A bizarre story out at the University of Arizona, where 10,000 copies of a recent edition of the Daily Wildcat school newspaper went missing.

Hmm. The newspaper's editors think members of Phi Kappa Psi, a fraternity stole the papers because of a police item involving a couple of frat brothers.

Here's where the fun starts: The papers were reportedly recovered in a heap out on the outskirts of town...along with some homework bearing the names of two fraternity brothers.

Whoops.

Now, the student paper is challenging the fraternity to a duel. Okay, maybe not a duel, exactly, but in this column, the paper's managing editor is clearing throwing down a challenge.

Arizona's president, by the way, is Robert Shelton, the former UNC Chapel Hill provost. Shelton condemned the theft of the papers, telling the student newspaper that it is "completely counter to the principles of freedom of expression that we embrace at the UA."

 Bernadette Gray-Little is the second straight UNC Chapel Hill provost to leave Carolina for the top job at another major public university.

Gray-Little, who was just tapped for the chancellorship at the University of Kansas, has served as provost at UNC-CH since 2006. She succeeded Robert Shelton, who left the post to take the presidency of the University of Arizona.

For UNC-CH Chancellor Holden Thorp, the vacancy is an opportunity to put his stamp on his executive cabinet. And as he says in this open letter regarding Gray-Little's impending departure, the provost's job is a big one. The provost is the university's chief academic officer, overseeing 13 schools, the College of Arts and Sciences, the university libraries and assorted other academic units.

The local newspaper out in Kansas sent a reporter to profile Gray-Little. You can read that story here.
