A National Forum on Campus Politics

National Review Online launched a new feature today called "Phi Beta Cons," a blog of sorts devoted to covering the politics of the American college campus:
Today marks the inauguration of National Review Online’s latest blog, Phi Beta Cons, dedicated to keeping an eye on the politics of campus life. You’ll be reading professors, students, analysts, and reporters here who will both link to must-reads and give you content and analysis you’ll get nowhere else. We hope every day among the Phi Beta Cons will be an education.

I’ll stop talking now though because class is beginning…
The blog promises to be "The Right Take on Education" - it looks like a healthy addition to the intensely local, yet nationally relevant debate on college campi.

One of the first tidbits posted was a Harvard debate on the Muhammed cartoons, featuring an old acquaintance of mine, Montana native Travis Kavulla, current editor of the Harvard Salient.

Hopefully they'll link to an interesting blog on college admissions, etc. published in part by my friend Phil the writer.

I have a feeling I may frequent PBC - it's already bookmarked.
