SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
As we wind down, I have decided to mix things up a bit in class. In lieu of the upcoming essay on women's pro sports, I am offering my two sports sections the opportunity to arm wrestle for points. If you agree, you will be paired with someone of the same gender and of similar weight. If you win your match, you automatically gain the full 20 points of the assignment. If you lose, you gain only 10 points, or half the value of the assignment. If interested, leave your name and section number in the Comments section below. All entries must be in by midnight on 04.01. Good luck!
