On this day in Chicago history, 21 people died and dozens were injured in a stampede at the dangerously crowded “E2” nightclub. The stampede was triggered by a fistfight and the use of pepper spray inside the cramped club. Among the deceased was a former Columbia student, 24-year-old DeShand Ray.
This week in 2002, The Chronicle
reported that Columbia purchased a million-dollar-plus software system that would provide students access to class registration, admissions and financial aid. The Jenzabar software system, which included a student portal, would be rolled out in fall 2003.

» Hollywood child star Shirley Temple, who cheered film audiences during the Great Depression, died of natural causes Feb. 10 in her California home, according to a Feb. 11 CNN report. Temple later became a diplomat as Shirley Temple Black in her later life after retiring from acting at 22 years old in 1950 and marrying oceanographer Charles Black. Temple was 85.
» Nearly 300,000 residents of Iraq’s western province of Anbar were displaced because of fighting between security forces and Sunni militants, according to a Feb. 12 BBC report. This is the highest number of displaced residents because of the violence since 2008, and the report stated there are currently 1.1 million internally displaced people who have been affected by the violence since 2003.
» Eight cars on display in the Sky Dome at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky., were swallowed by a sinkhole Feb. 12, according to a same-day CNN report. The sinkhole was reported to be 40 feet wide and nearly 30 feet deep. The total cost of the damage to the iconic vehicles has not yet been determined but is substantial, according to the museum director.

» Belgian lawmakers debated Feb. 12 about whether to grant terminally ill minors the right to ask to die. On Feb. 14, the bill passed overwhelmingly with an 88 to 44 vote. Legislators have clashed over the bill, questioning its medical rationale. The euthanasia bill stipulates that children must obtain approval from their parents prior to being granted the right to die.
