With Perkins Loans Ending, Students Scramble
Abigail Anderson had it all figured: With multiple loans, a work-study job and scholarships, she could pay for Immaculata University for all four years. Not anymore. Anderson, a freshman majoring in fashion merchandising, found out recently that after this year she will lose her federal Perkins loan, which amounts to almost $2,000. "It changes everything," said the Magnolia, Del., native, who will have to look for other scholarships, or turn to her parents, whom she said can't afford it. "Every little amount counts. It all makes a difference."

Neighbors Wary of Temple’s Stadium Plan
Freddie Bolden was doing what she always does on Tuesdays from her perch on West Norris Street: feeding the neighborhood.

Temple University wants to build a football stadium on her block. "Who wants to open their door and look at a stadium?" asked Bolden, who is 58 and called Mom Mom by the neighborhood children. "That's ridiculous. They don't need to put it here."

Allowing More Guns Won’t Make Campuses Safer
Just eight days after a gunman massacred nine people at a community college in Oregon, two more students were killed in separate shootings on college campuses in Texas and Arizona. In many parts of the country, the shootings prompted a call to arm students and faculty. Only in America do we respond to shootings by claiming a need for more guns. Arming college campuses will do little to reduce mass attacks and will likely lead to more shooting deaths. There are already 300 million civilian firearms in the United States. That's more than one for every adult.
