Earth Sciences Field Trip Provides Students with Solid Lessons
Six faculty members from the Earth Sciences and Science Education Department took 18 majors on a departmental field trip in early October.

Rogovin Is Focus of Events Celebrating His Life and Career
The date was October 3, 1957, and Milton Rogovin, a Buffalo optometrist, World War II veteran, and social-justice advocate, was being grilled by the House Un-American Activities Committee.
