News in Brief
Today after a lecture by James Yee in Kane Hall, I discovered on the ground an iPod Mini. Just lying there. I looked around for those who had been sitting there, but they were gone and didn't come back. As you might imagine, I'm now in the midst of a significant dilemma: do I invoke the legal precedent of Finders v. Keepers or the moral principle of "Gift from God"? Ah beloved iPod Mini, you are so small, but you truly will show the world...

Dear U.S. Navy:
Thank you for your mailing of February 2, 2006 inviting me to "Accelerate my Life." While I appreciate that there is no application fee, I couldn't help but wonder why the mailing I received as I get ready to apply to law school promises to fund my undergraduate education?
I suppose it also works to your disadvantage that I received the mailing immediately after hearing a presentation from former Army Capt. James Yee.
If I decide to redo my undergraduate education and need help with funding, I'll give you a call!
Militaristically,
Karl D. Smith

Dear Regents University School of Law:
Your determination is admirable. Nonetheless, I do have one suggestion - when sending out mailings inviting potential law students to apply, perhaps you should highlight something beyond the presence of John Ashcroft on your faculty. I must say, though, highlighting your elite status as one of the top 159 law schools in the country did prove tempting. After all, Yale is also one of the top 159 law schools in the country, so therefore, you are in the same league as Yale, correct? (Yes, I did quite well on the logic portion of the LSAT, thanks for noticing!)
Ivy-ingly,
Karl D. Smith
