Craig studies abroad in Rome WITH THIS RING...

This course was a travel course and took her and her classmates to Italy, where she indeed saw two of Galileo's fingers and a tooth on display in the Galileo Sci- ence Museum. "The museum had all ileo's fingers? How about a tooth?

Nineteen students, plus we had to go through Bolo- gna, so there were some de- lays, but we were fine." While in Venice, the group of students "acciden- tally happened upon" the most crowded day of the year. "We saw the takeoff of two professors, spent sev- en days in Rome, 10 days in Florence and three days in Venice, from May 3 to May 24. Hanover students often use the month of May for study abroad opportunities if they don't want to be gone for an entire semester.

"I saw the Pope from about 20 feet away. It was great." They also visited the "We went inside the Vat- beach at Monterosso, which Craig said was, along with visiting the Vatican, one of her favorite experiences from the trip. The class faced a small hiccup during their adven- tures: an earthquake caused some train delays. "We were in Florence for the earthquake, and the earthquake was in Bolo- gna," said Craig. "We were going to Venice that day, and show on the campus chan- nel at Hanover called Stu- dent Spotlight. Each month, she interviews presidents of clubs, students who have gone on mission trips and other interesting students. Craig enjoys it, even though the campus channel only airs on campus and about 20 miles outside of it. "I'll probably work in for the summer, she is working two internships in Evansville: one with the Mesker Park Zoo and one with the Ronald McDonald House. Both are in public relations, which is what she hopes to have a career in af- ter she graduates. Craig has a television the America's Cup Sailboat Races," said Craig. "We had to follow after that, but we didn't know where the boats were going." Now that Craig is home public relations, but I'm go- ing to wait and see what's open," said Craig. "I've done some reporting on campus, so maybe I'll do something with that." Pike Lodge #121 awards four scholarships & Accepted Masons are awarding four local students a $1,300 Masonic Schol- arship, by the Scholarship Board of the Grand Lodge of Indiana, Free and Accept- ed Masons. Winners are Nolan D. Pike Lodge #121 Free Hargus, son of Jerry and Nan Hargus. He will be a senior at Purdue Universi- ty; Lindsay N. Boger, daugh- ter of Donnie and Mary Bo- ger. She is a senior at the University of Southern In- diana; Allen C. Clements, son of Charles and Jenny Clements, a sophomore at Indiana University; Shawn P. Boger, son of Donnie and Mary Boger, a sophomore at the University of Southern Indiana. The Grand Lodge of In- diana Scholarship Board distributes earnings from an endowment, making it one of the largest Frater- nal Scholarship Funds in the country. In the years of its operation more than $6 million in scholarship have helped more than 6,000 Hoosier students realize their education goals. Children, stepchildren, or grandchildren of master Masons, who demonstrate academic merit, financial need, and community par- ticipation, may apply for scholarships if they are at- tending an Indiana college or university. These area students were 4 of 293 selected, statewide, from almost 400 applicants. They were sponsored by their fathers who are mem- bers of Pike Lodge #121. Energy-dense biofuel from cellulose close to being economical By Brian Wallheimer developed process for creat- ing biofuels has shown po- tential to be cost-effective for production scale, open- ing the door for moving be- yond the laboratory setting. A Purdue economic analy- A new Purdue University- biomass, such as switch- grass or corn stover, is heat- ed rapidly to about 500 de- grees Celcius in the pres- sis shows that the cost of the thermo-chemical H2Bioil method is competitive when crude oil is about $100 per barrel when using certain energy methods to create hydrogen needed for the process. If a federal carbon tax were implemented, the biofuel would become even more economical. H2Bioil is created when was created in the lab of Rakesh Agrawal, Purdue's Winthrop E. Stone Distin- guished Professor of Chem- ical Engineering. He said H2Bioil has significant ad- vantages over traditional standalone methods used to create fuels from biomass. "The process is quite fast ence of pressurized hydro- gen. Resulting gases are passed over catalysts, caus- ing reactions that separate oxygen from carbon mole- cules, making the carbon molecules high in energy content, similar to gasoline molecules. The conversion process and converts entire biomass to liquid fuel," Agrawal said. "As a result, the yields are substantially higher. Once the process is fully devel- Dr. Kreilein joins hospital staff Norma J. Kreilein, Jasper Pediatrician, has joined the staff at Daviess Community Hospital and is moving her office to the Grand Avenue Pediatrics Clinic in Wash- ington. Dr. Kreilein is a Board oped, due to the use of ex- ternal hydrogen, the yield is expected to be two to three times that of the current competing technologies." The economic analysis, published in the June issue of Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery, shows that the energy source used to cre- ate hydrogen for the process makes all the difference when determining wheth- er the biofuel is cost-effec- tive. Hydrogen processed using natural gas or coal makes the H2Bioil cost-ef- fective when crude oil is just over $100 per barrel. But hydrogen derived from other, more expensive, en- ergy sources - nuclear, wind or solar - drive up the break- even point.

She completed both her internship and res- idency at Los Angeles Coun- ty/USC Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. As a pediatrician, Dr. Kreilein said Wally Tyner, Purdue's James and Lois Ackerman Professor of Agricultural Economics. "In the past, I have said that for biofuels to be competitive, crude prices would need to be at about $120 per barrel. This process looks like it could be competitive when crude is even a little cheaper than that." Agrawal said he and col- serve their 60th wedding anniversary on June 14.

The method's initial implemen- tation has worked on a lab- oratory scale and is being refined so it would become effective on a commercial scale. "This economic analysis assumed that corn stover, switchgrass and miscan- thus would be the prima- ry feedstocks. The analy- sis also found that if a fed- eral carbon tax were intro- duced, driving up the cost of coal and natural gas, more expensive methods for pro- ducing hydrogen would be- come competitive. "If we had a carbon tax shows us that the process is viable on a commercial scale," Agrawal said. "We can now go back to the lab and focus on refining and improving the process with confidence." The model Tyner used in the future, the break- even prices would be com- petitive even for nuclear," Tyner said. "Wind and so- lar, not yet, but maybe down the road."
