Does your mag run a column written by someone in your university's administration?
Check out some photographic highlights from the past 100 years over at Shorpy, the 100-year-old photo blog.
Is there a "best place" to put a story you want to call attention to*? (Front of the mag? Back? Middle?)
*Note: this concerns feature stories that, for one reason or another, are not or cannot be the cover story.
A professor at a Kansas university who dropped his pants and mooned a room full of students and teachers is under investigation after video of the incident was posted on YouTube, school officials said.
"We're sure that there's probably some facts and information that's just not available. I mean, you see a lot on the video, but we need to make sure everything is revealed before we take any action," said Fort Hays provost Larry Gould.
Sounds like everything has already been revealed, Larry.
"High Point University (just south of Greensboro, N.C.) is not quite Club Med ("Club Ed," it was called by the Chronicle of Higher Education) but provides free ice cream for students, a hot tub in the middle of campus, wake-up calls, and a concierge service, all run by a campus "director of WOW," whose job it is to thrill the "clients" and attract new ones. This is the strategy of President Nido Qubein, a motivational speaker and "customer comes first" businessman, and so far, enrollment is way up (even at higher tuition), new construction is transforming the campus, and $100 million is in the bank."

Do they really think the earth is flat? Yes, they do:
Mr. McIntyre estimates "there are thousands" [of people who believe the earth is actually flat], but "without a platform for communication, a head-count is almost impossible", he says. Mr Davis says he is currently creating an "online information repository" to help to bring together local Flat Earth communities into a "global community".
"If you will forgive my use of the term 'global'", he says. (BBC)
