Indiana college student uniquely combats high text book prices

Except he got caught. Still, this guy might be on to something. College sit-in protests have gone the way of the rainbow wig, but Timothy Whybrew of Ball State University just may have come up with a way to make a statement against the outrageous prices of college text books.

From AP:

A Ball State University freshman found inside the campus bookstore after hours last night told police he needed to use the books for a class project.

Eighteen-year-old Timothy Whybrew was charged with trespassing.

Police say they decided not to charge him with burglary, because he had "good intentions" for being in the bookstore after it closed for the day.

Police say he stayed in the bookstore after the seven p-m closing because he had a class project due and didn't want to buy the books he needed.

Ball State is in Muncie, Indiana and is best known as David Letterman's alma mater.
