WSU TODAY Many When She Says, “I Don’T Study at and Engineering Is the Second Largest NEWSPAPER OF WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY • FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2002 EMINENT FACULTY AWARD ○ ○ ○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Dillman nabs top faculty prize BY TIM MARSH UNIVERSITY RELATIONS Don A. Dillman, Washington State University social scientist and internationally known statistical survey expert, has been named the recipient of the 2002 Eminent Faculty Award, the university’s top faculty honor. “Don Dillman epitomizes the WSU motto, ‘World Class. Face to Face.’” said WSU President V. Lane Rawlins. “The strength of our university is reflected in his excellence,” Rawlins said. One of Dillman’s nominators noted, “No other social scientist has been as influential in develop- ing the scientific basis for survey research methodology over the last 25 years.” Dillman and five other faculty award winners will be saluted during the annual WSU Faculty Honors Convocation, set for 3 p.m. Thursday, April 4, in Bryan Hall Auditorium. Dillman is the second faculty member to receive the award, created last year by Rawlins. Virginia Steel, director of libraries, enjoys challenge posed by traditional and electronic library.

  • Washington Huskies Vs. Washington State Cougars: Will the Apple Cup Runneth Over?
    Washington Huskies vs. Washington State Cougars: Will The Apple Cup Runneth Over? Author : Robert D. Cobb Despite living in the heart of Big 10 country, I have always been drawn to the Apple Cup rivalry game between PAC-12 in-state rivals Washington and Washington State. U-Dub vs Wazzu. Big-city Starbucks-drinking Seattle vs. out-of-the-way country bumpkin Pullman. The Apple Cup is more than just dogs vs. cats, as in Huskies vs. Cougars, but perhaps one of the most underrated rivalry games in the country. If you make not have heard of it before, you will become very familiar with it by the end of the afternoon, as this is THE Apple Cup rivalry game to end all. In terms of West Coast rivalry games, the Apple Cup lacks the glitz and glamour of USC vs. Notre Dame and UCLA, the elitist and liberal academia battle of intellectualism as Cal and Stanford, the pure and open hatred that is the “Civil War” in neighboring Oregon between Oregon and Oregon State, or the bitter and nasty grudge match in the Southwest known as the Territorial Cup between Arizona and Arizona State. In a series that started back in 1900 with a 5-5 tie, and that the Huskies have dominated in holding a 70-32-8 lead, including last season’s 45-10 rout in Seattle, can the Cougars return the favor this year in Pullman? With a trip to the Pac-12 title game on the line and in-state bragging rights from Walla Walla to Spokane on the line, sixth-ranked Washington rolls into Pullman on the heels of a 44-18 romp of Arizona State.
