Frank E. South, professor emeritus of biological sciences, was noted in the June 6 U.S. News & World Report cover story about President Ronald Reagan. The story discusses Reagan’s 1984 D-Day anniversary speech at Pointe du Hoc in Normandy and cites South as a veteran of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, which scaled massive cliffs to knock out German gun emplacements.

Charles Elson, Edgar S. Woolard Jr. Chair and director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance, was quoted in a June 2 Associated Press story about the resignation of William Donaldson as chairperson of the Securities and Exchange Commission. "He's had a huge impact, and that's not going to change anytime soon," Elson told the AP. "Whenever you have reforms, there's always going to be some push back. But, nobody has questioned those core principles. Those will remain intact." Elson also discussed the resignation on National Public Radio’s June 2 Morning Edition program.

Daniel J. Freeman, assistant professor of business administration, was quoted in a June 2 United Press International story about the success of online retailers. He told UPI that online shopping is “here to stay, no matter what sector.”
