Over his 26 years at Portland State, Joseph Kohut's spark made him a memorable professor and friend for his students and colleagues alike.
This is especially true of the library emeritus professor's unflappable zest for paleontology, especially for conodonts-fossils that come from an extinct group of fish-like animals.

What was supposed to be a celebration of the University of Portland has prompted some students to question the value of building a 90-foot bell tower on campus.
