Police warn students on nude photos: Apr 18, 5:55pm 1 review education
http://www.daytondailynews.com/n/content/oh/story/news/local/2008/04/17/ddn04...; I'm not sure what to make of this. The officer here seems to be saying if a minor takes a picture of themselves and sends it to thier (legal minor) S.O., that is exactly the same as a skeevy old person possessing child porn? Errrrr.... From the page: "After three incidents, Kettering police and school officials are warning students that using camera cell phones to take and send nude photos to other students is against the law. "When a picture is taken of an underage person and transmitted it's against the law," said Kettering Police Officer Jennifer Smithhart. "It's the same as child pornography.""

Student wants better class flexibility at night - Opinions: Feb 19, 6:45pm 1 review education
http://media.www.theguardianonline.com/media/storage/paper373/news/2008/02/20...; Older students are becoming a greater number of postsecondary students. It may not be trendy, hip, or comfortable, but it's important that thier individual needs be met. And that means - at least - more classes outside of "traditional" class times. From the page: "Stop fooling yourselves. It does not matter what time the class ends. Classes beginning before five in the evening should not be counted as evening classes. It is possible to find "day shifts" that end by four o'clock - though that ignores transit and parking time at Wright State. But more importantly, the American Time Use Study indicates that 67.82% of Americans with full time jobs are still engaged in work-related activities between four and five o'clock. For students trying to attend Wright State and still hold down a day-shift job, a class at 4:10 might as well be offered at 12:30. Counting these as "evening" classes creates the cruel illusion of serving adult and non-traditional students, while effectively denying them access to post-secondary education. "
