Fuel cell car races in 1,600 mile solar race
Although it is not a solar powered vehicle, the new UND hydrogen fuel cell car, SubZero3, was allowed to run in the 1,600-mile, Austin, Texas to Calgary, Alberta 2005 North American Solar Challenge, albeit in last place running order, reports the Grand Forks Herald.

Original news summary: (http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/news/12152969.htm)
- The race is designed for solar cars.
- Since UND's runs on a hydrogen fuel cell, it's been allowed to run in the contest as a "demonstration" and will be last in the running order.
- Each car will leave Austin today in one-minute intervals based on a qualifying order set at a prior race in Kansas City.
- The UND students from the Society for Energy Alternatives, representing varying degree programs, used to build and race solar cars, but recently they switched to hydrogen fuel cell technology, an alternative energy they felt was more challenging and held more promise for the future of transportation.
- Sandra Donaldson, with UND's English Department, has been awarded $130,000 by the NEH to create a five-volume scholarly edition of poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning's work.
- Online, or distance learning, enrollment at the University of Minnesota-Crookston has grown more than 60 percent in the past four years, says Michelle Christopherson, UMC's Center for Adult Learning director.
- UMC has also grown from offering just a handful of online courses each semester to offering nearly 35 courses and the first online bachelor's degree in the University of Minnesota system.
- The school has seen a large number of non-traditional students taking advantage of the flexibility and convenience of online learning.
- "Nearly 70 percent of our online learners are women," Christopherson said, "and many of them are returning to school to finish a degree after taking a break from their education to have a family and start their careers."
- UMC played host to more than 120 high school juniors and seniors and about 40 staff members from Minnesota, North Dakota, western Ontario and northwestern Wisconsin last week in the Rotary Youth Leadership Award.
- Camp RYLA provides student leaders and potential leaders an opportunity to expand and develop their skills.
