Families in the Northeast pay twice as much for college

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

45% of college aged students at the end of this horizon will be Hispanic.  A very Catholic lot.  MU seems to have the right strategy.

Yep.

[jsglow]

Yeah, I had not mentally made the Hispanic/Catholic link and it was not specifically mentioned in our briefing but it makes absolute sense.

I am from the Herman Cain camp. Not all of us colored folk want handouts or believe in the victim routine. We are all not bleeding heart liberals. Some of us even watch Fox News.

I worked my )7*%$ off lumping banana and meat loads for the truckers at the warehouses off Blue Mound back in the day.  One of the supervisors saw my work ethic  on the unloading dock and I got a unionized job in the warehouse. Since I was the low man on the totem pole( back in those non pc days that is what it was called) I was put in the freezer. In order not to freeze my &#$@^ off I set the all time record for freezer picking . Unfortunately, the union foreman ( a former MU football player who blew his knee out and was now driving a forklift) said , son that is not the way we do things here. You are to work for 15 minutes and take the rest of the hour off, as we have in the contract. That wised me up to the union and my goal was to be part of management. So I kept lumpin loads for extra money and saved my union earnings and that is how I paid for school. No freakin minority scholarship existed in those days.

Got good grades and ended up on Wall Street. Pure competition every day where no one cared what I looked like.  I eventually became a CEO on main street.  I did it all without affirmative action or people lowering standards for me and I am proud of that.  In fact on Wall Street I sat on the recruiting committees of a Bulge Bracket firm and a Major Bracket firm . I was the champion of  hiring people of all colors , creeds and sexual orientation; however, my firmly held position was to only hire the best. Not just hire tokens.  We have that same ideology in my company today. We only want winners not hangers on.

So you are a non traditional poster, a'aaianna? 

Herman is a great guy. Met him before, and knew many people who knew him well during his Pilsbury days...he was highly thought of.

Did he snicker when you poked his belly?  I think that should be a requirement for anyone who works there.

Ha. Most of the younger generation on this thread won't get the joke.

Anyone else notice that when MUFINY is directly asked if he attended Marquette, he ignores it and changes his user name?

We know he's a wanna be domer. Poor guy.

I thought he was trying to avoid the banhammer after Rocky's racism warning, as though the mods would never figure it out.

He can't admit to being an alumni because than his story about being a black CEO falls apart. I asked around and as far anyone knows Marquette has never had an alumni of color who was a CEO, at least not for any company than anyone would have heard of. By not answering he can still pose as an alumni (which I think he is) but still claim to be a black CEO.

I think the opposite.  I'm 99.99999999% sure he is not an alum.  He has never stated where he is an alum with the purpose of remaining an imposter alum.  The rest of his story may be true or it might be a total fabrication.  That I don't know.  But I am near certain that he is not an alum.

He could certainly be a CEO.  Just like my neighbor is the CEO of her independent Mary Kay consulting business.

Right, he said he was "a CEO on Main Street"...so he could be the CEO of a profitable multi-employee dog walking business for all we know.

For some reason I've always been under the impression that he went to Marquette High School (and no idea where he went to college).
