Between 3,000 and 10,000 people attended a free surprise acoustic performance by musician, John Mellencamp at Indiana University.

The performance was held during the day, and whild many classes were cancelled, many more students skipped class.

According to Mellencamp, "The whole purpose (of this performance) is to lighten up their day a little."

The members of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity at the University of Missouri are few of the men living on a primarily female campus.

Because of the plans to reconstruct their house, Stephens College has agreed to let them move into a vacant dorm.

Although there is a commute, the men are remaining positive throughout the situation.

As for living closely with girls, student Seth Swindler says, " I think Stephens is actually keeping the girls away from us."

Not only are books being sold in the San Diego State U. bookstore, but also a calendar featuring 12 female students.

Chad Hutchison, a sophomore international business major, created the calendar so students could see the different girls who attend the university.

The girls were selected from 300 applicants who replied to Hutchison's ad.

All of the women are amateurs.

Hutchison's main goal is to establish a name for his company, College Photography.

For the first time in many years, Saturday's football game at the University of Oklahoma did not have a pregame prayer.

In the past, a prayer was given before the game over the loudspeaker.

However, a U.S. Supreme Court decision ruled that a Texas public school could not allow a student-led prayer at football games.

This decision prompted the cancellation of the prayer at OU.

Although there was no prayer, there was a moment of silence in memory of a former football coach's daughter.

Math professors at the University of Alabama are using computers instead of standing in front of a classroom for Math 100.

The purpose of the computers is to lower the number of students who fail Math 100, which has a 50 to 60 percent failure rate.

The students taking the course can complete it as soon as they learn the material. They must complete tests by a designated week and must finish the course by the end of the semester.

Students can work from their home by installing the software on their own computers.
