those are the universities. i looked at the web site there and found that they had 53 of them had mission statements and only five of them even mentioned athletics. so there was an ultimate reality that when you see what university say they are about, they are about research teaching and service. they are indeed about those things that these universities also i have come to conclude that a major core function of these universities is also athletics. and i will get into this if we have time, but really when i started off with the project, i was suspecting to things. number one is that these were going to be full of misappropriation of time and compromised values and hypocrisy. there is bad, that, but there is also an unheralded benefit or two that i will talk about at the end that i think hasn't been emphasized. so in my view, big-time college sports is much bigger than simply the commercial enterprise. it in fact has cultural importance that i think needs to be thought about when you look at the whole package. we

the atlanta university center but beyond. the second engagement that we have is with the president's interfaith and campus community service challenge. we're here working diligently to try to expand the manner in which internation connections are made. higher education as has been the case with multiculturalism, matters of gender and other areas has played a pivotal role and provided leadership as there has been an attempt made to be sure that our society embraces the conversations that must be a part of who we are and who we are seeking to become. let me now take a moment to introduce our moderator. playman el a mean is the imam emeritus. we go back just a few years, but he has been on the interfaith battle fields for some 37 years. his role not only as a scholar, leader, activist, standing as an activist on his own right and advocate for the matters of dialogue between and among faiths. we invited him here because he's also -- i remember a story he told me. the only way he could get out of coming to morehouse is that he went

consider the universe of a video game. on the surface, it looks like a two-dimensional square section of the standard euclidean plane that we learned about in high school. but something interesting happens when our little ship jets away to avoid a collision. what just happened? did the ship leap into hyperspace? did it fall off the edge of its universe? are the programmers just messing with our perceptions, trying to make the game more difficult? or is there something else going on? well, something else is going on. in reality, the ship is simply traveling around its universe, going on a perfectly continuous round trip, blasting asteroids to do it safely. for us, viewing the game on a video screen, the asteroids spaceship appears to live on the surface of a two-dimensional plane. but actually, it could be "living" in other places, like the surface of a cylinder or even more exotic surfaces. that's where topology comes in, a branch of mathematics concerned with the study of spatial relationships that don't depend on measurem

there is the director of the university of tokyo india office. he's leading the school's efforts to catch up his first project was to conduct a survey exploring indian students' attitudes toward japan. it targeted students particularly interested in japan or in learning japanese. the results show that even among these students, one out of three want to study in the united states. >> if i go to the usa, i will get more opportunities in terms of jobs. and admissions for a doctorate. u.s. universities are some of the best in the world. >> reporter: feeling alarmed, yoshino tries appealing to the students' examiners. he also set up an alumni association for indian and japanese graduates of the university of tokyo. the hope is that it will help raise the university's name recognition and ultimately attract new students. >> indian students are very talented. we hope they'll choose our university and that the number of students from india will increase even if just by one or two. >> reporter: the university hopes that the number of students will spur act

we then went to memphis and waited for the opportunity to enter the university. we went down on one morning, and we were turned back at the -- one of the entrances to the university. the second time we went down was two or three days later. we got about halfway from memphis to oxford -- or to the university, and we were told to go back because it wasn't safe enough for him to enter. and finally we went back on a sunday afternoon and came in on a quiet sunday afternoon, and we went to a dormitory there about 100 or 200 behind the main office building called the liceum building and got james meredith settled in his room, an inside room. it really would have been impossible for anybody to harm him there. and then from that time on, i moved from his quarters to the liceum building through the evening. >> another still photo from your past. >> well, that's -- that's me. that's the situation that occurred at jackson, mississippi, after medgar evers funeral. the black friends of medgar evers wanted to have a march down through the city of jackson, peaceful, quiet, dignif

the whole universe, it turns out the idea of gravity underlies our thinking about the universe. you guys hear about the big bang theory? the idea that about 14 to 20 billion years ago the whole universe was in one point and exploded out, all flying out. let's look at that in terms of the gravity bit here. let's suppose, here's the big bang and all these pieces are flying. now let's suppose that we knock the whole universe into four halves just to make the thinking easy. if we can understand the simple examples then maybe we can deal with complexities. here's part of the universe here, here's part of the universe here, part of the universe here and all are flying apart. there's nothing else that exist just this and there they go. any force of attraction between these phases? how many say, yeah? it turns out this would be attracted to here, this would be attracted to here, be attracted to here and all these will act as if what? it'll all act right back down there and this would act back down there. therefore, these things would be going against a gravitational force. if that's true

of the first light into this dark universe in the coming let's say five to ten years i hope that we find the nature of this dark matter this would be a fantastic breaks coming from four percent to nearly thirty percent of our understanding this would be fantastic well in front of well you mention this dark matter there's also you know you working on the dark matter working on the dark energy there's also this thing well but does the dealing with the dark matter dark energy does it or may it present any danger for our planet for humanity no no definitely definitely not because how do you know you're doing how do you know that that it's a no if you don't know what you're dealing with. we know that the universe is stealing since billions of years will start matter and was dark energy and what we're doing is nothing else then imitating so to speak what the universe does since billions of years was much higher energy which met with many more effects collisions and we both still talk to each other we still exist so i see no danger well last year the researches registers the speed of three

ellis is about 20 miles from the university of southern mississippi. and part of i think the success for manufacturing in the united states is a strong tie with higher education. i'm going to talk a little bit about workforce training in our community colleges, but let me mention first our universities. the university of southern mississippi which is at hattiesburg, for more than 30 years has had a polymer institute. now, those of you who don't know what polymers are should run for governor of mississippi, because i will never forget when i went down campaigning to see the polymer institute, i asked the head of it, i said, shelby, what is a polymer. and he really gave me an illuminating answer. he said a polymer is a repeating molecule. great. you know, what the hell's that got to do with anything. well, of course, it's the heart of the composites industry. and we have a composite center now, associated with our defense industries and our shipbuilding industries on the mississippi gulf coast. to do such things as make paint that won't burn or that won't

the united states. as a private university president, the commission of service is different from a public university these community. we have permanent commitments billions of dollars of resources. one of the things in terms of the tax questions is that it's tempting to go after universities. unlike sports teams and industries, we cannot threaten to move and we will threaten to move. our experience is anchored in those communities, but the one thing i would say is if you step back and look at the landscape of higher education, the 4000 institutions of higher education, there are about 401 might call research universities and then there are a more elite group of 200 of really powerful research universities. if you look at this industry and compare it to others, we are the most fractious and competitive industry and we often don't get credit for the fact that we're so intensely competitive. but there is also an element that is irrational in the way we are organized. i agree with my colleagues that we are not inclined to establish branches. one of the things you will see happen over the next decade is an acc
