New bill, student debt full stories online now
Featured today on PoliticalFiber. com
+ Reporter Stefanie Penn examines pending anti-abortion legislation in the Kansas statehouse. The bill, which has become known as the "personhood" amendment, would establish that life begins with the fertilization of an egg and would outlaw anything that prevents the fertilized egg from being carried to term. However, supporters and opponents disagree about whether the law's broad language would also ban emergency contraception and other common forms of birth control.
"A personhood amendment would have a dramatic and negative impact beyond issues related to abortion," said Laura Saneyfelt, an attorney who has worked on reproductive rights cases. The full story is online now at PoliticalFiber.

+ Student debt will exceed $1 trillion this year, a challenge President Obama and GOP candidates are seeking to confront with dramatically different approaches. Last week, we asked you who you think presents the best solution for dealing with the growing issue of student debt. Fifty-eight percent of responders said Ron Paul made the best case. Paul believes the federal government should eventually abolish federal aid for education because it's unfair for taxpayers who didn't attend college to bear the burden. Check out the full results online and let us know what you think.

Former mayor stole food mixer from local school
LOS ANGELES — The former mayor of a Los Angeles suburb has pleaded guilty to stealing a commercial food mix from the local school district so he could make dough for his home pizza oven.
Los Angeles County prosecutors say
Larry Guii entered the plea Wednesday
to a felony count of grand theft. He was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and one year's probation.
Prosecutors say a security camera recorded him loading the giant mixer and a cart into his pickup truck in 2010.

Starting Tuesday, students can add classes on a credit/no credit basis, but if they choose to drop classes after Monday, they won't get any of their money back.
Students who earn an A, B or C will receive a CR (credit) on their transcripts for credit/no credit classes, and students who get a D or F in the class will receive a NC (no credit) on their transcripts.
According to the Office of the University Registrars' website, only undergraduate students can take classes on a credit/no credit basis, and students not in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences should consult the advising offices in their respective schools to make sure the credit/no credit classes are accepted. For example, the School of Education and the School of Business won't accept CR/NC grades for certain classes.
The last day to add credit/no credit classes is February 27.

CORRECTION
Friday's article "University looks to implement common book" should have said students will be expected to read the common book the University chooses, not required.
