Lyndon State Decreases Tuition

Blurb: Students get more cash in their pocket next year.

Lyndon State announced today that they will be decreasing the cost of tuition by 10% starting in the fall semester.

Harold R. Drazsnzak, the vice president for finance, made this announcement today in the new auditorium ASAC 100, and said that decrease is possible because of increased revenues from the state.

This was the fist tuition decrease at Lyndon State. Drazsnazak said, "Without a doubt, this decrease is long overdue for our students"

First Vermont Bank robbed

Blurb: Miss Vermont arrested for suspected bank robbery.

Miss Vermont Cathy Bensen 22, a Lyndon State senior, was arrested today for suspicion of bank robbery.

The First Vermont Bank was robbed yesterday by a masked individual, and police are not releasing how much money was stolen.

Benson is the daughter of locally prominent attorney Jim Bensen who lives in Lyndon. She also has been planning to attend Dartmouth for medical school.

Big screen, big cost

Blurb: Unknown vandals damage the big screen TV that hangs on the wall in the twilight theatre lobby beyond repair.

Body:

The television that hangs in the twilight theatre was vandalized at some point between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. on January 18.

The television looks as if it was stabbed with a sharp object or even punched. THe monitor is currently turned off with a large sign on it describing what happened.

This vandalism will cost the school $3,000 to replace, even though the TV was originally partially funded by gifts from private donors. The school does have an insurance policy for events such as this, but the TV is not covered because it is under $5,000.

This event has triggered debate across campus about more security and possibly the installation of cameras. The public safety office has also been short handed recently dude to the deployment of public safety officer Charle Forrest.

Public safety asks that anyone with information contact them at 802-626-6452.

Pimp My Blog

The theme of my blog was simplicity. Most of the gadgets I just find annoying, and they distract from the actual content of the blog. I posted a lot of information on the F-16 and how cool of a jet it is.

My Jets

Here are my two jets: 83-1165 and 86-0289. 83-1165 was the first F-16c to pass 7000 flight hours. When the F-16c was manufactured it was only supposed to fly for around 3000 flight hours. 83-1165 is no longer flying.

NSN sports net review

Review of http://nsnsports.net:

This website seemed to have lots of content at first. There was lots of content covering the northeast kingdom. The video feature is a great idea and they should receive many hits just for that. I almost feel like there was too much content on the home page. I wasn't sure where to go.

Once I started digging I found lots of dead links, and links that lead to absolutely nothing. This is probably because the site seems like it is fairly new and under development still.

Some possible changes or additions is the idea of having stats for high school players. Another idea is featuring an athlete of the week, much like the burlington free press does.

Overall I feel that this site has lots of potential to be the top high school sports site of vermont. They just may need to expand there coverage.
