Students of OU, prepare to be offended
Mar. 7, 2006What began as an innocent belittling of all art students in my first column became a helpful trend this quarter as I have attempted to dog or clumsily allude to at least one major each week.

As time has run out, this column will be a desperate attempt to fit in as many majors as possible. Some will be left out and others probably mentioned a second time, but be assured, I tried my best to tag as large a sampling of students as I could. 300 majors is a lot, so if I missed you, share with the major nearest to yours.
