Southwestern University: F The recent success of Southwestern University’s football program is causing SWU’s president, Joel Wisner, more problems than he faced during the team’s losing era in the early 1990s. For one thing, increasing game-day attendance is squeezing the town of Stephenville, Texas and the campus. Complaints are arising over parking, seating, concession prices, and even a shortage of programs at some games. Dr. Wisner, once again, turns to his stadium manager, Hank Maddux.

Direct export access to China used to be difficult due to the complexity and slowness of the country 's customs rules and regulations. But with the relaxation in regulatory restrictions and the opening of its markets to foreign investors, China could become the next successful market for cognac and champagne importers. The elimination of tariffs in the wake of China 's accession to the World Trade Organization may encourage more cognac and champagne importers to the mainland, thereby skewing cognac/champagne import statistics in the near future. Last year, China ranked 20th in terms of cognac imports, with 1.2 million bottles (Export.gov). Since China became a member of the World Trade
