I admire your work and believe your help has kept this board alive.  Therefore, here is your Christmas present.

The Economic Development program was split with Masters going to Science and Tech because in the Trent Lott agreement, the department housing ED will have total control of the Trent Lott building.  Science and Tech cared nothing about the bogus ID Phd. so they sent it to the coast.   Get Noel Polk or someone like him to verify this with Bobby Chain if you need to.  Also, Trent Lott had to allocate 1Million to the Commercialization and Industrialization Project for SFT and Angie at the old golf course before SFT would find the money to sign the contract to begin the Trent Lott center.  Also, Thad Cochran allocated 1 Million to MSU instead of USM for Economic Development this funding year. Makes you wonder how close SFT really is the Thad Cochran.

Happy New Year!
