IN THIS ISSUE:

RESEARCH NEWS:
* Eastern chipmunks (Tamias striatus) have upset the apple cart of 
assumptions on glacier-driven population migrations. Based on a 
mitochondrial DNA analysis of 244 chipmunks, it seems the majority 
of them living in Illinois and Wisconsin today descend from ancestors 
who survived the last North American ice age in what researchers 
believe were isolated pockets of forestland amid the cold tundra.

CAMPUS NEWS:

(July 15). Check our Web site tomorrow for a report on what 
happened: http://www.news.uiuc.edu/ii/0715/trustees.html.

Design at Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, Mich., has
