President Barack Obama gave the State of the Union address, on Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2011. He talked about various issues from jobs, education to investment in science, research and technology.
Nonetheless, an area of interest to me is education. He said, "America has fallen to the 9th position in the proportion of young people with college degree." The president also emphasized on the need for increased respect for teachers and the role of parents in ensuring that kids stay the course until graduation.
He also stated that his administration has made college affordable for millions of students "by eliminating taxpayers' subsidies that went to banks."

Tuesday at Truman
Truman was a beehive of activities on Tuesday, Jan. 18, as the college
opened its doors for the 2011 spring semester. Students crisscrossed the
hallways seeking various services from registering for classes to obtaining
CTA U-Pass and Identification Cards. In the least, it was never a day you
would describe as calm or passive.
Faculty and other support staff attended to student needs from those
administering tests to deans overriding already filled classes.
In the end, the day ended with no any major reported incidence of security
problem.
