By Brian Everstine Daily Evergreen staff Many people in the WSU Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering have connections to Virginia Tech J. Daniel Dolan spent many years teaching at the same wing of the same building where 30 people were killed Monday morning. He came to WSU in 2002 as a professor of civil and environmental engineering, after more than a dozen years at Virginia Tech. Even after crossing the country about five years ago, he still feels a connection to the Virginia institution. He first heard the news reports of shootings in his former building at about 9:30 a.m., and was still hoping to get in touch with friends and past colleagues at about 2:15 p.m. For hours after the shooting ALAN KIN/ASSOCIATED PRESS occurred, he wondered how tragedies like Injured occupants are carried out of Norris Hall on Monday at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va. A gunman opened fire this could happen. in a dorm and classroom, killing at least 32 people.

The accused gunman, William Morva, faces capi- tal murder charges. Among Monday’s dead was Ryan Clark, a student from Martinez, Ga., with several majors who carried a 4.0 grade- point average, said Vernon Collins, coroner in Columbia County, Ga. At a hastily arranged service Monday night at Blacksburg Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Susan Verbrugge gazed out at about 150 bowed heads. After the service, Clark’s friend Gregory Walton, a 25- year-old who graduated last year, said he feared his night- mare had just begun. “I knew when the number was so large that I would know at least one person on that list,” said Walton, a banquet manager. “I don’t want to look at that list.

The Foley Institute, in collaboration with ASWSU, Comparative Ethnic Studies, International Programs, the Office of Equity and Diversity, and the Provost’s Office, presents a Public Forum:

"The Socio-Economic Realities of Immigration – Past and Present"

What do you know about immigration to the United States?

Are you ‘sitting on the fence’ about this issue?

Guest visas, a physical wall, or open borders – is there a good way to deal with immigration?

You are invited to an open forum to find out more.

Guest experts Bill Ong Hing and Hans Johnson will discuss demographic, legal and economic issues around the subject of immigration, to be followed by a question and answer session. Wednesday April 18, 2007 3:30-5pm CUE 203
