[Vision2020] Engineering Students Take Top HOnors

[Tom Hansen]

It seems we have a choice here.

We can either applaud sudent achivements at the University of Idaho or (as
Mr. Strand prefers) make a joke out of their accomplishments.

Tell us, Mr. Strand.  What have you done lately?  I can use a good joke
right now.
