Trail Mix

*Overachievers at Michigan State University have been in a tizzy ever since the school decided to raise the GPA thresholds for graduating with honors, the State News reports. "It's a little bit discouraging," said one student. "Especially if you're struggling in a class. You might panic."

*Turns out Duke University's wireless problems weren't caused by the iPhone, as previously reported (sorry, Apple!), but rather a hiccup in the school's Cisco network, writes Macworld. Paper Trail also apologizes to the Duke community as a whole for accusing it of wanton materialism.

*Apartment complexes near some college campuses have begun installing tanning beds on the premises, Kennesaw State University's Sentinel writes. Despite the potential health risks, the tanning beds are—no surprise here—exceptionally popular. —Alison Go
