New UC chief is ready for action
He tussled with Jesse Ventura over Minnesota schools and locked horns with the Texas legislature. His next adventure will be wrestling a budget crisis as University of California president.
Mark G. Yudof, the incoming president of the University of California, says he gets a kick out of his unlikely connection to “Predator,” the 1987 movie pitting action heroes against an alien creature in the jungle.
Two of the film’s muscled stars, Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger, later became governors, of Minnesota and California, respectively. Yudof, a former president of the University of Minnesota, famously tussled with Ventura over education funding in that state.
And on Monday, the distinctly nonathletic attorney who has led the University of Texas for six years heads to Arnold-land at a time when Schwarzenegger is advocating a state budget that would lead to big spending cuts for UC….
… Claire Harlin, a recent editor of the Daily Texan student newspaper at Austin, said Yudof left “more of a positive mark than negative,” but was “grossly overpaid.”…

NEW YORK Since Claire Harlin became editor of The Daily Texan in June 2007, the University of Texas’ student newspaper has added a six-person multimedia team and two more bloggers — and expanded its use of audio and video to at least one offering per day. “That’s how students get most of their news,” says Harlin, 24, a senior majoring in journalism and Latin American studies.
The Texan has also drawn readers into the process, says Harlin, whose staff in February solicited online video questions from students
for a Democratic presidential debate on campus, then packaged the video and shipped it to CNN. While the cable network didn’t air the questions, she says, “it was really cool getting people involved.”
But ask Harlin how much the university’s curriculum and faculty are helping online journalism, and the answer is: not much. “You can essentially go all the way through without ever having to learn Flash or shoot video,” she says. “The journalism school lets students choose which route they want to take.” Even as recently as two years ago, she adds, “multimedia was not a necessity.”
That view is shared by numerous students, professors, and newspaper editors, all of whom have a stake in the current state of college journalism.

Famous last words of the Hulk special video they put up on the official hulk site (under “hulk connect”). http://incrediblehulk.marvel.com/index_flash.html
This is freaking hilarious. SMASH! I promise they didn’t tell me to say that, although it looks somewhat staged…

I finally made it over to the one library on campus that’s equipped with the necessary technology to convert VHS to digital, which begs the question: Why are people, especially those over at CNN headquarters, still using VHS anyway? I don’t even have a VHS player, so today was the first day I actually got to watch these clips, and they brought back some fond memories of those few very eventful weeks of the Texas primaries. And I am glad to say that the Texan’s very controversial endorsement of Hillary Clinton got voters (especially young voters) that much more involved in the election. This was a record breaking year for voter turnout in Texas, and in March it was looking like the results in Texas could make or break either candidate. Hillary got my vote this spring, and I knew I was setting myself up for strong criticism by endorsing her in a paper that serves an Obama-crazed community. But I hope I showed a few young voters that it is, in fact, OK to like Clinton, and I think it was the best service to democracy to provide the less popular and much less accepted viewpoint. I’ll be happy to vote for Obama in the upcoming general election (very happy, actually), but I was even happier to make the “uncool” choice in March and get people upset, involved and off their butts and to the poles! A tear for Hillary … however, wasn’t her endurance and dedication inspiring?
and then, here is the other CNN clip that had already made its way into Internet land…

The folks at UWire just passed along some links to well-known media entities that have featured the UWire 100 in the first day since the release:

So, this is the actual link to the UWire 100. I just realized that I kind of broke the embargo by putting that on my blog before today. Oopsie. Sorry. Nobody reads this, so it’s OK.
The list is also featured on the Editor & Publisher Magazine Web site, and there will be some journalists featured in the June issue of E&P.

Stephen Veres wrote in an e-mail to the winners today:
“The students hail from 66 different schools, ranging from small liberal arts colleges such as Cabrini, Loras and Hamilton to large state universities. Among the schools represented by multiple members of the UWIRE 100 are the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (five), Penn State University (four), the University of Iowa (four), the University of Florida (three), Syracuse University (three), Indiana University (three) and the University of Texas-Austin (three). Fifty-nine of the students were graduating seniors and three were freshmen.
“It was a very tough decision – one that took almost a month to figure out. We were impressed by quality of the pool of candidates, and it was inspiring hearing the wonderful things about all of you.”

I came across this when looking around at this UWire stuff.
