*Not sure when bomb threats became trendy, but University of Minnesota officials reported their third of the semester this week—with one official calling it a "banner year" for the false alarms, the Minnesota Daily reports.

*From the Ball State Daily News: Happy Prohibition Repeal Day!

*File another one in the "Awesome Use of Tuition Money" bin: Take the Samba Drum and Dance class at the University of Utah.

*Having trouble finding housing in South Bend, Ind., on Craigslist? Maybe you should be buying a Notre Dame club/bar instead.

*Rather than rely on altruism, the University of Texas is expanding its Hungry for Justice program, which rewards crook catchers with pizza, the Daily Texan reports.

*A 19th-century musket may not be able to shoot anything anymore, but it can sure cause panic at Colorado State University, the Rocky Mountain Collegian reports.
