Stewart

Two chapters
co-authored by Dr. Patrick Stewart and Dr. Will McLean,

recently. “Knowledge of the Homeland Security Advisory
System: Inattention in the Heartland” and “Agricultural BioTerrorism:
Dimensions of Fear and Public Perception” were published in

second deals with Mid-South respondents’ perceptions of threats from
agri bioterrorism. The papers were co-authored with, respectively,
graduate students Matthew Huckaby and Lucas Duffner.
Residence Halls ready for Operation

 With the
new 836-bed residence hall ready to be occupied, the staff of
Residence Life is getting ready for a huge increase in campus

But this is only
Wednesday, you say?
Alert
readers of Inside ASU will wonder, why is Thursday's edition out a
day early? Answer: this is not the Thursday edition;
it's the new Wednesday edition. Effective immediately, we are
boosting publication frequency to three times weekly, on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. We are finding more and more good news
to tell, and we want to get it to the campus community in a more timely fashion. Tell
us what you think . . . our addresses are at the bottom of the column
at left.
