Harbaugh on fire with optimism
STANFORD Into the crowded room he marched, wearing a dark suit and a megawatt grin, bathing in applause. He stopped to acknowledge the legend, then spent the next hour unleashing the gale-force fury of his presence. "I vow I will attack this endeavor with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind," Jim Harbaugh thundered Tuesday upon being introduced as Stanford's new football coach. Harbaugh also said he intends to hire the best staff in America. He also promises "a tempo that will be lethal." He also believes he can make Stanford a "conduit to the NFL." "We expect to win multiple conference championships," Harbaugh added. Wow! One has to believe if "Hurricane" Harbaugh can coach the game as well as he talks it and sells himself, he will put Stanford football back on the map of Teams That Matter.

Adeyooye Scholarship Endowed
A scholarship honoring Olamide E. Adeyooye has been endowed thanks to more than $22,000 in donations to the Illinois State University Student Foundation (ISUSF). The scholarship honors Adeyooye, an Illinois State student who was abducted and slain in October 2005. Fundraising efforts for the Olamide E. Adeyooye Scholarship began late in 2005. The fund has grown steadily thanks to donations from students, faculty and community members and through events such as the Play for Olamide Bean Bags Tournament in September 2006 and the Olamide Benefit Concert earlier this month. The first scholarship will be awarded in 2007 during Illinois States 150th Celebration. The Student Foundation is very excited to have the Olamide E. Adeyooye Memorial Scholarship endowed, said Student Foundation President Chandler Vandenberg.
