Leaders and Best in ALMOST Everything
Okay, so UMich is awesome, right? Well, I think so as much as the next alum who simultaneously held season tickets to football, basketball and hockey one year (only had one game of each on the same day once) and has multiple expressions of loyalty gracing her auto. BUT, there are some sweet things here at OSU (not THAT OSU, eeew) that we didn't have at Michigan.
1) The student union here has a craft center, which offers, among other things:
Didgeridoo Aboriginal Instrument Making
Wednesdays 6:30-9 July 12 to Aug. 2 (+Membership)
WCR- 30 Dan Berry Class Fee: $20 Materials Fee: $20
Have you ever wanted to play the didgeridoo? This four part workshop will demonstrate how to construct an inexpensive, great sounding didgeridoo out of PVC pipe. The class will cover choosing the right pipe, shaping, painting, finishing, and an introduction on basic playing techniques and circular breathing. All materials will be supplied. Some extra time outside of class may be required for painting and finishing.
Seriously, is there anyone out there who has never wanted to play the didgeridoo?
2) OSU isn't too fancy pants to have sports classes. They have dancing from ballet to country western. They have fishing, fly and otherwise. Fitness walking to surfing and everything in between. They even have bowling and rock climbing!
Hey now! Don't go thinking I'm a convert. I can appreciate two things at once, but who are we kidding? Put a beaver in the ring with a wolverine, and it's obvious who will be the Victor Valliant. Surely it is no economic accident (arbitrage for you econ-minded readers) that the tickets for all sporting events here are free (even the national champion baseball team's games) to students. And they don't have hockey. Academically, if cost is any indication of prowess, an undergrad here can expect to pay $5,604 per year as an Oregonain, whereas a Michigander attending UM pays $10,960. Out-of-staters pay $17,538 and $31,178, respectively. Wow, UM must be awesome!
