How do you make most of your money? I work at Aeroflex—it’s right down the road on Garden of the Gods—as a temp. And I’m a receiving inspector there. I work 12 hours part-time in between classes. That’s what I live on, and then I make my money over the summer working more at Aeroflex.

With the economy still in shambles and money tight, most people have changed their spending habits to some degree. How are students using and saving their money?
Did you know that the pendulum in the Osborne Center for Science and Engineering actually has a name? Its official name is the Foucault Pendulum, named after Léon Foucault, the French physicist who built a pendulum to prove the rotation of the Earth. The pendulum swings as the Earth rotates underneath, taking a full 38 hours before returning to its original position. The whirlpool beneath the pendulum is controlled by a biofeedback panel. If you place your fingers on the pad, it can speed or slow the whirlpool in accordance with your heart beat. The pendulum cable is 43.5 feet long and the ball at the end weighs 275 pounds. Electromagnetic rings at the top counter friction, allowing the pendulum to remain in perpetual motion. S
