“Unfortunately in a time like
this, the FBI has a responsibility
to keep a watch on the names
that are on that list,” Wiatt said.
“I don't know why the name was
not caught before the plane took
off. I don’t know how those
names are checked — probably
by a computer.”

off.”
He said the cancellation had
nothing to do with the Rowan
debacle. An investigation by
University officials examined
allegations of alcohol abuse,
inappropriate sexual advances
and illegal drug use by Rowan.
The findings have not been
made public. Rowan acknowl
edged drinking too much, but

Kristi Zipp, a senior mar

the London trip in March
2000 and said she enjoyed
the experience.
“I met so many cool peo

seeing a different culture and
networking with fellow and
old Ags. You're having a blast
walking around seeing things
that have been there lor hun

boggling.”
Fitzhugh said the trip's
hiatus is temporary.
“The trip has been a won

life, and I certainly expect it to
continue,” Fitzhugh said.
