UND's 'eh' students

"This is the way the only Canadian studies program for thousands of kilometres in any direction gets started -- 20 students, three Canada-keener profs, and vague notions about the existence of a huge land mass somewhere to the north.

The topic today is the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and University of North Dakota geography Prof. Doug Munski -- standing in front of a projection that varies from a demographic map of Canada to the StatsCan online home page -- is having trouble getting takers for discussion. OK, except for one guy named Matt who's obviously a really good student, but Munski wants the other 19 to get into what Preston Manning loved to call constitutional wrangling."
