WSU student Amanda is having a problem with one of her professors, Miyuki Vamadevan (technically her former professor, and the prof is a grad student). It all started in January after Vamadevan, changed the time of a test for Soc 362 (Juvenile Delinquency) which then ended up conflicting with a class Amanda taught, Psych 106. After giving permission to take the test at another time Vamadevan emailed Amanda and said she looked up the university record and saw that Amanda was not enrolled in the class, and that Vamadevan did “not like any kind of dishonesty”. Well it turns out while Amanda teaches the 1 credit Psych 106 (the don’t be dumb about alkee, sex, etc class), she is actually enrolled in Psych 497 (internship). Amanda got quite upset about being called a liar.
How do we know all this? Because Amanda, AKA poshspice, posted it all on her public livejournal Diary of a Frat Girl. For some reason strange Amanda doesn’t list Vamadevan's last name, but lists her first name and initial of her last name (like this (Miyuki V---)), the class she teaches, and posts her picture, um…does Amanda really think readers will not figure out who the prof is?! Lesson here if you post something in public on the internet people will read it.
We most note that we are only hearing Amanda's side of the story, and not Vamadevan. There certainly are professors who have less then stellar behavior and teaching skills. On the other hand we are amazed sometimes at the lack of respect some students give professors. We would not put up with it and we wonder why you profs (we know you read Cougster) put up with it. Profs should spend some time in Dr. Ahn’s class and study how he runs his classroom (though Ahn needs to be more helpful to students during tests…but that post of another time).
Back to the Amanda vs. Vamadevan saga, Amanda ended up dropping out of the Soc 362. She was looking to take it this summer, but guess who is the only one teaching it… Vamadevan and she emailed Amanda about this fact. All this and more is on Dairy of a Frat. We hope that both Amanda and Vamadevan handle the situation with care…we don’t want to see this get nasty...err…nastier.
Update: needless to say the post we refer to is no longer accessible. Update 2: We removed Amanda's last name.

You may have seen Cao Weiguo at the bars and thought who is this guy? We always did and now we know, he teaches Chinese at WSU, has a few degrees, and is working on his PhD. Why does he go to the bars all the time (other then for the beer)? Because he says it reminds him of his hometown of Shanghai.
The blog My Bleezy has profile of Wieguo that sheds some light on who is this kindly looking guy many of us have wondered about.
Here is the beginning of the profile:
An Asian man in his mid 40’s stands alone in the corner. He wears an electric yellow windbreaker and a gold chain hangs around his neck. Sipping his beer, he watches the young people dance around him. Even though his hometown is across the Pacific Ocean, Cao Weiguo feels closest to home at the Pullman bars.“Pullman bars are the only place to compare with Shanghai,” he says.
When Cao began visiting bars in the early 1980’s, he viewed Shanghai, China, as a small town. The locals called it the “city without night.” He describes Shanghai as all night parties, where young people would dance and drink until the early morning hours.
The bars in Shanghai, Cao says, used to be very safe. Very rarely did fights occur. He says fights occurred more often in rural bars and usually involved knives.

 Kyle Schott turns on porn star buddy
We knew this would happen, according to the Columbian newspaper Kyle Schott is going to testify against Jack Reid (aka Jack Venice). As you might remember the pair is accused of entering several sororities and fraternities and at one sorority sexually assaulting a woman. Based on reports of what happened and the backgrounds of the alleged perpetrators (WSU student v. porn star) it not surprising who got offered a deal. If you are Reid’s attorney we imagine the first thing you do is attack Schott’s credibility, he was drunk and hanging out with a porn star, so how can you trust him!

21-year-old David Miner
18-year-old Ian Copland
We don’t like what they allegedly did…but at least they sport WSU shirts at the time of arrest!
Some more info on the case From KXLY:
Twenty-one-year-old David Miner and 18-year-old Ian Copland have been charged with five counts of First Degree Arson and four counts of Reckless Burning. Police say they didn't seem to have much of a motive for starting the fires, but noted that they appeared to be intoxicated.
From Dnews.com:
Whitman County Prosecuting Attorney Denis Tracy said the men were released on their own recognizance by Superior Court Judge David Frazier. They are subject to requirements that they not leave the state and posses no firearms or alcohol.
The men were not in court for their arraignment, as previously reported. Tracy said the arraignment — during which time the men will give their pleas — is scheduled for Friday at 10 a.m. if he can agree on formal charges.
