“Ethics in a Down Economy” is the subject of a panel discussion set for Wednesday, Feb. 11, at Drake University and sponsored by the Drake chapter of Students in Free Enterprise.
The event, which is free and open to the public, will start at 7 p.m. in Parents Hall at Olmsted Center, 2875 University Ave.

- Matt Whitaker, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Iowa
- Phil Hodgin – principal and corporate CEO, RDG Planning and Design
