Lamar University officials announced on Tuesday that they hoped to reopen their hurricane-ravaged main campus in Beaumont, Tex., on October 17, along with three branch campuses that were damaged less severely. Classes are scheduled to resume on October 19.

At McNeese State University, a Louisiana institution damaged by Hurricane Rita, officials are also hoping to reopen by the third week of October, but have not set a date. The campus, in Lake Charles, La., was still without power on Tuesday."
