*For William Faulkner's 110th birthday, University of Mississippi English professors are participating in a 10-hour marathon reading of "Go Down, Moses" just outside campus at the author's historic home, the Daily Mississippian writes.

*An accommodating University of Illinois housing office is reimbursing Muslim students for meals they miss during Ramadan, a holy month marked by daytime fasting, the Daily Illini reports. Muslim students for the most part seem to appreciate the gesture, but the amounts refunded still leave much to be desired: $2.05 for lunch and $3 for dinner.
