The editorial cartoonist for the "Indianapolis Star" is a gentleman named Gary Varvel. I've enjoyed Mr. Varvel's work for several years - first for its conservative nature, and second for his gift of pointing out political stories that the mainstream media tends to overlook.

Some students might feel a professor might not care about their well-being. Some might feel that faculty and staff aren't interested in what happens to them.

Tons of studies have been conducted that show previous generations were much happier than we are now, especially those of us in my college-aged generation. They had more friends and more fun than we do. But how? We have big-screen TVs, DVDs, cell phones, video games and the Internet.

I served under President Sidney Ribeau until 2002. I only talked with him once and said hello a few times, yet my sense of him is that he is trustworthy, kind, wise and a fine leader from whom we can still learn by noticing his qualities.

Only one group can be hit with a tuition increase on Thursday - and like the last three years, it's the incoming freshmen that will bear the burden.

One of the more frustrating things about being a student at the University of Illinois at Chicago is the lack of community at our school. We all have friends on campus and at home that we can enjoy life with, but if we are honest with ourselves we will acknowledge that it is difficult to meet people at this university because a wide majority of students treat it as if it were a giant community college.

Based on the short amount of time he's been with the University, it appears Rich Rodriguez's name is "trouble." The Athletic Department's problem child made headlines again last week when an out-of-court settlement determined that the Wolverines' new head football coach would have to pay $4 million for breaking his contract with his former employer, West Virginia University.

Apparently, Billy Ray Cyrus didn't make enough money being a second rate country musician and TV star. If a guest appearance on "Diagnosis Murder" is the pinnacle of your career, you probably aren't rolling in dough. However, Billy Ray Cyrus does have a tremendous talent.

The IRS just gave Ball State University an excuse to limit the use of university-owned cell phones and PDAs.
According to the Internal Revenue Service's Taxable Fringe Benefit Guide, cell phones and PDAs are now "listed items," which means the university can't claim them for tax purposes.
