Good Riddence to the school that had Mumia Abu Jamal as a commencement speaker (via taped audio).

That was the point of no return for me. What a role model.

[Lion Den Dan]

It is funny how a conservative college, Hillsdale, in Michigan manages to prosper with out one cent of government support. In fact, they seem to frequently be at odds with the government because they will not take government support and still grown.

Exactly!.....sounds like you remember those days as well...get married or go to grad school; either one got you out of the draft....the draft dodgers went on to become tenured PhDs and indoctrinate future generations in anti-Americanism.
your point about the ease of getting student loans is one of the sadder aspects of the PhD glut....several of my wife’s friends were so saddled with grad school debt that they were in their late 30s and had to postpone having kids, buying a house ect.ect....stuff that most of us do in our 20s.
