When I was taking Graham back up to campus after two mental health days earlier this week I asked him changes at UNC, the installation of the Program in Civic Life or whatever you call it and the departure of Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz for Michigan State. Graham said that he had shaken Guskiewicz's hand something like four times and that he had been out serving pizza to students just a couple of days before his departure was announced. The "new guy," Lee Roberts, by contrast, hadn't been seen at all. And he certainly could have come out for the 40th anniversary of the opening of Davis Library the prior week, where I'm pretty sure pizza or perhaps cake was served. Graham was there.
So we see what makes an impression. And also that free pizza still has a certain allure even when more or less bottomless pizza is available in the dining hall all the time. There's just an eternal magic to it.
