‘As I Lay Dying’ an apt title

·

I started reading William Faulkner’s “As I Lay Dying” more than a week ago. I would consider myself a pretty fast reader, so a novel with fewer than 300 pages should have been a two- or three-day endeavor for me. However, since I had to keep reading and rereading chapters in an attempt to make sense of them, it took me more than a week to get to the middle of the book.

NCAA shows academic inconsistency

·

For many college students across the nation, three words were pounded continually into their heads so that they would never forget them until they passed them on to their own children. School comes first. School comes first. School comes first. But for others, academics took a backseat to athletics. The field came before the classroom, the ball before the books.
