President Bush signed a new GI Bill on Monday aimed at providing the full cost for college or job training for those who served after Sept. 11, 2001. The GI Bill will extend to activated reservists and National Guardsmen with benefits paid proportionally to the number of months in active duty.
Jacob Meeks, the president of the Student Veteran Association (SVA) at PSU, an organization recently responsible for helping to raise money for scholarships for veterans and a summer retreat for new association leadership, has spoken with both Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Senator Gordon Smith (R-Ore.) about the GI Bill.

To Ashlanders, Jen Moss is simply known as the "Naked Lady." Most recently, however, she is not only making news for her revealing pasties and strange habits, but also for her desire to sue the city of Ashland for not allowing her to participate with a group of 10 people in Ashland's noteworthy Fourth of July Parade--only wearing a G-string, rollerblades and a smile.

Depending on who you are there is some good news and some bad news about Hancock.
If you love superhero movies like The Incredible Hul¬k--where the traditional comic book structure of hero defeats super villain, finds romance and battles inner turmoil remains untouched¬--then you will most likely be disappointed by Hancock.
But, if you've had your fill of traditional superhero films after Marvel's one-two punch with the entertaining but still conventional Iron Man and the aforementioned, insipid Hulk, then the genre-twisting, Will Smith-vehicle Hancock should be a pleasant surprise for you in this year's so-far unexceptional summer movie season.
