By Julie Hofler | November 29, 2001

Trailing Tiger Sometimes dreams really do come true. Or at least they did for fourth-year College student Huan Tran, who leaves for Las Vegas today to participate in the Tiger Woods Fantasy Golf Camp, led by the golfing phenomenon himself. "I'm obsessed with golf and I love Tiger," Tran said excitedly, explaining that he has followed Woods' career since he won his first amateur tournament. Last February while watching the Buick Invitational on television, Tran noticed an advertisement for a contest sponsored by the company. "You had to guess Tiger's third and fourth round scores for the weekend," Tran said.

High Stakes

By Julie Hofler | November 29, 2001

Last April, third-year College student Abigail Burroughs said she had one wish. After battling squamous cell head and neck cancer for more than a year, she desperately wanted to be able to keep the apartment lease she had signed with two of her friends for the University's 2001-2002 school year. But on June 9, after a long and frustrating fight not only with cancer but with pharmaceutical companies that refused to provide her with experimental or compassionate use treatments, Burroughs succumbed to the disease. "She lived right up until the minute she died," said Abigail's mother Kathleen Dunn of her daughter's relentless optimism and strength. Tonight starting at 9 p.m., Burroughs and her battle for life will be remembered at a Casino Night fund-raising event held by Theta Delta Chi fraternity and Pi Beta Phi sorority at Fiji.
