2006 Economics Award Dinner

So, I thought that attending a lecture with Anne Krueger at the Ath would be a quite dry affair. I was invited because I had been notified that I had won the CMCStudents.com Web Entrepreneurship Award, along with my great partners (Arjun and Ethan) for our business plan and website Fantasy Congress. All three of the best econ minds I know won the Outstanding Junior Economics Award- Paul VanDeventer, Elizabeth Schultz (my girlfriend), and Chris Urban. Other economics students won awards, notably Dan Yavorsky for his econometric analysis of the game Deal or No Deal on middle school students in a low-income middle school in Pomona and a high-income middle school. Needless to say, I am overwhelmed by how qualified the CMC economics department is. Well, after I had won my award, the infamous Professor Manfred Keil shows everyone the following video when students wind down from their finals! Straight from the Columbia Business School follies, it is "Every Breath You Take" created by Columbia Business School students. Click on Every Breath You Take, and watch the Columbia Business School (CBS) dean (played by a CBS student) lament the appointment of Ben Bernanke as Fed Chair. The lyrics are wonderful, and this movie is something that will go down in history as a relic of internet glory (like other hilarious political movies that circulate the internet, like the Jib Jab Movies- namely This Land). The great part was that Anne Krueger was the first to clap!
