*According to the Badger Herald, the University of Wisconsin canceled at least two courses, then forgot to tell anyone. Oops.

*The University of North Carolina rugby team has been suspended because some members have been accused of hazing, the Daily Tar Heel reports.

* A group of Ball State University students and visitors was trapped in an elevator for two hours, the Daily News writes. No, they were not re-enacting R. Kelly's latest artistic venture.

*Here's an idea: Waste a bunch of text messages at the behest of AT&T and then punish yourself with a Dave Matthews Band concert. That's what they want to do at the University of Kansas, according to the Daily Kansan. —Alison Go
