...labels read, WE SELL TO MINORS & DRUNKS. While Price, 26, uses a paintbrush, Chris Hui, a high school sophomore in Milwaukee, Wis., has gained a national reputation for applying unusual materials such as carbon fiber to sneakers, an idea he got after he saw the flexible composite on the hood of a car. Hui, who goes by the name C2, is something of a celebrity at his school for customizing shoes for people like NBA star LeBron James. Despite his fame, Hui, 16, admits that at heart, he is just another sneakerhead. "Once I get the money," he says...

While we are indeed proud of the swanky redesign of the Registrar’s website, we remain too often unmoved by what’s under the hood. In addition to the disappointing delays in grade delivery, the Registrar’s attempts to better accommodate students with a more user-friendly site frustratingly lacks online transcript request processing.
