Until the voting age was lowered to 18 in 1971, college students did not register on presidential candidates’ radars. In the ’72 election, millions of young people turned out to exercise their newly-granted suffrage rights. Of course, Richard Nixon was reelected that year and pretty much doomed youth voter turnout for the next three decades. Nevertheless, several candidates over the years have enjoyed huge youth followings, and recently college voters have come to play a crucial role in choosing America’s leader. Here are 10 presidential wannabes who rocked the student vote.

Prop 8 is unconstitutional, and it doesn't take a series of judges to know it. The nationwide legalization of gay marriage seems now to be an inevitable step for the United States. While many hater politicians and activists decry that same-sex coupling undermines the "sanctity" (a term etymologically rooted in religion) of marriage, the pro-gay marriage momentum continually grows. It's only a matter of time.In response to increasing reports of gay children and adolescents committing suicide due to negative social pressures associated with their sexual orientation, media darling and GLBTQ activist Dan Savage and his husband began the "It Gets Better" campaign to encourage and remind gays that life gets better after adolescence and coming out. And get better it does. If you need some extra help with this courageous act, or just want to put a smile on your face, check out these nine amazing true stories of brave souls who have come out.

10 Significant Moments in the History of Photography

On a summer day in 1826, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce made what is believed to be the first photographic image with a camera obscura, also known as a "pinhole camera." The process used a plate covered with a substance called bitumen, which hardened in relation to light as it came through the small hole into the dark, airtight interior of the camera obscura. Washing down the plate after several hours of exposure with oil of lavender produced a permanent image. Since then, photographers have made great strides and great art. Below are 10 magical and significant moments in the history of photography.

8 U.S. States Suffering the Worst Brain Drain
3 / 0
http://www.onlinecolleges.net/2012/02/06/8-u-s-states-suffer...
We’ve all heard reports about the brain drain many nations around the world are experiencing, with qualified grads choosing to work in places that can offer more freedom, better pay, and an overall higher standard of living than their home countries. Yet college grads and professionals in our own country are also driven by these forces, and as a result, many parts of the U.S. are being hit pretty hard by brain drain.Within the U.S., there are several types of brain drain that are at play, with varying levels of severity. Some brain drain may be caused by too many grads from top schools (the nation’s best and brightest, one would assume) heading to Wall Street, instead of helping push forward science and technology. Brain drain in the U.S. may also be caused by making if difficult, if not impossible, for brilliant students from abroad to get residency, doing the country a disservice in the long run by driving out businesses and entrepreneurs who will take their ideas and money elsewhere instead. But perhaps the most prevalent type of brain drain is driven by the same factors that make intelligent, young professionals everywhere in the world move from one place to another: money, resources, and opportunities. Some states can offer these in spades, while others are struggling to hold on to recent college grads and long-term professionals alike. Read on to see just how brain drain is affecting these places much closer to home.

10 Reasons Academia Isn’t Radical Anymore
1 / 0
http://www.onlineuniversities.com/blog/2012/02/10-reasons-ac...
Most of the great breakthroughs in science, math, and philosophy haven’t been readily accepted by mainstream society, even though the scholars that presented these iconic ideas are lauded for their genius today. Academia, at many times in history, has been the refuge of those who are willing to think outside the box and come to conclusions about the world and our place in it that may be hard for people to stomach. Yet increasingly, this radical element of academia is falling by the wayside, leaving many wondering why academia just isn’t as edgy as it once was.While there are still some radical academics out there, they’re becoming increasingly few and far between. Mainstream media, funding issues, controls on academic freedom, and even the university structure itself all have a role to play in the decline of radical academia. Read on to learn more and why, for better or worse, academics of today are a much better-behaved group than those in the past.

1 / 0
http://www.onlinecolleges.net/2012/02/05/50-hidden-gems-on-c...
At first glance, your average college campus typically seems pretty innocuous: a dorm here, student union there, libraries, administration buildings, classrooms, regular things you’d expect to find at any school. But so many campuses are home to old mysteries, amazing books, carefully manicured gardens, and sometimes even ghost stories. As students and faculty rush about their daily lives on campus, it’s certainly easy for all of these things to pass them by, but when given a second look or a moment of investigation, you may find that there’s a hidden gem that’s been there all along, just waiting to be discovered. Here, we’ll explore 50 amazing gems hidden among college campuses in the US, some of them secret, some mysterious, and some of them just simply underutilized.Just about every school has its own set of legends about unwritten graduation requirements, spooky stories no one can prove, and even little Easter eggs hidden about campus. We’ll explore just a few of them here.
