■ The owner of a local private career college stripped of its eligibility for federal student aid programs said Friday schools shouldn’t get blamed for something out of their control. “I know that the funds have been abused some, but I think it’s unfair for the schools to be penalized,” said Daniel Bryant, owner of New Tyler Barber College at North Little Rock. “We can’t make the students pay back their loans.”

■ Death row inmate Terrick Terrell Nooner is scheduled to die by lethal injection on Sept. 18, according to a proclamation issued by Gov. Mike Beebe Tuesday, the first execution to be scheduled in his administration. Nooner, 36, was sentenced to death for the March 1993 murder of Scot Stobaugh, a 22-yearold University of Arkansas at Little Rock student. Nooner fatally shot Stobaugh during a robbery at the Funwash, a coin-operated laundry on West Markham Street. Nooner has exhausted his state and federal appeals and didn’t have a formal stay of execution issued by a judge, although his federal civil-rights suit challenging the legality of lethal injection still is pending before the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis.
