Technology's Homework Hotline, a toll-free telephone tutoring service which
helps Indiana middle school and high school students understand mathematics
and science. Rose-Hulman student tutors set a record on Tuesday, Oct. 6,
when 507 calls were answered -- beating the previous record of 455 calls on
Oct. 10, 2006.
