Nicholson, whose brother suffers from chronic, debilitating pain due to football injuries, is the legal caregiver for his brother, allowing him to hold and administer the drug. After facing criminal charges for drug possession and suspension from the University, Nicholson hired an attorney and threatened to sue CU, who has since dropped the charges and altered their rules. The University still has a strict poli- cy against drug possession on campus, but students holding medical marijua- na cards may now request to move off campus to avoid school punishment. AN UGLY MESSAGE Last week a custodian at George Fox University found a cutout image of Sen. Barack Obama hanging from a tree along with the words, "Act Six reject," spray-painted next to it, the Oregonian reported. Act Six is a program at the school that gives scholarships to minority stu- dents who show leadership potential during high school. Robin E. Baker, president of the Quaker-affiliated institution with about a quarter of its enrollment comprised of minority students, met with Act Six members and the entire student body last week on separate occasions. STUDENT CHARGED FOR THREATS Colgate University senior George So, who was accused of posting a shoot- ing threat on the website JuicyCampus. com, recently paid nearly $5,000 to law enforcement agencies, the Post-Standard reported. The message was titled "I wonder if I could shut down the school," and read: "If someone put the effort into writing a big long serious suicide note informing all readers that he would kill over 100 kids, they could shut down the school." Police then traced the online message back to So, who received three years probation and was required to write let- ters of apology. Colgate did not suspend or expell So for making the threat. EVOLUTION OF APPLICANTS In addition to a written statement, students applying to Michigan State University now have the option to send a personal, videotaped message with their application, the State News reported. Jim Cotter, director of admission as MSU, said some students articu- late who they are very clearly in writ- ing, but everyone is different and this enables disadvantaged applicants stand out. Students can upload their videos to You- Tube.com and sent it to college admissions offices by registering with CollegeSupple- ment.com for free.
