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.

American poet John Ciardi once said, "A university is what a college becomes when the faculty loses interest in students.

Just out of curiosity, as an avid UK fan, mother of a former student and employee of UK, what's up with the fact that in a time of budget cuts due to funding and raising student costs the only one person ranks a bonus when all those hard working employees making him look so good don't even get their modest 2 percent raise?
Does President Lee Todd not open the windows of his ivory tower long enough to hear how disgruntled most of his employees and students really are?
The budget cuts in the departments that may not put UK in the top-20 bracket, but they have brought the university quite a bit of versatility and notoriety.

If you've been keeping up with my writing the last few weeks, you probably have a good idea about my beliefs regarding our university's lack of regard for students. As of yet, I still lack contrary evidence to show that my rebukes of UK are ill-informed or misplaced.

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.

Over the past few weeks I have heard four guys talk about needing a pedicure, and the other guys around them agree. I appreciate a well-groomed guy, but when men are more worried about their appearance than girls, I feel the universe has lost its balance.

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.
President Ribeau said many great things, but his silent behavior spoke loudly about the value of trusting and kindness.

Iam not a smoker. I don't really know what conditions lead someone to pick up the habit, especially with anti-smoking campaigns proclaiming their message at every level of American society. But you don't have to be a smoker to be troubled by the language of a study released last week by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention about the current state of second-hand smoke in our country.

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.

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.
