Kids go ape over UW-Green Bay, Phuture Phoenix day

Phuture Phoenix day was a huge success. The 550 young students made great friends with their 100 or more college-age guides. If words don't do it justice, sensational images come close. Check out the photo gallery at http://www.uwgb.edu/univcomm/news/page/photo.htm.

Institution's primate is swamped by autograph seekers

If you want to get a smile out of Chancellor Bruce Shepard this week, ask him for his autograph. He was besieged by signature seekers (maybe 50, all told) at Tuesday's Phuture Phoenix day. The run probably started with Phoenix basketball players signing for the fifth-graders; the celebrity status carried over to the man who was described to the kids as the University's "big principal."

Why did the panicked monkey bolt from the tavern? He heard the person next to him ask for a bag of candy. Rhesus pieces.
