion of the book recently released by the university of michigan press on argument in the supreme court. i am going to moderate our discussion. this book, edited by tim johnson, is a unique volume. the editors have assembled a series of essays written by journalists who covered the supreme court. each focuses on oral argument and the case before the supreme court and offers lessons on the court and the role of oral arguments. the supreme court's to sit in making process is a uniquely closed process to the public. virtually all the court's deliberations occurred behind closed doors. one of the only objections to the secrecy is oral argument. when the court spend an hour in public discussion of the case. oral arguments present the unique window on the supreme court decisionmaking. the panelists have observed countless cases of oral argument, having had the unique opportunity to observe what the court does in oral argument, their experience gives us an interesting perspective on the public face of the supreme court. on our panel today we have one of t

we're talking here about the universe of minnesota absentee ballots. you would have us -- you've got a broad lands. you look at the whole universe, you say there is some intelligent design mandated by statute, and there is not chaos. it is order. there may be some, and you can cede some average star system galaxy or however you want to do it. what mr. coleman is saying is that he focuses on, look at this aberrant galaxy, look at this aberrant, this is proof that the universe is chaos. and in fact, they have shown me that. they have shown that there is some chaos in this universe. it's been pinpointed. tell me why they have not shown us enough that we should not implicate due process and equal protection here because, yeah, we can't see the whole universe but they have shown us enough to show there's a problem, and it implicates due process and equal protection. >> your honor, i have several answers. first, the trial court leaving this court's decision now correctly noted that the times to challenge an unlawful vote is before it is separated before its e

s or cal teches or the harvards or maybe phoenix university or the university of arizona. but collectively, as a group, we can. and so, the department gives the project to the consortium and the best pieces of the consortium then collect together to work on that project. university of kentucky may be teamed up with western kentucky university. university of louisville or perhaps an out of state university. and they work on and solve the project the department has need for. to set the record straight, the institute receives specified research task orders from the science and technology direct rat at d.h.s. the task orders are then farmed out to the consortium of colleges and universities throughout the state of kentucky and other public and private entities across the country for their input on that particular problem. this process taps into and unleashes the intellectual firepower of our best and brightest people to address new and emerging threats to the homeland. these are competitive grants. make no mistake. these are competitive grants, all decisions on funding are mad

are you familiar with the what the university of illinois has with this super computer that they are simulating the tornadoes and hurricanes and assimilating daferts on these computer models? i was down at the university of illinois which has the fastest computer, madam chairman, in the whole country. and what they showed me a demonstration of is a simulated tornado. and they can then study this and then actually prepare based on the atmospheric condition that is are taking place and the development of the various winds and velocities and other elements that are going to make up a tornado. as well as assimilating floods and disaster even say chicago, they have this computer design that says there's a disaster in chicago, where is the evacuation routes? or do you know of any other facility where this is being studied, computer wise, or these assimulations are taking place? >> i know there's a lot of different programs out there. i'm not directly -- doy not know directly about this but i will ask my staff to get with your staff. >> we would certainly like to let you all know what the un

because the universities do nothing to commemorate the event except maybe to have a political correctness seminar about how america's insensitivities led to the tragedy of 9/11. they do this all over the place. some of the schools that have tried to have the 9/11 never forget projects, the schools have actually tried to shut them down saying -- one of the administrators said i feel uncomfortable having the american flags on our campus. can you believe that? we just plow through that. there's a great controversy to open up discourse on your campus. we're not for controversy for controversy's sake. what you're trying to do is make a difference and pass along to your fellow students there's another way of thinking. and, hey, maybe america is the greatest country on the face of the earth and maybe our values and principles lead the way for freedom and opportunity for other peoples around the world as well. so those are just a couple of examples but clare boothe luce folks and america's foundation folks are happy to have you come up with other ideas. thank you, eva. >> great, thanks. >> hi, th

, $405 for the whole year my senior year at the university of tennessee, gasps go through the room. but back when i went to college, anybody who needed to could work part time and pay all of their college expenses. nobody got out of college with a debt. but around that time or maybe a little bit before the federal student loan kicked in and the colleges and universities across the country have used that as a means or an excuse to raise their tuition and fees three or four or five times the rate of inflation. if i went to any college campus and told those students that the federal student loan program is one of the worst things that ever happened to them, they would stare at me probably in disbelief and yet it really is one of the worst things that ever happened to them. because throughout our history college tuition and fees went up very, very slowly and went up at the rate of inflation or even less until that loan program came in and now ever since that program came in, today tuition and fees are three or four -- 300%, 400%, 500% higher than they would have been if we'd left the th

i was down at the university of illinois which has the fastest computer, madam chairman, in the whole country and what they showed me a demonstration of is a simulated tornado and they can then study this and then actually prepare it based on the atmospheric conditions that have actually taken place in the development of the various winds and velocities and all the other elements that are going to make up a tornado as well as simulating floods and a disaster even in the city of chicago. they have this computer design that say there's a disaster in chicago. where's evacuation routes? do you know of any other facility where this is being studied computer wise or are these assimilations are taken place? >> senator, i know there's a lot of difficult products out there. i do not know directly about this but i will ask my staff to get with your staff so i can get briefed. >> i would like to let you know what the university of illinois is coming up with in terms of the simulations and the preparations for it. >> thank you, senator. i'm actually aware of a center like that in louisiana. i don

senator kay bailey hutchinson was in my class at law school at the university of texas and we've been friends ever since. and senator john corn anyone is on the senate judiciary committee. he could play the key role in helping move us to a new approach on judicial selections. i understand they've met with the president's counsel about judiciary vacancies in tas. i hope i can persuade them to play a broader role in putting an end to the current way of doing business. currently 67 vacancies in the federal courts and 22 of those are characterized as judicial emergencies. based on the size of the caseload and the amount of time the seat has been empty. short-handed courts cannot function properly, and many litigants who face lengthy delays and crowded dock et cetera are ultimately denied the justice they seek. the d.c. circuit has two vacancies, including the seat vacated by chief justice roberts. the district court has three vacancies. judge kessler's slot from two years ago, judge holden who -- and judge robertson who took status on december 31st. our court is swamped with guantanemo ca

what he is saying is that look at this aberrant -- this is proof that the universe is chaos. ey have shown me that. they have shown me some chaos in this universe. tell me why they have not shown us enough that we should not implicate due process and equal protection here -- because we cannot see the whole universe, but they have shown us enough to show us there is a problem? >> i have several answers. the trial court correctly noted that the time to challenge an unlawful gigot is before it is separated from its envelope. it is at the time the ballot is delivered to the present. >> the problem i have with that is that many counted by the absentee ballot boards in the metro area, i did not see anything in the statute that would provide an opportunity for norm coleman to challenge that board. i do not see any indication that he would have received notice or any candidate would have received notice. it seems to me that we have those categories that there was no opportunity for him to object to and we are now left with what is left on the return envelope at the precinct for which

think we're at a point* in history where we can say, look, 1948 was a watershed year, the year of the universal declaration of rights, coming out of the horror of world war ii, the horror of nuclear weapons, the horror of the holocaust. to say to one another we must start and begin by saying each one is precious. each one is the only one. and fugitive days i talk about the fact that whenever i go to the phenom mall in washington and paygo whenever i am there it makes me weep because there are 60,000 young americans on that wall and the other part that makes me weep there are indochinese missing from the wall. why? doesn't each one of them have a mother or a father is and each one of them have somebody that care for them? why are they invisible to us? frankly i think this is something, it is a function of so many things certainly the speed of the modern world or the pressures or mass communication but it is also a deeply ancient and human problem. how do we see beyond our tribal, national, gender affiliations and a c1 another as people as hopes and dreams and aspirations and skills and capacitie

the university of georgia is home to the world-class center for food safety, which has for more than 17 years assisted the c.d.c. with foodborne disease outbreak investigations. the university of georgia center for food safety is known for its leadership in developing new methods for detecting, controlling, and eliminating harmful microbes found in foods and is the go-to organization for the c.d.c., f.d.a. and food industry when seeking solutions to difficult food safety issues. the center for food safety frequently provides f.d.a., c.d.c. and state health departments advice and assistance in isolating harmful bacteria such as salmonella and e. coli, 0157 from foods. i am hopeful that the food safety response act of 2009 will be considered as a part of comprehensive food safety legislation in the months ahead. both senator klobuchar and myself are cosponsors of the f.d.a. food safety modernization act, a bipartisan measure to enhance current food and drug administration authority to better protect our nation's food supply. whether produced domestically or imported, americans must be

is the center of the universe. science is never settled. we should continue to to question whatever it is that is out there. the sense of urgency that the other side ud to pass this bill the way they've done, it's quite muted. 25-year exemptions for certain energy companies to allow them to get their power plants under the wire to get support for this bill. the ag delays implementations. and so this sense of urg against illinois evaporates as well. this will be the cost of thousands of jobs. the example is the spanish experiment over the last 12 years. there is more greening of their economy shows that every single green job created that two private sector jobs were destroyed. of the green jobs created, only one in 10 were permanent jobs. our own president has said that his cap and trade bill, which is the one that just passed will cause electricity rates to skyrocket, skyrocket, mr. speaker. that does not sound good when you are talking about a product that goes into every manufactured product in this country. that's not a good idea. this b

the rules? guest: you have to understand how universities are structured. they are full of people who do whatever research they want, but they have to do research that there other peers consider relevant. it is up to individual professors. it is the matter of finding a professor with a knowledge of financial regulation and law and the interest to do this. this is better done in a law school than the department of economics. but there are serious problem with the obama justice department. there is also another situation in california where i believe a former basketball star has been elected a mayor, and there has been a similar trail of misuse of government grants, a criminal investigation. the criminal investigation has gone away. host: last fall, republican -- last call, republican from palm beach. caller: we can cut the mycogen as -- michael jackson's, we all have a billion or two coming in. our government itself was basically set up for defense. somehow or other in the last 40 or 50 years it has gone from local people taking care of local needs to where i

my day job is i'm a professor at the university of illinois in chicago and i have been there for 22 years so i gap professorring was 43. but i think of my work really as the work of an activist, and it continues to be that even though i'm situated at uic and i do a lot of of writing and teaching and sponsor are dissertations but i have thought of myself as a political and social activist. >> host: what were you teaching last semester? what what course? >> guest: i just finished this week so i don't want to talk bit immigrant. i'm kidding. my prefer who whines about a professor ought to be taken out and given a real job in fact my son dish have three sons but my middle son, malik, is a middle school math and science teacher and whenever the talks to his two professor parents and his writer brother and his law student brother he says, would you people please be quiet, some of us have a real job, and i accept that. it's a real job teaching middle school math and signs. last semester i taught four courses. i taught a course in narrative research which i teach every spring. i taught a required

where would these be in the this list of priorities compared to universal health care? >> what the president has said it is that he thinks comprehensive health-care reform is crucial. he has given a list of ways to pay for it. about two-thirds of our suggested savings from medicare and medicaid. one-third coming from new tax revenues. he had a suggestion which is limiting the atomized reduction on high-income earners. -- limiting the atomizeitemized deduction on high-income earners. >> should we pass the tax cuts first and then get around to health care? >> i think we should do extensive health care reform. we need to do it for health care and make sure that it does not increase the deficit in the crucial putin your budget window -- crucial 10-year budget window. >> thank you. >> thank you for being here today. i agree with the economic arguments. we got a medicaid waiver in tennessee to a form a managed health-care plan to cover most of the people in the state of tennessee. what happened was it was a very rich plan offering a lot of benefits. small businesses and others

we really embody the express. >> associated with the university? >> know, chicago review press is actually the parent company to independent publishers group, which is a large distribution company that has a wide variety of publishers that we distribute here in north america, and chicago review press is kind of our publishing editorial on. >> we've been talking with elizabeth malzahn of chicago review press. >> this summer bookie is asking what are you reading? >> this summer in addition to a big stack of pretty trashy novels i have a couple of other books on my nightstand table. first of all i want to read a homemade life, stories and recipes for my kitchen table. she is a really fantastic food blogger. her blog is called orange and she is also a columnist for bon appÉtit magazine. i'm excited to read her book. next up is handed this gets posted scans and other southern specialties. and entertaining life with recipes. and as by julia reith, a fantastic vogue writer and it's a recollection of her southern upbringing. i love reading the food books in

and so the quality of the universities goes down and the tuition at the universities goes up. finally senators serving as governor of their home states trying to manage an expanded medicaid program would find that most of the people -- maybe a majority debaters would find a hard time getting service. today 40% of doctors nationally don't provide full service to medicaid patients because of the low reimbursement rates. so, mr. president any version of the bill we're considering will explode in complexity and astronomical spending and will never succeed. there is a better way. there are several better ways. instead of stuffing low-income americans into one failing government health care program -- medicaid -- that now provides substandard care and creating a new government-run insurance program, why don't we give low-income americans government grants or subsidies so they can purchase private insurance as is provided by the wyden-bennett bill, for example, which has a cost of zero to the taxpayers according to the congressional budget office. or the coburn-burr bill. or the senat

as buck mentioned, he pitched in college at the university of north carolina. so he was born where the gators play, the university of florida, and he went to income ms. speaker to play. andino, high fly ball to right. back on it is hermida and just in front of the warning track he has it for the out. and the orioles down in the fifth. an error and a man left. we're in miami and the orioles with a 1-0 lead. we build motion detectors. we build troop transports. we build moving vans. we build tv stations. we build the 25 mile per gallon chrysler town & country. come see what we've built for you.  >> back in south florida, everybody. the orioles' -- the orioles leads now 1-0 in the fifth inning. it seems the clouds are starting to part. the shower seems to have moved through, and that is good news with the way koji uehara is pitching on the mound, dave trembley does not want the lose him to a rain delay. dave plaid it clear before the game, in the event of a rain delay, he would not put koji back out on the mound after that delay. he said also with the day off y

so i would urge caution and urge the united states congress to stand up and speak about the universal values that we care about, democracy, freedom, due process of law, a lack of violence in terms of solving political disputes, and not allow ourselves to be used as a weapon against the people who we are in fact trying to help, which is the people of iran. thank you. i yield back. >> the gentleman from florida. >> i yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from california, the ranking member of the oversight and government reform committee. >> mr. speaker, it is clear today that someone have us be silent as to the aspiration of the people risking life and limb on the streets of teheran today. we cannot and should not be that way. it is an internal matter, but is an internal matter in a country that has been ruled by theocrats for so very long, who have denied real free elections and even when the will of the people was obvious, wanted to overturn the will of the people for president who could be a reformer and of opportunity, particularly to women in this country. i urge support for this reso

fugate to another question, are you familiar with the university of illinois has with the supercomputer they are assimilating with tornadoes and hurricanes and some who assimilating disasters on the use computer models? i was down at the university of illinois which has the fastest computer madam chairman in the whole country and what they showed me demonstration of a is a simulated tornado and they can then study the us and then antley prepare based on that atmospheric condition taking place in the development of the various wind velocities of all the other elements that make up for that. and as well as simulating floods and disasters will in the city of chicago. they had a computer design that if there is a disaster in chicago, where is evacuation routes. you know of any other facility where this is being studied computer wise or are these assimilations taking place? >> i know there are a lot of different programs out there and not directly -- i don't know directly about this but i'll ask my staff to be briefed on it. >> we would certainly like to let you all know when illinois is com

pass a manager, he elevated the university of michigan's -- as a manager, he elevated the university of michigan' michigas association of research to a premier organization, actually respected throughout the country and around the globe. numerous state agencies and policy-makers have sought his expertise in survey design and response. his work has received professional recognition through awards from various professional associations, including the 2001 american association for public opinion research innovator award and more recently the 2508 american statistical association julius shishkin award for originalal in and important contributions to the development of economic statistics. ultimately his deep expertise in survey response will help the census bureau focus on the most important goal of the 2010 census, which is to encourage all people to respond to the census. dr. groves will undoubtedly face a host of operational and management challenges as we move closer to the 2010 census. however, i remain confident that he is well-equipped, remarkably well-equipped, to understand the

from the university of the district of columbia law school, this is 35 minutes. [applause] >> good morning, everyone. it is a good morning and i am privileged to be the professor of public interest here at the university of the district of columbia. as the leader of the leadership conference, this is the premier civil-rights coalition. we want to build an america as good as the ideas. this is a very special honor. there are few individuals in congress to equal his integrity and his commitment to building and america that we all want to live in. ted kennedy is one of them, this is the person i am privileged to introduce this morning. patrick leahy of vermont. [applause] as the son of irish and italian parents, in vermont, where his father saw signs that said, no irish need to apply, i suspect that he understands firsthand what it means to sometimes feel like an outsider. this is a major reason why he is speaking now so loudly against injustice, whether this is inside or outside of the country. this is the trade that is most admired. you can see this as the defende

he began working for the university army missile command in huntsville in the late 1950's. for 27 years joe worked for the army missile command's research, development and engineering division at red stone arsenal. he and his engineering team helped develop and perfect weapons systems critical to maintaining our military edge during the cold war. this included the lance, helfar and thaad missile propulsion systems. when joe and his colleagues were working on the missile which is carried primarily by the appatch khaoe attack helicopter -- apache attack helicopter there was a problem in bad weather. a missile of this propulsion system gives off smoke plume cannot be directed if the smoke hinders the guidance system. the engineering team on which joe worked developed a smokeless propellant which enhanced the missile's accuracy. joe and his team earned the scientific and engineering award for 1980. when the helfar entered service in 19 # 4 it was intended for use against soviet tanks in a future cold war conflict. with the collapse in europe a few years later some began to doub

assuming job of head coach at the university at the age of 29. it was said he brought a work ethic and coaching style that would have intimidate add marine corps drill instructor. that was accurate. i can say that from personal experience. he had high expectations and he could be tough. he once told me i was fine on defense as a linebacker, but i was the weakest weak guard on the team. but most of all he was a real leader. and he was successful. three years after arriving at the university he produced a rose bowl championship team, defeating wisconsin 44-8, in the 1960 rose bowl. i was proud to play for him the next year when we repeated a rose bowl victory over minnesota, 17-7. he was a great coach and though he will be missed, his lessons will endure long beyond his death. our prayers go out to the entire owens family. they have lost a wonderful husband and father and his players will never forget him. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from new york ri
