Bound for Harvard
5/16/2012
Screaming could be heard in the gym during a basketball game on Dec. 15. Although the game continued, spectators grew quiet, wondering who was screaming and why.
The news spread like fire: Nazow Tarakai had been accepted into Harvard College. She and her friends were screaming with excitement because Nazow had just found out by checking her email on the school’s computer.
By halftime, when Nazow’s acceptance was announced over the public address system, most people in the building already knew.

Two long-time CMU professors retire
5/16/2012
When the academic year came to an end at Central Methodist University earlier this month, so did the careers of a pair of distinguished educators upon the retirements of Drs. Dana “Dan” Elliott and Linda Lembke. With their departures, CMU lost over 70 years of service to the institution. Both Lembke and Elliott were granted faculty emeriti status by the University’s Board of Trustees, a fitting recognition for their exemplary work, noted President Marianne Inman. “The strength of Central’s academic program is a direct reflection of our most capable and committed faculty members,” noted CMU President Marianne Inman. “Both Drs. Elliott and Lembke have influenced countless numbers of students through the years. CMU is the richer for their devotion to learning and teaching.”

Well, almost everyone.

Yung inks with Runnin’ Eagles
5/16/2012
For Dillon Yung, picking a college was difficult for two reasons.
First, and perhaps the more obvious question, was where would he choose to go to college? And second, what sport would he play?
On Thursday, he finally settled both decisions by signing a Letter of Intent to play for the Central Methodist University men’s basketball team next season, just down the highway from Glasgow.
