Damage was estimated at about $730,000. Whalley said she would wait until workers salvaged the remaining con tents of her store before deciding if she would reopen. “I’m kind of in a state of shock,” Whalley said. Around lunchtime Monday, James Woolsey pointed at a crowd of suit-clad businessmen staring at his leveled sandwich shop. “That’s some of my customers right there,” Woolsey said. Just last month, Woolsey made the last payment on his business loan. “We get it paid and boom — we have to start over,” Woolsey said. “But that’s the way life is.” A few doors down, E.M. Pack stared at the ruins of his optometry shop. For 15 years Pack had run the shop with his son. He said he plans to relocate. “It’s difficult when it’s where you make a living, as opposed to where you live,” Pack said. “If it’s your house, you can always have some where to sleep.” The merchants mingled in the rubble while investigators waited close at hand. “We were all pretty close,” said Omar Ochoa, an employee at Ca sey’s restaurant, a hamburger shop demolished by the blast. “We all knew each other.” Don Wackwitz, a December graduate in Engi neering Technology, spends time Tuesday playing the piano in the Memorial Student Center lounge to avoid the wet weather.

The course, Management 489, Special Topics in Entrepreneurship, received the award Nov. 12 from the Southern Business Administration Association, a group of business schools in the Southwest primarily represented by deans. Van Fleet teaches the theoretical side, then Williams comes in and tea ches from the practical standpoint of someone who’s really out there, Hitt said. Williams flies in from Midland ev ery other week and talks about his personal experiences with the topics being discussed in the textbook, he the entrepreneurship class have been outstanding. Several of these student responses were submitted as part of the propo sal and he says he is sure they were instrumental in getting the award. One student said, “My enthusiasm is greater than ever.

Judging criteria include innovation in curriculum, course benefits, and adaptability to other schools. Hitt said the course is innovative because it is team-taught by a mem ber of the faculty. Dr. Ella Van Fleet, and by a practicing entrepreneur, Clayton Williams. said. “He doesn’t always talk about his successes,” Hitt said. “He’s a very open person. He talks about his fail ures too. Everything relates to the material being covered in the book by Dr. Van Fleet. So students get the best of both worlds.” Hitt said as a department head, he usually hears the complaints stu dents have about their courses. But he said the course evaluations for no doubt about it.” Another aspiring entrepreneur said, “On the one hand, I have learned there is money waiting to be had, but on the other hand, it can only be had through dedication, dil igence and plain old hard work. ... I feel very enthusiastic because I see that the old adage, ‘Where there is a will, there is a way’ still remains true.” Another student said, “Hearing about all the young entrepreneurs Williams is a self-made aire, Hitt said.
