"UB Today" Cable Tv Show Sets February Schedule

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A mind-expanding wall mural that resembles a cartoon equivalent of a blockbuster movie and carbon nanotube research that could contribute to more affordable wall-hung television screens are two of the features that will air in February on "UB Today," the University at Buffalo's cable-television program.

Featured in the February lineup will be Budd Termin, men's swim coach, on the UB swim program; Charles Trzcinka, professor of finance and managerial economics, discussing various investment books; Al Harris, Center for the Arts gallery director, on Mark Dean Veca's three-story mural "El Gloominator," and Jui H. Wang, Einstein Professor of Science, and Zhifang Ren, research associate professor of physics and chemistry, discussing their nanotube research.
