Kudos and thanks to Geology Professor Henry "Hank" Bart; he happened to be in his office the day the Earthquake devastated Haiti, and got a call from Channel 3 asking if he'd go on air for an interview to discuss Earthquakes. Bart was wearing an old shirt and hadn't shaved in a few days, so before the TV cameras showed up he bought a La Salle shirt and razor from the book store and spruced himself up. Channel 3 was so impressed by his commments that they used them on their noon, 4 and 5 pm broadcasts that day.
The local media will be out in force on Monday to cover MLK events around the city and region. There's much going on at the campus, but whether any press shows up depends on factors beyond our control, including weather and attendance. Some of our students are working on a Habitat for Humanity project not far from campus; the University donated a house to the organization, and it's being repaired for a family to move in, sometime in April. If we don't get coverage on Monday, there are additional work days scheduled, so perhaps then we can generate some media.
