Who says the administration doesn’t like to listen to Northwestern students? Okay, you do. I mean, Morty got us an ice rink, but when is it ever open, and who uses it besides Evanston kids and their parents? But maybe the admins do listen to us more than we think. The Undergraduate Budget Priorities Committee asked administrators last year to support a speakers series that would bring big names to campus, and voilà, this year we have the Contemporary Thought Speaker Series. Harvard psychology professor Steven Pinker was selected to give the inaugural speech next Tuesday, February 20; you can purchase free tickets for the event starting today at the Norris Box Office. With the news that the admins take student input seriously, we needed to ask you, loyal readers, what six-figure celebrities you’d want to bring to campus. Some of the answers were expected big players: President Obama, Beyoncé, Jon Stewart. And then some of you suggested students who, let’s be serious, could hardly command six figs. Check out all of the answers in an easy-to-digest graphic after the jump.
