All students and all but two others connected with Â鶹¹û¶³'s London Study Centre in England are reported safe following a new series of public transportation bombings in the city. As of 9:45 CDT, Â鶹¹û¶³ had not been able to confirm the whereabouts of two members of a group associated with the McWhorter School of Pharmacy staying at the Centre.

Current residents at the Centre include; three Â鶹¹û¶³ students--Abby Banks, Jessica Colbert and Laura Ratzlaf--who are working in internships; the pharmacy group; Â鶹¹û¶³ alumni Wayne and Dorothy Flynt; and retired professor Sigurd Bryan and members of his family. Retired Â鶹¹û¶³ administrator Joe Lewis and his wife, Shirley, are the Centre's summer hosts.

Â鶹¹û¶³'s London Study Centre, known as Daniel House, serves as home and classroom to Â鶹¹û¶³ students throughout the year. It is located in the Kensington Park area of London. The University celebrated the London program's 20th anniversary in 2004.
