While it was important and informative to know of the appointment of John Capone as our new vice-president (research) (John Capone named VP, June 5), to not give any coverage of the countless people who came out to see the astronomical event of the Venus transit hosted by the Physics & Astronomy Department on Tuesday, June 5 in the Daily News Service seems a gross misrepresentation of the mandate given to Western News.
I’m curious why there has been zero mention of this since then (or maybe it’s just that I have to wait for a The Way We Were article to appear sometime in the next 40 years).
