The Mindset list

[Richard King]

This list always fascinates me when Beloit College comes out with it every year...and it makes me feel older and older and OLDER.

I guess I should have included this (the actual list) for this year's freshmen.

I don't know, I was born in '82 and most of those things aply to me...

But I was at on the campus of my almamater yesterday and freshmen orientation was going on, and I realized it had been 6 years since I was a freshman. Shoot, the decade is more than half the way through...

interesting, Richard. Time flies when we are having fun!

Beloit College is only about 45 minutes or so from where I live...and I live on Beloit Street. SPOOKY!!!

Our son was born in '82 and graduated from Rhodes in 2000. What hit me was that he started in 2000 and now the class of 2010 is starting. That is the decade!

I'm class of '08 at Rhodes. What was your son's major (and minor)?

From the class of '09 on the Beloit list:

28. Michael Jackson has always been bad, and greed has always been good.

Jay majored in Political Science and minored in International Studies. He was active in RCF while he was there; also attended weekly pizza Bible studies (ministry of 2nd Presbyterian EPC) and participated in Greeks Bible study, though he was an "independent". Thanks for asking. Do you know Clifton (I forget his last name) from '05, philosophy major, also a key player in RCF? He was one of Jay's roommates in East Village.

International Studies is definitely a popular field here, and it's often paired with politics. I knew Clifton semi-well throughout my freshman year. I've been part of RCF since then, and I know several people who attend 2nd Pres.

Did Jay graduate in 2000 or start in 2000?

Jay is Class of 2004. He started in August 2000, graduating on schedule.
