Singing Vietnam
Lydia Fish, folklorist and professor of anthropology, made an essential contribution to the forthcoming CD box set, Next Stop Is Vietnam 1961–2008. From her personal archives, Fish contributed recordings of music made, not by the big-name musicians of the Vietnam era, but by the soldiers and civilians who were actually serving in Southeast Asia.

Clay Olympics Turn Artists into Competitors
The artwork created in the basement ceramic studio at Buffalo State College last month wasn’t for keeps. Clay mugs were crushed almost as soon as they were created. Towering coil spires were smashed after they were measured. And creative statues returned to blocks of gray clay, as more than 40 artists from five area high schools—Lewiston-Porter, Kenmore East, Pioneer, Lancaster, and Niagara Falls—competed in the 12th annual “Clay Olympics” in May.
