A new Internet gateway for students that was intended to reduce the confusing mass of information overwhelming students at the beginning of the semester, will not be ready until 1 October, three months later than it was intended to be up and going. The plan is that all students will be able to log themselves into their customized home page, where they will be able to view information about which exams they have registered themselves for, which lectures they are to attend, and other relevant messages from the University.

Human tissue worth approximately NOK 500,000 has disappeared from the Faculty of Medicine in the course of the last five years. According to Professor of Histology Bent Rolstad about one box containing 25 different tissue samples disappears every term. Substantial time and effort goes into preparing the various samples. Although Rolstad estimates their worth at about NOK 40,000 each, they have no re–sale value.
