<p>Alumni is the plural form of alumna/alumnus. Either you want to say, "Who are your favorite alumni?" or, "Who is your favorite alumnus/alumna?"</p>
<p>or you want to say, "Who cares about grammar?"</p>

<p>tucker max and mike nichols are both pretty awesome.</p>
<p>Ughhhh after meeting Tucker Max when he did a book signing at school, I completely lost any love for him.</p>
<p>I like Millikan, because the oil drop experiment is totally sexy (though I think I'll have to do a lab on it this year?)</p>
<p>Milton friendman!!!</p>
<p>I thought Kurt Vonnegut went to Cornell, no?</p>
<p>Elizabeth Peters (Barbara Mertz) </p>

Why is that? Clearly he sensationalize some of his stories (or it may just be the fact that hes a sublime writer)</p>
