Lonta Hobbs, a former Horned Frog running back from the class of 2006, was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison for delivery of cocaine.

Red River County District Attorney Val Varley said Hobbs was recorded on camera making a drug deal with a confidential police informant and was arrested in March 2008. The deal was made near Clarksville High School, which Hobbs attended and where and was employed as a coach and teaching assistant.

Equal rights for LGBT people is a hot topic that evokes strong emotions on both sides of the issue. But regardless of which side of the fence one is on, it is a good thing that dialogues are taking place at the highest levels of the university.

An on-campus survey completed in 2008 found that five of the five openly gay students who were examined for the research exhibited levels of cautiousness and discomfort attributed to the "campus atmosphere."

A concept from a historic civil rights activist has inspired a group of students to reach out to local youth through a new mentoring program, the program's coordinator said.

Jamarri Aikins, a junior psychology major, said that W.E.B. Du Bois' idea that if one in 10 black men becomes a leader then he can institute social change motivated him to start the Talented Tenth Mentoring Program.

Saving money is now just a text message away.

Local eateries and stores, including Red Cactus, Waffle House and University Couture, have teamed up with Collegetokens.com, a Web site where students can search their area and find coupons to their favorite hangouts and have them sent via text message, one of the site's co-founders, Kelvin Stroud, said.

Stroud, a graduate of the University of Arkansas, said the idea came to him when he realized that the coupon books he got after he purchased his books every semester were a waste.

Controversial receiver's release good riddance

When the Dallas Cowboys released wide receiver Terrell Owens last week, I was foolish enough to think for a second the madness was finally over.
