“Of course, it’s not enough for us to increase student aid.  We can’t just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition; we’ll run out of money.  States also need to do their part, by making higher education a higher priority in their budgets.  And colleges and universities have to do their part by working to keep costs down.  Recently, I spoke with a group of college presidents who’ve done just that.  Some schools re-design courses to help students finish more quickly.  Some use better technology.  The point is, it’s possible.  So let me put colleges and universities on notice:  If you can’t stop tuition from going up, the funding you get from taxpayers will go down. 

Higher education can’t be a luxury – it’s an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford.” - President Obama

One of those College Prezezez he spoke to was the SUNY Chancellor, bopbop

Dear Betty. As someone who has admired you my whole life I can’t believe I’ve had the great good fortune to actually meet you and work with you. You’ve given me the most amazing show business advice over the years. I remember the first time we met, I was just a young SNL writer, and you told me, “Never let anyone tell you you’re not good enough - to pose nude.” And I’ve always remembered that. When I met you again years later, I told you that I was thinking of leaving NBC and you said, “You know what? Don’t bite the hand that feeds you - when you’re posing nude. ‘Cause that guy might be a friend of the photographer.” And I took the spirit of that advice, and I stayed put. And when “30 Rock” first started, we were having such a hard time and we thought we were gonna get cancelled, you wrote me the loveliest note. You said, “It’s always darkest before the dawn - which is the best time to pose nude. Because once that bus station opens, the cops are probably gonna kick you out of there.” Actually most of your advice to me has been about posing nude. Anyway. Happy birthday, Betty. I love you, enjoy tonight, and like you always say, “Keep reaching for the stars - ‘cause it really makes those knockers stand at attention!”

improvnonsense:

This is a series where great improv teachers I know write down their thoughts on teaching improv. We start with Chris Gethard, who was the second person to ever run the UCBT-NY school after Kevin Mullaney. Gethard wrote the first full curriculum for the school, taught dozens and dozens of very popular classes at all levels and also coached some of the best teams to ever develop at the theater. For a majority of the people who have considered themselves UCB performers in the last 10 years, Chris has been one of their prominent coaches/teachers.

He also has a new book out, A Bad Idea I’m About To Do, which you could check out.

Q: What are common notes you give to students?

Gethard: Here are pretty much all the notes and speeches I give, all the lines I draw in the sand. Honestly, I think if anyone reads all these they don’t even need to take a class with me:
