Good academic year start

The new movie "Accepted," which seems destined to make something of lead Justin Long, as Bartleby Gaines, hit theaters right before the start of the 2006-2007 academic year and hit it well.

Long, who has appeared in "The Break Up," "Dodgeball" and a nationallly aired television commercial, is the catalyst in this misfits to geniuses movie, which puts the eye on traditional American-style higher education. There's no shame in self-examination, so this is one today's college and university administrators should catch if they haven't already.

It's a good one -- one with meaning beyond the current curriculums, lessons and assignments of this academic year.
