Every year, Beloit College publishes a list of points to keep in mind about the world view of new students. The original intention of the list was to aid instructors in relating to their students, but it is now an annual event for national newspapers. USA Today published the list last week.
Any item on this list is an opportunity for an op-ed piece or an interview with an instructor. Heck, what about the differences between this year's freshmen and this year's senior class? Those four years make the difference of whether a person might personally remember the fall of the Berlin Wall!
A list like this is also an opportunity to consider your paper's demographics. What's popular with the 'new kids'? And what doesn't matter?
