MOST RIDICULOUS ITEM OF THE DAY: Skorton wants more staff. Or, excuse me, following a review that found UI President David Skorton's office was "understaffed" compared to other Big Ten Schools, more cogs will be hired. Clearly, the university bureaucracy at a school of nearly 30,000 souls needs more foot soldiers to shuffle students around.

Really, just when Iowa had something to be proud of--a relatively small governance structure (since apparently football is out of the picture)--the university has to go and hold a "review."
