...mention in the editorial that students can have no alternative choice of representation other than their resident dean. Again, this is incorrect. Students can ask for a Board alternate if they so choose and the Dean readily appoints one, ordinarily from the pool of Board members who are not also resident deans. In addition to the representative to the Board, a student can also ask for a personal advisor, someone who is an officer of FAS (a professor, coach, tutor, etc.), to come to their appearance before the Board or its subcommittee with them...

This is completely false. The resident deans are very much taken seriously and consulted by faculty members in several situations. There is no “voting bloc” on the Board, and there has been no intimidation of any member of the Board...

More Information Than You Require comes out Oct. 21; Hodgman talks to TIME about the financial crisis, his accidental role as a minor television...
...outright alarming: students who register in their college town could be ineligible to be claimed as dependents on their parents' tax returns and might be in danger of losing tuition scholarships. The problem, according to youth-voter advocates and the IRS, was that these dire warnings were incorrect. After widespread outrage, the registrars backed off. But experts worry that the resulting confusion could sour first timers on voting altogether. "It's creating somewhat of a chilling effect," says Steve Fenberg, executive director of the youth civic action group New Era Colorado...
