Well, CSU is generally a good college, but lately the Collegian (our campus paper) has had so many typos and other errors they have decided to start reprimanding the editors or the reporters, or possibly both.  Last year it was rather amusing.  They ran a picture of our university president, Al Yates, with a caption about Al Queda surrendering in exchange for earmuff hats and (something else I forget).  I guess I shouldn't complain too loudly, as our local newspaper at home is nearly as bad.  Another favorite Collegian trick is to say "this story is continued on page 3", only it isn't on page 3 at all, it's on page 6.
