Distance from Home a Concern at Preuss
San Diego Union-Tribune, June 9-Every
year hundreds of parents cross their fingers and send applications
in the hope that their children may attend The Preuss School,
a rigorous, college-preparatory charter school for 750 students
in grades 6 through 12 on the University of California,
San Diego campus. But if there is a drawback to
attending Preuss, it's the distance from home. Students travel
from as far away as San Ysidro and Spring Valley to attend the
school. And in times of crisis, such as yesterday's Preuss School
bus accident, the miles between children and their families
can make for trying moments.

Scientology
Link to Public Schools
San Francisco Chronicle, June 9-A
popular anti-drug program provided free to schools in San Francisco
and elsewhere teaches concepts straight out of the Church of
Scientology, including medical theories that some addiction
experts described as "irresponsible" and "pseudoscience."
As a result, students are being introduced to some beliefs and
methods of Scientology without their knowledge. (Quote by Igor
Grant M.D., a professor of psychiatry and director
of the Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research at UC
San Diego.)

Stem-Cell
Research Among Areas Where Bush is Weak on Science
Copley News Service, June 8-Larry
Goldstein has a theory - one that might someday lead
to new drugs for Alzheimer's victims. The University
of California at San Diego scientist has tested his
theory on fruit flies. He's tested it on mice. Now, he needs
to test it on human brain cells. But White House policies that
limit stem-cell research have turned Goldstein
into what he calls "an accountant and a lawyer" -
requiring him to create a convoluted accounting system and a
privately funded lab to ensure he does not use federal money
for his studies. Scientists from around the nation say Bush's
stand on embryonic stem cells is perhaps the best illustration
of White House policies they claim may hinder medical breakthroughs
in this country and cost the nation its status as the world's
leader in scientific advancement.

UNC Board
of Governors Panel Wants Big Pay Raises for Execs
Charlotte Observer, June 9-A University
of North Carolina Board of Governors panel is recommending that
the state give University of North Carolina president Molly
Broad and five system chancellors salary raises ranging from
$10,000 to nearly $60,000. The board's personnel and tenure
committee on Monday endorsed paying the UNC system executives
salaries that keep them among the top 75 percent of colleagues
at comparable institutions nationwide. Current NCSU chancellor
Marye Anne Fox is leaving in August for the
University of California, San Diego and a $350,000
salary. She now makes $248,225.
