Berry College Student Performs Alleged Exorcism on Campus
Tweet Share on Facebook October 5, 2009 Comment (21)A former resident assistant at a small Georgia college claims to have exorcised demons from another student, the Viking Fusion reports.
Nathan Mallory, a junior at Berry College and a participant in a program for fervently religious students, told the Viking Fusion that the exorcism took place September 24 during a Bible study session he often hosts in his dorm room. Mallory says that while the Bible study participants were singing hymns, he noticed one participant—a former Berry College student who recently transferred—saying "no" repeatedly. Recognizing this as a sign of demonic possession, Mallory began to pray with the troubled student, he says.

Over the weekend, traffic on the Tufts Daily site spiked 300 percent because of growing interest in the policy.
This week, the Tufts Daily editorial board published a piece chiding major media outlets for picking up the story and running with it, U.S. News included.

Princeton Students Don't Like Free Kindles
Tweet Share on Facebook October 1, 2009 Comment (6)When Princeton University administrators brokered a deal to have 50 students receive free Kindle DXs preloaded with their course material for the semester, they were hopeful students would see the devices as useful, sustainable academic tools. Instead, most of the students who received free E-readers say they're dissatisfied with the device and find it inconvenient to use, the Daily Princetonian reports.
"I hate to sound like a Luddite, but this technology is a poor excuse of an academic tool," says senior Aaron Horvath. "It's clumsy, slow, and a real pain to operate."
