UA's marijuana policy
Remember the item earlier this week about whether the University of Arkansas had or had not made campus punishment for marijuana the same as that for alcohol violations? (Bottom line was that, despite notices that the rules had been equalized, top-level administrators put the kibosh on easing pot penalties.)
Those who backed the rule change aren't happy about it. Their release is on the jump. There will be a protest. That's what college is for, right? (And drinking beer and smoking pot.)

Famous band with Arkansas tie makes fun of an even more famous band with Arkansas ties

Hot Springs native Chris Wilson is the hirsute Pharamist. He plays a priest in the parody musical. "He died because he didn't believe in the power of punk," he lip syncs.
