That's even more curious, as the computer and engineering disciplines
are taught at Oregon State, not U of O (which is here in town).
UofO teaches mostly football, it seems. It's been suggested that it
be renamed Phil Knight University. Last year construction was
finished on an academic center for athletes (big glass cube). Now,
they're breaking ground on a football administration building.
A "football administration" building?
Good lord.
How many hundreds of years will it be before we, as a society, outgrow the
whole "sports" thing?
Unless someone comes up with a virus that only kills stupid people, never.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
