While reading the Opinion Page in Thursday’s State News I ran into the letter by Nick Friant criticizing Bobby William’s poor coaching job (“Coach disgraceful, dismiss Williams”). Now, I don’t watch a lot of football - college or otherwise - and I don’t claim to know the game.
The potential drop in the number of international students studying in American colleges is an unfortunate circumstance of the Sept.
Earlier this semester, when I was supposed to finish reading a journal article that needed to head for an editor, prep a lecture for class and evaluate a bunch of papers for my students, I was instead consumed with thoughts of something that affects everyone’s lives on campus.

A couple weeks ago, I noticed that my cell phone was missing. I didn’t think too much of it at first, as I’m notorious for losing things - pencils, money, train of thought - nothing is safe from my lack of organization.A couple days later, it dawned on me that despite my clumsiness with my personal property, I’m usually a bit more careful with devices and items that generally cost as much as my entire usable paycheck.So after a day of retracing my steps, and a careful search of drawers, boxes and pants, I concluded that my phone was lost.
