Does this look familiar? It should - it's what currently makes up the bulk of the ubiquitous Hamline student e-mail forum, CLA Students-Announce Digest. For the 1,900 odd undergraduate students at Hamline, the digest is - or was - the best way to receive news about events happening on campus.
College administrators seem to be as susceptible to trends as their students.

In the past, Hamline has walked the line on accommodating non-traditional students.
The first day of classes appear arrhythmic during this cold week in February; I arrive to every class late - slightly incredulous and raging as I begin to ovulate. Right before I sat down to write this column I attended a seminar where most of the students appeared to fit the stereotypical, boring dude-bro profile of men who attend strip clubs (I should know, as I've worked in one).
When Steve Jobs released the iPad two weeks ago, the reactions from the general public as well as the tech-gurus of our lives were very mixed. Since 2001 - yes ,that early - rumors began to fly about Apple working on a tablet computer of some sort that would compete with PDAs.
