Troy, N.Y. — Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is inviting
the local community to a pasta dinner on Oct. 17 that will
benefit the New York City Fire Department Widows and Orphans
Fund.
The dinner of spaghetti and meatballs, bread, salad, and

Room of the Rensselaer Student Union on 15th Street. The cost
is $10 per person, $5 for Rensselaer students. The dinner will
