Upheaval at Penn state university.
It's part of all the fallout from the story we told you about yesterday. The school's board of trustees, is making a dramatic changes at some of the highest levels starting with the school's president.

'Effective immediately, Dr. Spanier is no longer the president of the university. In addition, Joe Paterno is no longer the head football coach, effective immediately.'

He has gotten more wins than any other coach in major college football. After the scandal broke, he announced plans to step down at the end of the season. But, many people including the Penn State Board of Trustees didn't think, he did enough to address the scandal of the school. So, they forced him out immediately, along with the state president on wedensday night. Hundreds of students turned out to support him. One rally turned into a riot that you see in the Youtube video.

 

For students in South Korea, there is no messing around senior year. More than 80% of high schol students there go on to college. And it's college entrance exam that determines which universities students will get into. That test was given on Thursday it lasts for 8 hours and the whole country changes its whole schedule for this. You see, underclassmen here are lining up and public pep rally to cheer on seniors taking the test. Stock markets open later, there are more bus, subway routes. Police even gives rides to some students to make sure that they won't be late. 700,000 south korean students took the test on Thursday, and many of those who don't do well will take another year to study for the next test.

 

Another animal has gone extinct in our time. It's Africa's Western Black Rhinoceros. It's subspecies of black rhino which is considered critically endangered, because of poaching, and a lack of places for these animals to live. 
But, some conservationists are doing something about that. They recently moved 19 black rhinos to an area where the scientists think they will have a better shot at surviving. 
How do you move a rhino? Watch this.
They
`re tranquilized to keep them calm ,blindfolded to keep them from getting scared, and then transported by the helicoptor to their new home. 
That might not seem very pleasant for the rhinos, but in many cases, conservationists say there's just no other way to do it.

"This is the kindest way that we have yet discovered of moving a rhino from the field to a vehicle." 

"It's a big operation. It's a lot of animals to try and move in a really short time.

"There are no roads, There's no access whatssoever. You know, most of these
parks are wilderness area"

The animals are taken to a thousands miles away to a place where they'll have more space and less chance of being poached. There are an estimated 4,000 black rhinos left in the world. It's hoped that a new home for these 19 wil make the difference needed to keep these things around.

 

We are wrapping up today's show and Veteran's Day coverage with a story about two brothers. One is an airman who just completed his third and last tour in Afhganistan. The other is a student who'd just completed a speech at his middle school. Our reporter shows us what happened when these two got together.

 

Reporter:
Cody flew into Indy at 11:30. After giving a quick hug to his mom, and it was time to get in the car and head to Greencastle middle school's Veteran's day ceremony. The festivities were moved up a couple of days because Cody was coming. 

"It was madness, we were very secretive, We didn't even tell the teachers until the very last minute."

"All seventh grade students, you may report to the gymnasium at this time."

Students were dismissed while the Anderson family waited outside. He was asked to give a speech about his brother and his service in Afhganistan. During the speech, the rest of the Andersons listened quietly in a nearby locker room. As he was wrapping up, his brother was walking up behind him.

"Veterans day is a great day to remember the people who have fought for this countrym and who are fighting right now. If you are here right now, I'd tell him thanks for serving us and our country"


Cody says it was a lot of work to pull off this one-of-a kind
, his birthday present but it will be something he'll never forget.

"To see
the look on his face was worth everything"

And everything is what our veterants are often put on the line to serve their country. So, we thank them.
