*Ohio State University is offering a course about the ethical production and consumption of goods, the Lantern writes. The class was "inspired" by the clothing company run by the relentless Bono.

*In what could be the ultimate Boy Scout badge, one Brigham Young University professor (along with 37 other outdoorsy types) has been honored as one of the first fellows of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine, BYU NewsNet reports.

*Two scammers have been roving the residence halls at the University of Kansas, trying to sell fake magazine subscriptions, the University Daily Kansan reports. "They were the smooth-talking salesman type," says one of the would-be victims. Too bad they probably weren't part of The A-Team and didn't look like this. —Alison Go
