<p>Save us from the Pseudo-Intillectual freshman in their Ivory Tower. Bless those of the same age who take up the Shilling.</p>
<p>Sounds like you've been reading too many Sharpe novels, AF. ;)</p>
<p>We have an ROTC program at our school. Not sure why because there's no one in it....
Twelve years ago, we had campus democrats and campus republicans, but that second group died because there was no one in it. Too bad we need government cash; the whole campus republicans thing should've set precedent.</p>
<p>CON:
LOL.... Got me there. I would rather Cornwell, O'Brian, Forester and Clavell than Chomsky, Olinsky, Zinn and Clark.</p>
<p>AF6872,</p>
<p>Unless, of course, you're talking about Chomsky's "real" academic work on linguistics, which is still quite good. :p</p>
<p>MIT & Linguistics??? Why does this not compute! Forget the Chomskey Hierarchy it just gave him a chair.</p>
<p>Through banning ROTCs the Ivys (not Penn, Cornell and Princeton) have lost the opportunity to influence the military and national defense for at least two generations. What an unfortunate situation.</p>
<p>I'm thinking primarily about current international news, how those events will affect American domestic security and may involve the American military abroad. </p>
<p>At the moment there is negligible Ivy voice in the decision making in the upper echelons of the American military. Because those officers were not matriculating as undergrads on Ivy campuses over the last twenty to thirty years.</p>
