*UC-Davis is opening its own Robert Mondavi Institute, the California Aggie reports. Best final exams ever?

*A college rivalry taken to the courts (the legal kind) ends with a Texas A&M store owner adding white splotches to a "Saw 'Em Off" parody logo to appease University of Texas attorneys, according to the Battalion.

*Instead of going to Europe, spending tons of money, isolating themselves among other American students, and learning almost nothing about foreign cultures, more students who want to study abroad can choose Africa, the Daily Pennsylvanian reports.
