New Lechture Hall

This is one of my worst puns. It’s not as bad as this one in a Wall Street Journal headline — the article’s about credit-rating downgrades at universities —

BIG MOAN ON CAMPUS

— but it’s pretty bad.

A campus building in Chicago now bears the name of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate whose Solidarity movement in the ’80s helped trigger communism’s collapse.

Former Polish President Lech Walesa (LEHK vah-WEHN’-sah) spoke Friday at a ceremony at Northeastern Illinois University where the classroom building was named in his honor.

And yes, I’m only running this post to make Mr UD happy.

He’s Polish, in case you didn’t know.
