Sonja Rieger. acting chair of the art department, defended the purchase. "The predominant feeling was that there was that there was a real and profound interest in [the photograph]." she said. "The photograph is breaking barriers in terms of transforming meaning in the materials used. Rieger also said the photo is not anti-Christ.

Wash. — Without ever leaving campus, engineering stu¬ dents at Washington State University studied erosion of the Great Sphinx of Giza, the 5,000-year-old Egyptia.ii monument near Cairo. The students came up with ideas to slow down (he deterioration of the world-famous structure. "We all learned there are no easy solutions to problems like this," said Kathcrine Campbell, who headed.the team studying the erosion. To combat the high winds that are blasting the Sphinx with sand and eroding the structure, 10 students in the university's college of engineering and architecture proposed placing four. 16-foot barriers, with interior cham¬ bers to collect sand. • Fekri Hassan, a professor of anthropology and chief project consultant, said the students used wind-tunnel research to study the effects of wind on the ancient structure. \ Med Students Get Free Tuition Philadelphia — A University of Pennsylvania alumnus donated $10 million that will allow 25 medical students to attend school tuition-free. Dr. Daniel H. Johnson Jrjof Boston was concerned about the high debt that causes students to forgo careers in academic medicine or primary care.
