Papers to hand back

If you are one of the dozens of students looking for the tests Professor Owen gave in one of History, Economics or Poli Sci classes, Wait no more. The tests and results are now available in the library. Stop on by.

Remember that the library is closed for Memorial Day this Monday.

The Millennial Makeover has used two analogies to describe the upcoming change in political feeling and influence. One is the generational changes in personality that the authors say happen in 4 generation cycles: every 80 years. This is based on American politics since its inception and shows that we alternate between generations that get stuff done and generations that don't. The other analogy is the Harry Potter analogy. The idea that the old guard and professors equals the babyboomers and the Students are like our millennials and the generation stuck in the middle: the Hagrids, have very little power and are like the generation X. Now I don't like either of these analogies for several different reasons, not the least of which it makes me look like a lazy, fat half-giant. Have you read this book? What do you think?
