They don’t make them like that anymore and there’s so few of them still alive.” Carol Channing is scheduled to perform at 7 p.m. tonight in the Morris Dailey auditorium. Tickets are $10 for students and are available at the Event Center.

The SJSU Study Abroad program offers students the chance to not only obtain an academic education, but “an amazing adventure,” said Dave Rudel, the program’s coordinator. That is exactly what three SJSU students say they experienced during their stay overseas.
