Some Interesting College Courses

Last semester Michigan State University offered a little known course that might as well have been called "Digging up Famous People 101." It turns out that a number of MSU grad students and faculty helped police in their recent search for the body of Jimmy Hoffa. The students helped search specific areas of the 90 acre farm believed to hold the body. Nice job by the FBI getting college kids to do their manual labor for free.

The University of Alaska Anchorage has brought back its river rafting class. The class requires 30 hours on the river and counts as credit towards things such as an adventure leadership minor. I don't know how the school is going to attract premier athletes with non-academic classes this difficult.
