Corrections

Reports across the country claimed that the Y2K bug was all but nonexistent. Well, here at fyi we’re running our largest list of corrections ever, and we know that there is only one possible reason—the Y2K bug chose to vent its entire fury on the Jan. 4 issue of this publication. While that was good news for airlines, patients on operating tables, and anyone living in or near Montana, it was hard on the fyi staff, who pride themselves on getting it right. While we regret these many errors, we’re relieved that we have something to blame other than ourselves—and we also think this is the last time we’ll ever be able to use this excuse.

In "Emergencies on campus: Who to call if something goes wrong," the number to call was incorrectly listed as 9-911. The number to call to report campus emergency situations is 911.
The software program in use by the child in the photo on page 2 was incorrectly identified as its predecessor, Foundations in Reading. The program is Breakthrough to Literacy. The software was being used at the Breakthrough to Literacy, Inc. building dedication.
In "Exploring American studies abroad: Desmond named 2000 Global Scholar," Jane Desmond was incorrectly identified as being the fourth UI scholar to receive the award. She is the sixth. Also, the program was initiated in 1995 and the first award was made in 1995 for the 1996-97 year.
In the publications and creations section, several authors were incorrectly listed in the College of Liberal Arts. L. Margolin should have been listed under the College of Education, and L.B. Sutherland, A.F. Russo, D.L. Segaloff, J.L. Urbanowski, and R.C. Piper should have been listed under the College of Medicine.
