Beloit College presents its annual (since 1998) Mindset List for the Class of 2007. It

helps to slow the rapid onset of �hardening of the references,� in the classroom.

A few examples:

3. Iraq has always been a problem.
5. Paul Newman has always made salad dressing.
6. Pete Rose has always been a gambler.
8. An automatic is a weapon, not a transmission.
11. There has always been a screening test for AIDS.
12. Gas has always been unleaded

And, much of what applied to the classes of 2002-2006 applies as well.
Send them suggestions for the Class of 2008.
