| • Some of the first scientific lake studies conducted anywhere in the world were done in Indiana. IU established a field station on Lake Wawasee in 1895 and a pioneering study of Lake Maxinkuckee’s physical and biological characteristics, published in 1920, still serves as a model of how lakes have been studied elsewhere.

Buses leave the IMU bus shelter beginning at 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and leave every 15 minutes through 2:45 a.m. Are mid-terms on the horizon? The weekend record was set Sept. 26-28, with 925 passengers. For north and south Midnight Special route maps: • Sixty-four years ago Halloween night, the Martians landed in New Jersey! One hundred four years ago, the Martians landed in England! While actor Tom Cruise’s film of War of the Worlds will not start production until next year, Home Pages would like you to relive those sci-fi glory days at this HP archival site: http://www.iuinfo.indiana.edu/HomePages/103098/default.htm
