According to the report, Eastern’s greatest strengths, in addition to overall academic reputa- tion, are its average graduation rate of 66 percent, a freshman-to-sophomore retention rate of 81 per- cent and full-time faculty retention rate of 96 per- cent. These are all impressive numbers for a univer- sity of Eastern’s size, and consecutive rankings in a ranking such as this only serves as vindication to the apparent quality of an Eastern education.

Categories of Information which Eastern Illinois University Has Designated as Directory Information: Under the Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, Eastern Illinois University is required to give public notice of the categories of student information which it has designated as directory informa- tion. Those categories are published below.

To request that any or all of the directory information concerning him/her should not be released without prior approval, a student should appear in person prior to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, September 12, 2003, at the Records Office, 1220 Old Main, and make the request in writing on forms provided by the University. Student identification is required at the time of the request.

Directory Information Eastern Illinois University 2003

GENERAL DIRECTORY INFORMATION

Name, Home Address, Home Telephone Number, Local Address, Local Telephone Number, Dates of Attendance, Degree(s) earned, Major(s), Photographs for internal university use including the University Police Department.

Students who obtain a personal electronic mail account through the University should be aware that their name, student status, and e-mail "address" cannot be withheld from internet access.

PRIVACY ACT RIGHTS

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. They are: (1) The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the University received a request for access. Students should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department or other appropriate official, written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. (2) The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the University to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. (Grade appeals are administered under separate University policy.) If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the requests for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing. (3) The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without con- sent. One exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interest. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, National Student Loan Clearinghouse, Credentials, Inc. or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the University discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. (4) The right to file a com- plaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Eastern Illinois University to comply with the requirement of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that adminis- ters FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office U. S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202-4605

Chronic cokehead NON SEQUITUR BY WILEY MILLER busted again by K9 cops

LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) — Don’t try telling William Allan Repp Jr. that a dog is man’s best friend. He’s been sniffed out four times by the same cop canine. In the latest incident, Repp was arrested Tuesday, accused of leading police on a high-speed chase in a 1980 Corvette, crashing into a tree and fleeing on foot until he was stopped by Reno, a Longview police dog. BOONDOCKS BY AARON MCGRUDER The chase started when Officer Jason Ferriss spotted the car on Pacific Way traveling at 78 mph, according to his radar gun. The posted speed limit is 35 mph. In his report, Ferriss said he turned on his lights, saw the car speed up, then turned on his siren and began pur- suit. He said his speedometer reached 120 mph but the Corvette was pulling away at an estimated 140 mph when it missed a corner, slammed into a tree branch and ripped out some shrubbery before coming to rest. The driver fled on foot as Officer Steve Dennis and Reno responded to assist. Reno tracked Repp approxi- mately 40 yards to a slough and found him hiding under some bushes, police said. Repp was taken to St. John Medical Center for treat- ment of dog bite wounds and injuries sustained in the accident. Officers then took him to the Cowlitz County Jail, where he was booked for investigation of felony eluding, taking a motor vehicle without permission, reckless driving, obstructing an officer, resisting arrest BusiBusiness Heading and third-degree driving with a suspended license. Bail was set at $35,000. Dennis said this is the fourth time Reno has captured Repp after he ran from police. After the last incident, in a Bit South? October 2001, Repp received a five-day jail sentence and a $400 fine for reckless driving and resisting arrest.
