College Crunch/ UC Eligibility/ Obama's Song
College Crunch Today on Insight, we talk with researchers and faculty about California’s need for college-educated workers at a time when universities are cutting enrollment because of budget problems.
UC Eligibility What impact will changing admissions requirements at the University of California have?
Obama's Song We check in with the local musicians behind "Of Great and Mortal Men: 43 Songs for 43 American Presidencies." They leave soon for Washington DC to play a pre-inaugural benefit and are getting ready to release the 44th song about President-Elect Barack Obama.
