A Start

Obama calls beer conference for college administrators to discuss affordability.

Good idea. They ought to talk about sticker price vs. actual price as well. It seems to me college shouldn't be like buying a car where you're simply a sucker for paying the sticker price and not dealing with the game of financial aid and scholarships, etc. In grad school I remember the week of chaos around scholarship application time where everyone was hustling to put together reels, etc. I suppose it wasn't so bad and I can't think of a better system for how film school merit-based scholarships ought to work, but as a general thing, there is a limit to the good of everyone paying different price points.
