Why not pay me $5000 a year? This is the question I have put to countless–well, two–scholarship committees since early April. Neither committee has, as of yet, bothered to respond.

Now, unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past six months, you’ve probably heard of me, but if you haven’t, I’d like to take this opportunity to remedy that fact. My name is Jacob A. Ganz, and as they say in show biz, I’m about to explode. [con't]
