Corrections 1/29/02

Emerson Elementary School in Cairo, Ill., was built during the 1966 school year. Bennett Elementary was built in 1948 and Cairo Junior High School was built in 1949. The ages of the schools were incorrect in stories in the Jan. 17 and 25 editions and in an editorial Saturday.

The number of full-time faculty at Southeast Missouri State University dropped from 425 to 388 over a 10-year period from 1990 to 2000, a decrease of 8.71 percent. A story in Sunday's Southeast Missourian carried the wrong numbers, but the correct percentage decline.

The Southeast Missourian regrets the errors.
