You know, from "Simon and Simon."
You'd think Beloit College would have more famous alums than that.
But you'd be wrong.
Hell, "Vince Whitacre, former primary candidate for U.S. House" is probably one of Beloit's most famous grads.

68. Beat this- Linus Pauling. |

Only person to be awarded a Nobel for science and a Nobel for peace.
They're building a new high school here. There's a bit of contraversy about who to name it after. Some guy named Avery who was apparently involved in founding the town, and Linus Pauling, father of modern chemistry and the dearmement of nuclear weapons movement. It's come out that Avery was a big supporter of slavery before and during the Civil War. Pauling, on the other hand and according to freeper LTTEs, was a communist traitor.
Fucking idiot freepers.

John Denver, John Hinkley Jr, Meatloaf, and Sheryl Swoopes all went to Texas Tech - my other undergrad school.
And I went to grad school at the University of Texas. The list of their famous alums is too damn long to even get started on here.

76. Randall Jarrell and Fred Chapell |
|
both poets. Plue Fred Chapell is also a novelist. They didn't study there but both were members of the English Dept.
I believe Fred Chapell has finally retired. He was my advisor.
UNC-Greensboro. I'm sure some others.

well-known DU epidemiologist..... (seriously, UW is well-known as having the top epidemiology and biostatistics school in the country, unless you're from Chapel Hill....then you have a right to at least argue).

I really wanted to get into their Tech Writing Masters program. It's supposed to be one of the best and most competitve in the country.
But then the bottom fell out of the industry and all the jobs are going contract, so I've been considering things like Public Administration instead...

Stephen King was President of the Student Government when I was a Freshman.
Bordick played baseball and the hockey Kariya brothers were well after me. In fact, we didn't even have a hockey team when I was there. Now we have two NCAA championships. :)

On a more positive note CUBS pitcher Rick Rueschel (I may be spelling his name incorrectly) also attended WIU.
You can guess which one I am more proud of....

99. George Clooney graduated from the university I work for. |

Northern Kentucky University was founded in 1968 so it doesn't have a rich history.

107. Since no one else is claiming O.J. Simpson... |
|
I'll pretend he went to USC.
Our non-murderers have included the Duke himself, John Wayne, former U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher, astronaut Neil Armstrong, opera singer Marilyn Horne, film director George Lucas, actor John Ritter, columnist Art Buchwald and too many superb athletes to mention.
When I attended in the '80s, I knew -- or knew of -- plenty of aspiring actors/actresses on campus who achieved some level of fame: Anthony Edwards, Ally Sheedy, Kelly Preston, Ted McGinley and Byron Allen.
Two friends of mine from the student newspaper staff became regulars on CNN, Paul Vercammen and Casey Wian.
