Tomatoes, as everyone knows, are fruits not vegetables. Fewer people know that avocados, coconuts, cucumbers, peas, beans (green as well as all other beans), peppers, corn, augrimages, squash and all kinds of nuts are also fruits.

EDUCATION
Two events conclude week for geography
Globe-O-Mania is an annual trivia competition in which teams and individuals can sign up to compete for prizes. It is
The KU Geography Department will conclude its celebration of National Geography Awareness Week today with Orienteer Kansasl from 3 to 5 p.m. on the field north of the Ambler Student Recreation Center and Globe-O-Mania in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union at 4:30 p.m.
one of the largest events of the University's National Geography Awareness Week and in years past has attracted as many as 300 participants.
"It's usually pretty fun," said Emily Pabst, a graduate student from Columbia, Mo. "I think some participants come in for the extra credit thinking that it's going to be boring but then really end up having a fun time."
Orienteer Kansas, a community organization, is a new addition to this year's KU Geography Awareness Week. The group will teach participants how to orienteer, or
race through unknown areas with only a compass and topographic map.
Celebrations first kicked off on Monday and Tuesday with free screenings of the documentary films "Thirst" and"The Boys of Baraka". Pabst said that the week had been a success with more than 100 students turning out to watch the films.
"The films had a pretty good showing." Pobst said. "It's always nice when students take an interest in the events we plan."
Other events included GIS (Geographic Information Systems)
Day held last Wednesday in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The all-day event hosted presentations on the various uses of GIS including disaster relief and criminal investigation.
Pabst said one nice thing about GIS Day is that it had a job fair for any students interested in pursuing a career in the field of geography.
"A lot of employers and professionals come to that event," Pabst said. "It's not just something that undergraduates attend."
