Congratulations Katie Stam, University of Indianapolis Student

I only saw a brief portion of the Miss America pageant, but since she is a student at the University of Indianapolis where I teach, I have to saw congratulations to Katie Stam, who won the contest and will be wearing the crown for the next year. What would have been great is if she would have been asked a difficult political-type question and nailed the answer due to something she learned in my political science class. But, alas, she never was in my class so any knowledge she displayed during the constest had different origins. It's sad that the Miss America pageant has fallen so far it can only be found on a low-rated cable channel. Nonetheless, congratulations to Ms. Stam.
