In the words of Professor Seyhun, "Fall is upon us, which means many exams". Yes it does, and a few of us are sweating. No one is sweating more than our own Rob Mirman, but we're not sure that's from exams. It may be just that he rides a time trial to school on his bike everyday, or it may be that Mr. Mirman is really a Mer-man, which would mean that he surfaces Godzilla-like from Lake Whitmore each morning.
Naresh Iyer, section two playboy, is definitely not feeling the test pressure, as he was overheard saying, "Yeah, I had five minutes left-over in the Econ quiz". That's why all the chicks dig you Naresh. Naresh would like to formally announce to the faculty, ladies of Sections 2 & 6, and all BBAs, that he has legally changed his name to 'N-Dawg'. In an exclusive interview with the MSJ, N-Dawg stated: "Hey man, from now on I will not respond to Naresh, Mr. Iyer, or any of the other names you beautiful ladies have been calling me. The name is now N-Dawg. Not N-Dog. It's N-Dawwwwwwg. Word, man."
As the passage of time takes us further into the core, we are also becoming more aware of the integrated nature of our coursework. Last week, the theme was famous economists. We heard about John Nash, the crazy guy from the movies, whose theories are now the inspiration for a not-so-popular game show. "Friend or Foe", a show seemingly only popular with Turkish finance professors, has given game theory, the prisoners dilemma, and Nash equilibriums their place in the sun.
Message to Professor Seyhun: If you would like to replace Homework 5 with a required watching of the Game Show Network, we will gladly oblige. John Maynard Keynes also got quite a bit of publicity, mentioned in three classes over the span of two days. His quote "In the long run, we're all dead" rung loudest in our discussion of the Newman's Own case, where Professor Yoon asserted that "everyone dies eventually, and Paul Newman WILL die". We will all be sad to see "Fast Eddie Felson" go.
