I'll have you know that I made my living as a QA Engineer at Texas Instruments in the early eighties. I have an MBA and was heavily into statistics.
Every three or four years there is a "silver bullet" for management that claims to be the solution to all problems. In the early eighties it was SPC: Statistical Process Control. Some Army General had it written into all Army contracts as a requirement and all the contractors had to go out and hire a biblical host of statisticians.
I was one of 'em. To me engineering requires bib overalls, a red bandana, goggles, and a pin-stripped locomotive driver's hat but yea, verily, TI called me an engineer.
Law school came later when I figured out that the TI lawyers made more $$$ than the QA engineers.

I'm sure other fraternities will get their hands on it as well...it's the gift that keeps on giving!
Now, at STLCOP - each student entering would be required to state the chemical name of a random Trade Name product (ie. Claritin = loratadine). That way we could verify that they actually go to STLCOP...:-)
PS - suggestion - does it have a function for the rare college student that shuns facebook? What about an input field for a "student ID" code -- but security might be an issue created there.
PPS - Yes, John...I called you Mr. Gezelius to try and make you feel old...tee hee hee
