	Frank Stricker: New Book Wages War on Poverty Frank Stricker’s first book, Why America Lost the War on Poverty- And How to Win It was released this fall. In it, the professor of history at California State University, Dominguez Hills examines the economic and social mores surrounding American poverty and policy from the 1950s to the present.

Terra Antarctica in the Loker Student Union on Nov. 13. A poet, author, explorer, cultural geographer and scholar, Fox integrates literary and scientific interests into his works. Much of his poetry and nonfiction writing stem from his travels to far-off places, the result being an examination of humankind’s relationship with nature, particularly vast desert spaces, and the need to understand and define it.
