In the wake of Monday's Boston Marathon bombings, several universities will review their security measures for sporting and other large-scale events, Inside Higher Ed reported. An announcement by the Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday stating that there is no evidence that the bombings belong to a wider scheme may influence college officials' decisions on whether to implement concrete safety policy changes. Security at colleges nationwide will remain at normal levels because campuses are not currently hosting high-traffic events. The National Collegiate Athletic Association also issued a statement regarding its collaboration with host institutions and law enforcement to ensure adequate safety in Boston and throughout the country. At least a dozen college students in Boston are estimated to have been wounded in the bombings, and one Boston University graduate student was killed, according to Inside Higher Ed.
The NCAA men's basketball championship is one of the most captivating events in all of sports. The month of March descends into madness every year as 68 teams from universities across the country compete in a single-elimination tournament to crown a winner.

Many do not even have a particular rooting interest; instead, it is the overall spirit of competitiveness that attracts old fans and creates new ones.

Since its opening in 1957, the Dartmouth Skiway has come to symbolize a critical aspect of the College's heritage, paying homage to the hostile weather of the Still North on which many students thrive. It comes as no surprise, then, that skiing plays a critical enough role that it has been memorialized in "Passion for Snow" (2013), a documentary that explores the impact that Dartmouth alumni have made on the development of the skiing industry over the 20th century.

San Jose State University announced on Tuesday that it will develop a pilot program to create three online introductory math courses in cooperation with the for-profit massive online open course provider Udacity, the Chronicle of Higher Education reported. The classes will be offered for credit to San Jose State students at $150 per class, as opposed to $450 to $750 for traditional courses. San Jose State will retain 51 percent of the profits from the courses if the program continues after the pilot, and the remaining percentage will go to Udacity. Gov. Jerry Brown, D-Calif., initially contacted Udacity to find a way to mitigate increasing student debt. To combat the high dropout rates associated with online courses, San Jose State will consider implementing a peer mentoring initiative to monitor enrolled students.

In a Tuesday press release, Travis Blalock '12 introduced Hazing Tours, a daily tour service that will take visitors to Dartmouth Greek physical plants and offer insight on alleged hazing practices in Greek organizations, sports teams and other campus groups. Hazing Tours will also serve as "the first ever psychic witness service" that will provide supposed evidence of hazing allegations in order to allow the administration to take action against fraternities, according to the Hazing Tours website. Blalock is "prepared to summon spirits from the great void to reveal practices dating back to 1842," the press release said. While information indicates that the Hazing Tours endeavor is a joke, the release said tours will be offered daily, will cost $10 and will begin Thursday to coincide with Dimensions at Dartmouth.

During my senior year of high school, Chris Lilley's HBO show "Summer Heights High" hit it big, and the hallways were filled with the sounds of people trying to quote Ja'mie, Mr. G or Jonah three characters on the show all played by Lilley. It seemed absurd that people would act out whole episodes, but given the absolute awesomeness of the high-school mockumentary, who could blame them? After all of the hype and hysteria, though, "Summer Heights High" was over just eight episodes later, and television was once again boring and deprived of the brilliant humor of Lilley, who also wrote and produced the show.
