LECTURE
From Page 1
outlets like the Huffington Post
and highly personalized blogs,
have reduced what Sunstein
called the "architecture of ser-
endipity," or the unexpected
exposure to a person, topic or
viewpoint.
Sunstein said the "architec-
ture of serendipity" formed in
the 20th century when newspa-
pers, radio and television news
outlets presented a broad range
of issues and viewpoints to their
audiences.
He said public protests and
demonstrations are now one of
the fewways inwhichAmericans
are exposed to a diversity of opin-
ions.
"So long as the streets and
parks are open, we have a duty
to be exposed to people who dis-
agree with us," Sunstein said.
Terrorism, according to Sun-
stein, is a prime example of
sociopolitical polarization gone
horribly awry. He refuted the
widely held views that terrorism
is driven by poverty or a lack of
education, instead arguing that
"what terrorism seems to be
fueled by is polarization."

Offering hope for the future of
national and international politi-
cal discourse, Sunstein said the
burden of protecting and foster-
ing the open exchange of ideas
falls on universities. He called
for the creation of deliberative
forums to promote moderation
and rationality in political, social
and moral discourse.
"It is very important for insti-
tutions (of higher leafning) to
protect against' censorship and
the persecution of dissidents;" he
said.
Hosted annuallyby academics,
lawyers and journalists since1991,
Sunstein's talk was latest install-
ment in a lecture series focused
issues of academic and intel-
lectual freedom. Most recently,
Sunstein has been named as a
potential nominee for the U.S.
Supreme Court.
 Inhisintroduction,LawSchool
Dean Evan Caminker called Sun-
stein the "leading legal scholar
of our generation." A graduate
of Harvard College and Harvard
Law School, Sunstein has been
a professor at the University of
Chicago and Harvard University
Law Schools. He has also written
more than 15 books and count-
less articles for newspapers and
magazines around the country.

GRAD SCHOOL
From Page 1
programs, had more than a 200
percent increase in attendance
from the year before, according to
the report.
And with more students flood-
ing graduate programs, many expect
competitionto become more intense.
Seventy-five percent of the 245
business school admissions officers
from across the country recently
surveyed by Kaplan said that the
admissions process at their univer-
sities is more competitive than it
was just three years ago.
But many admissions officers
reported that their schools are con-
sidering expanding the incoming
classes as soon as fall 2009, with
some increasing capacity by up to
25 percent.
Nick Lysaght, the assistant
director of graduate marketing at
The Princeton Review, said more
students have expressed concerns
over poor job prospects this year.
Those students, he said, have opted
to instead take the entrance exams
for professional schools.
"We're seeing that on our end as
well, which is good for business,"
he said. "But at the same time, it's
tough to see the economy doing.

poorly."
Lysaght said that because the
economyis cyclical, it's notunusual
for an increased number of stu-
dents to seek a professional degree
to get a leg up when seeking a job in
a tightened market.
"A bachelor's degree isn't as com-
petitive as it used to be," he said.
LSA senior Matt Bailey, who is
applying tolaw schools, said the eco-
nomic downturn bolstered his desire
to become a lawyer. He agreed that
students graduating with a liberal
arts degree should consider "some-
thing more than a bachelor's."
Interested inbecoming a teacher,
Amaro said the scarcity of jobs has
left her little choice but to eventu-
ally apply for a master's degree in
school counseling in order to reach
her goal. She said graduate study
would offer her a "safety net," as
opposed to jumping right into the
job market.
Like other University students,
LSA junior Daniel Rehmann said
he's always considered applying to
graduate school. He intends to find
a job out of the state, and he said he
was confident that graduate study
at the University would put him in a
good position to do so.
"Odds are good that coming from
a University like this, you'll get a
job," he said.

For Saturday, Dec. 6, 2008
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Something about politics, religion or
higher education (or perhaps even pub-
lishing and media) discourages you
today. Maybe ateacher or VIP is on your
case. Relax. This will pass.
TAURUS
(April 20to May 20)
You might be concerned about shared
property, the wealth of your partner or
other financial issues. Things look bleak.
(It's always darkest before it gets pitch
black.)'
GEMINI
(May 21to June 20)
Conversations with partners and close
friends are critical, strained and
unfriendly. Try to make the best of this.
These are the people you normally love.
(And vice versa.)
CANCER
(June 21 to July 22)
Co-workers are critical of you today,
or perhaps you'recritical of them?
Either way, dont fall into the habit of
being picky with others today.
LEO
(July 23 to Aug. 22)
It's easytoabe fault-finding with chil-
dren and loved ones today. But what's
the point? As Goethe observed,
"Correction does much; but encourage-
ment does more.'
VIRGO
(Aug. 23to Sept. 22)
Tension and family discussions are
likely today because someone might be a
wet blanket, busy telling everyone else
why they can't do something.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
This is aworrisome day, and you are
in a worrisome mood. When these things
come over you, it's so hard to shake it,
isn't it? If you can't kick it off, just

accept it and wallow in it for a while.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Financial disputes with others might
occur today. Or someone older and more
experiencedthan you could be critical of
you or discouraging in some way.
(Bummer.)
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
This is a poor day to seek out the sup-
port of parents, teachers, bosses or VIPs.
They will shut you down. So avoid try-
ing to get permission or approval. Lie
low.
CAPRICORN
(Dec.,22 to Jan. 19)
Self-doubt or feelings of inadequacy
might grip you today. Try not to let this
get you down. These feelings are tempo-
rary and will pass. Continue your
research in some area.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20to Feb. 18)
People seem intent on telling you why
you can't do things today, instead of
offering support. Oh well. Same days are
like this. It's not realty a big deal.
PISCES
(Feb. 19to March 20)
Bosses, parents and VIPs will block
your suggestions today. Don't take this
personally. Maybe the time is not right?
YOU BORN TODAY You're percep-
tive and observant; you understand the
human condition. Because of this, you
know how to appeal to others. You're
also quick to see where an opportunity
is. Essentially, you're practical and easy-
going, and you always look for the best
in something. New avenues and new
beginnings this year have been exciting.
Next year, you focus on partnerships.
