Campus Press Notes down for the summer. I'm doing some freelance stuff, as well as doing some work as a student journalist at the Democratic National Convention (unrelated to the student newspaper, of which I'll be news editor next semester). Speaking of next semester: We'll see if I've got the time to keep CPN up. If this semester is any indication, probably not. I'm not taking as many

Bloggers can get credentials for the Democratic National Convention. As can the collegiate press (listed under "other"). Deadline for both is May 28. Hope to be at the DNC. There is something brewing (school-related), and I'll say something when it's firmed up. [item via hubblog]

From a column in the Hartford Valley Advocate: "Wilson's statement might have been less dangerous if it were a private letter addressed to Gonzales alone. But instead, he used his public soapbox to echo a rhetorical position often used by anti-intellectual conservatives around the country. In doing so, he abdicated his responsibility as the spokesperson for the state's public university system to
