The spring issue of Aurora is arriving in mailboxes. This issue features a look at academic freedom — what it is and what it isn’t (illustrated with cartoons by Jamie Smith, ’98), a discussion about whether Alaska can produce enough food for its population and a profile of faculty member Jerry Lipka, “the man with messy hair.”
