CORVALLIS - A special course called "The Enron Implosion," offered this spring term at Oregon State University, is being moved to Milam Auditorium because of the substantial interest it has generated among students and the public.

Coordinated by OSU business professor John "Jack" Drexler, the course will bring to campus accountants, business managers, journalists and academic experts from the Pacific Northwest and around the country to discuss the startling collapse last year of the Enron Corp.

The course will be held Monday nights from 6 to 7:30 p.m. beginning April 8. The public may attend the lectures and sessions for free. Originally scheduled for Gilfillan Auditorium, the course is being moved to the larger Milam Auditorium to accommodate more students and members of the public.

The OSU course, sponsored by the College of Business and supported by other campus organizations, will run for seven weeks. Drexler said the course will be a forum for analyzing and understanding the events that led up to the Enron collapse, and the effects that continue to unfold.
