A graduate student says he was dropped from the family counseling program at Webster University after the school determined he was lacking empathy.
I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised Tuesday upon reading The Rope. I picked up a copy from the floor in Carroll Science and carried it with me over to the SUB to get my morning coffee.

As a former member of the Baylor Lariat staff and a proud graduate of Baylor University, I am writing this letter to all members of the Baylor family. Today will be one of the biggest moments for our university in a long time, and thanks to ESPN, we will have a national audience.

The story grew from a December 2009 incident in the locker room of the NBA’s Washington Wizards in which a supposed “joke” between the two escalated until they produced guns from their lockers. Arenas got most of the attention – and blame – which is fitting. He was the team’s star, considered one of the better players in the game.
