We know you’re all out of school, but we’re going to attempt to keep you abreast on Northeastern news this summer with a new feature. Similar to Fresh Cream, Ripe Produce will feature local Husky news that’s “ripe for the reading.” Here are six summer stories you must know.


* The Boston Globe reports the university has gobbled up 72,000 square feet of space at 101 Belvidere St. from the First Church of Christ. This newly taken space will be used for administrative operations.


* Afraid of being stalked? Well, researchers at Northeastern are tracking 100,000 people via their cell phones to determine how humans live their day-to-day lives. What's next, an implanted chip in our head?


* There’s no way that kid is working this summer. Between attending summer camp and additional schhol classes teens are no longer working during the summer, according to a research study at Northeastern. I never got to enjoy my summer, I was one of the 35% of kids working!

 

 * Wanna see a hot Northeastern girl? Of course you do! Check out College Humor's site, Cute College Girl of the Day, and vote on this cute chick.

 

* So you're broke and want an job? Well to bad! It appears that summer jobs are scarce this season, not just for you, but also for those poor high school kids. Looks like we're all unemployed!

 

* A relief in gas prices? No way! Yes, according to professor Harlan Platt of Northeastern, as reported in The Dallas Morning News, there could be a drop in those outrageous gas prices. So, go ahead and plan that summer road trip.

Wow, 'Northwestern' is 'tracking' us via cell phones? Maybe you mean 'Northeastern,' and maybe you actually read the stories that said the prof looked at six months of cellphone billing records ... Naw, that'd require, um, some level of awareness. Posted 06/12/2008 08:59 AMReply

No, they "tracked" people via their cell phones. Maybe you should read the various articles about the research. Posted 06/12/2008 09:37 AMReply
