     That's because ISU had no choice. They explained that the - zounami MU - 4/21 23:49:06

                         I'm talking about research in general, but AAU status - zounami MU - 4/22 07:51:48
               It gave Kiesler and the curators a major woodie in the 90s - Genco98 MU - 4/21 21:09:48
