With the information it collects, the project might also help urban planners make better decisions on things like where new bike paths should be built.Using a Facebook application called "I Crossed Your Path," cyclists will be able to... more

For the past 12 years, every spring a group of students come together to assemble the Clothesline Project at UCLA. The shirts are made by the survivors of sexual violence, rape and childhood sexual abuse. Friends and relatives of those who died also can make a shirt. The resulting clothesline is a powerful testament to the enormity of loss and pain. It's a healing process too.

It's final exams week and college students are desperate to cram. They turn to their friends who have access to prescription drugs, like Adderall for attention deficit disorder. Drugs like these are being increasingly used as study drugs at colleges everywhere. At UCLA, it seems like almost everyone has tried it or heard about it. Some students casually distribute their pills to friends. In this pod, students share their experiences and a UCLA psychiatrist tells us why the overuse of these drugs is a problem, whether or not they are prescribed by a medical doctor.

College Republicans at George Mason University in Virginia think they can reduce gun violence on college campuses by being allowed to carry concealed weapons. I know that this is the attitude of a lot of Americans, but I am flabbergasted. I think the best way to end violence is to get rid of guns and bombs and stop thinking of all your neighbors as evil people who want to do you harm (and no, I'm not naive about crime).
With that said, the thought of a wild drinking party in a frat house full of pistols or a college football stadium full of rabid fans with glocks scares the cr@p out of me! Having ready guns everywhere makes the possibility of accidents and crimes of passion much more likely to occur.College Republicans at George Mason University in Virginia think they can reduce gun... more

Families of those killed in the Virginia Tech massacre would receive $100,000 each under a settlement the state is proposing to prevent lawsuits, according to a victim's relative who received a copy of the proposal.
Medical and counseling expenses would be provided to the families of the 32 killed and dozens of surviving victims, said the person, who asked Monday to remain anonymous because those involved were told not to discuss the settlement.
Families would also have the opportunity to question the governor and university officials about the shootings, according to the family member.Families of those killed in the Virginia Tech massacre would receive $100,000 each... more

Police arrested a second suspect early Thursday in connection with the death of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student body president Eve Carson.
Heavily armed officers surrounded a house in Durham, North Carolina, shortly after midnight Thursday after receiving an anonymous tip that Lawrence Alvin Lovette Jr. was inside, police said.
Lovette, 17, surrendered without incident after four hours, Durham police Lt. Robert McLaughlin Jr. said.
He is the second man police were looking for in their investigation into Carson's death. Authorities have charged a suspect in the slaying of University of North Carolina student body president Eve Carson with first-degree murder.
Original Story --
Documents filed Wednesday named the defendant as 21-year-old Demario James Atwater, of Durham. Chapel Hill police and District Attorney Jim Woodall gathered Wednesday afternoon in an Orange County courtroom for Atwater's first appearance.
Police had released several photos of a man who they say attempted to use Carson's ATM card at a bank and a convenience store. The photographs, taken by an ATM camera in the Chapel Hill area, show a young man wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a vintage Houston Astros baseball cap.

Ferrum College President Jennifer Braaten activated an alert system and ordered the school locked down after a member of the housekeeping staff reported seeing a young man walk into a residence hall with a handgun, Franklin County Sheriff Ewell Hunt said at a news conference.
"Basically, he told the housekeeper not to say anything about it and he continued on," Hunt said. There have been no reports of threats and no one on campus had been harmed, Hunt said.Classes were canceled and a small private college went on lockdown Tuesday as police... more

Thanks to political pressure and Ivy League trends, American universities may begin spending more of their endowments.
Most agree this isn’t merely a wave of academic altruism; rather, it’s the latest development in a long-running battle between congressional watchdogs and the nonprofit sector. Harvard happens to be a tempting target for federal scrutiny since, as Slack notes, its overall endowment (nearly $35 billion) “is more than the GNP of a lot of countries."Thanks to political pressure and Ivy League trends, American universities may begin... more
