students: Pitt County, ECU, Greenville, Local Economy - How It's Going
- 10/13/08 08:24 AM
Pitt County's government and business leaders have long said the community is recession proof given the continuing growth of East Carolina University and University Health Systems. Wanda Yuhas, director of Pitt County's Development Commission, is no longer making that claim. With a diverse manufacturing base, the university and area hospital, the conventional thinking has always been if there is trouble in one business area, others will be steady. "Six months ago we would have said we were virtually recession-proof," she said, "In our current economic climate we may not, be able to say that with confidence." Yuhas said hospital officials have … (0 comments)

- 08/19/08 06:54 AM
College presidents from about 100 of the nation's best-known universities, including Duke, East Carolina University, Dartmouth and Ohio State, are calling on lawmakers to consider lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18, saying current laws actually encourage dangerous binge drinking on campus. The movement called the Amethyst Initiative began quietly recruiting presidents more than a year ago to provoke national debate about the drinking age. "This is a law that is routinely evaded," said John McCardell, former president of Middlebury College in Vermont who started the organization. "It is a law that the people at whom it is directed believe … (0 comments)
