WASHINGTON - "Step back! Doors closing," the automated voice commands as I step into the Metro subway car. Once inside I lean against the door and do my usual look around the car for anything interesting or life-threatening. My eyes soon stop at my feet, where inches away a small child - maybe 5 or 6 years old - sits and skims a large-print book.
INDIANAPOLIS - Spend less than five minutes with Indianapolis 500 rookie Ryan Hunter-Reay, and it's easy to see why car owner David Letterman brought him on board with his team.

The summer session has begun, and summer jobs are harder to find than some students might expect. Sure, people don't want to work on campus because the pay isn't the best in the world, but it's better than no job at all. The country's lousy economy keeps adults from getting jobs in the career of their choice, so students should be realistic about their job opportunities and not be naive about finding jobs off campus.
The correlation is uncertain, but it is hard to deny the relationship between the lack of summer jobs in Muncie and Ball State University's continually decreasing summer enrollment. Over the past four years, Ball State summer session enrollment has declined - sitting as high as 6,019 in 2004 before dropping to 4,808 last year.
