write major on diploma?

[nibot]

There is a petition going around to have the College of Engineering print our major on our degrees. Currently they just say "College of Engineering". I wrote to the Engineering Joint Council to say that I liked the diplomas just the way they are. If you care, you can let them know your opinion.

On another note, it turns out that David J. Griffiths has published a second edition of his quantum mechanics textbook! It's not on amazon.com, it's not on his web page, but it's in our student book store, and the colophon says "Copyright 2005". It's blue now.

And then you started studying Physics at NC State?

Pretty impressive — you're slightly less than three years older than me, but you have two college educations!

Actually, I started my physics degree there, switched to a double major with art, after two years dropped the physics and added art history. I took 5 years to graduate from Santa Cruz. Then I took a year off, and enrolled at State to finished up the physics degree. All told, I have 8 years of undergrad studies and two bachelors degrees.
The funny thing is I was one class away from a math minor, and one from a German minor (although that is a joke, a native German speaker getting a German degree). So I could have really loaded my degrees with majors and minors.
