Six decades later, SU's Class of 1950 returns to reminisce about the campus that changed them.

More than half a century ago, Ed and Elaine London met on a blind date for his fraternity formal. The two returned to campus for a class reunion Friday — on their 60th wedding anniversary.

“It didn’t go anywhere for quite a while,” Ed said of their relationship after his Zeta Beta Tau formal.

“We were both busy,” Elaine chimed in. But after winter vacation, they went on another date. “And one thing led to another,” she laughed.

Najibullah Zazi, a suspected terrorist, pleads not guilty to charges of plotting to use weapons of mass destruction.

A terrorism suspect has pleaded not guilty.

Najibullah Zazi was charged with plotting to use weapons of mass destruction. Zazi faced a New York City judge Tuesday and has declared his innocence, says NPR.org.

The FBI arrested Zazi over a week ago after an ongoing investigation by U.S. intelligence officials. Officials had been tracking Zazi for months, looking to discover the intent of the weapons, as well as with whom Zazi was working, says NPR.org.
