‘Thriving community’ in article too good to be true
I would like to comment on Michael Prochaska’s article, “Coal may not be in future for University,” on March 29, that cites coal as an economic advantage to the communities it is mined in.

iPhone application built to assist new students
As admission decisions are finalized, incoming students will more than likely struggle with the University’s vast campus. No worries — there’s an app for that.
