It's not everyday that you hear about an euphonium recital. Wait, what's a euphonium? It's in the wind brass family and was developed in the 1840s. You might remember it from the lyrics of "Seventy-six Trombones" from the musical, The Music Man.

"There were copper bottom timpani in horse platoons,

Thundering, thundering, all along the way.

Double bell euphoniums and big bassoons,

Each bassoon having its big fat say."

You can have a chance to hear the instrument next week when WSU's new instructor of Tuba and Euphonium, Chris Dickey will perform the "lyrical and technical abilities" of the tuba and euphonium.

Washington State University will soon receive the largest single gift in university history from apple and pear growers throughout the state. The growers have agreed to make a historic investment of $27 million over the next eight years to support tree fruit research and extension at WSU.

"A gift of this magnitude is truly transformational,” said WSU President Elson S. Floyd.

(Updated 12:25 p.m.) - From parking spot to Eden, students from WSU's Landscape Architecture Club spent their Friday creating a paradise outside Ferdinand's ice cream shop for PARK(ing) Day.

It was just one effort out of hundreds to transform metered parking spots into temporary parks for public good. It started in 2005 when Rebar, an San Fransico art studio, rolled out their very own park in a parking spot for two hours.

Since then, hundreds of parks have rolled out their own project.
