BOISE —Boise State University will,'get $9.4 million and the University. of Idaho will ie- cieve $7 million this year as part of more than $20 million Congress has approved for the state, according to a report by the Chronicle of Higher Education. The money, made available through earmarks, will be used to try to develop a West Nile virus vaccine, design computer memory that can func- tion in outer space, and to share science on man- aging wil dfires, the Idaho Statesman reported. Also getting money are Idaho State Univer- sity at $2 million, College of Southern Idaho at $709,155, College of Idaho at $286,899, Eastern Idaho TechnicaI College at $95+05, Lewis-Clark State College at $337,000 and Northwest Naza- rene at $430@48. Besides the $20 million going directly to schools for specific projects, another $10 mil- lion will be shared by Idaho schools and other groups across the country. Released Monday, the report showed this fiscal year's federal spending on collegiate ear- marks nationally reached a record high of $2.25 billion, representing nearly 900 projects, four times as many awards than were given in 1998. Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, who is retiring at the end of the year, sponsored 25 Idaho higher education earmarks last .year. Craig serves on the Senate Appropriations Committee, and some :.r 't '" Idaho school officia1s're ~oncqrn @e state r, get"as mijht npt much money ' 'r hav'e to ea'm our itive'WAviii "frftli'5 stature Sen.
