In 2006, the school created "Fitness for Life," a program that requires students with a BMI of over 30 - which is considered obese - to take a one credit gym class before graduation, according to Examiner.com. With 24 students who still must take the course in order to gradu-. ate this spring, many students have voiced opposition to the university's involvement in what they see as a personal issue, according to The Lin- colnian. University officials say they "are actively working to increase the health of their students." NORTHEASTERN U. CUTS FOOTBALL TEAM After five consecutive losing football seasons for Northeastern CRIME NOTES University, University officials have announced that the 74-year- old program will be terminated, The Huntington News reported. A council of senior adminis- trators, trustees, faculty, alumni, donors and students made the deci- sion, which has been under consid- eration since 2007. Northeastern Athletic Director Peter Roby wrote in an open let- ter in The Huntington News that the university would need to spend millions of dollars to keep the foot- ball program running. Football players at the school are protesting the move. In a Hunting- ton News article, Yaroslav Mukh, a sophomore offensive lineman, asks "why promise the kids that are coming in here as freshmen that they were going to definitely play out their careers here?" SOUTHERN COLLEGES SUED FOR PRAYER IN CEREMONIES Americans United for Separa- tion of Church and State is suing two South Orange County com- munity colleges on behalf of stu- dents, professors and graduates for leading prayers during official ceremonies. According to the lawsuit, one of the campuses, Saddleback Col- lege, is accused of, among other incidents, showing a video in a fac- ulty training session that endorses religion. The video ends with the quote "only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you. Jesus Christ and the American G.I. One died for your soul, the other died for your freedom", accord- ing to The Orange County Register News. Saddleback College profes- sor Karla Westphal sparked the lawsuit by contacting Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the American Civil Liberties Union in 2004 after finding the college's use of prayer offensive. - CHELSEA LANDRY CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom c News Tips Corrections Lettersto the Editor Photography Department Arts Se.tion Editorial Page Sports Section Display Sales Classified Sales Online Sales Finance office how: Sn.-Thurs. ita.ma. -2a.m. news@m'icigandaiy.comn eoreti'oi@',iiigatdaiy.cam tothedaily@mchigandaily.com photo@cigandaily.com eartspage@michigardaily.com sports@ ihigandaily.cee, display@nhigandaily.com cl iftedojcsigaodai l.com onlineads@michigandaily.co finance@m~ichigandaity.com 0i Members of KDM, a Korean freshman dance group, practic yesterday in the Mason Hall auditorium.
