A Day in the Life of an Ole

I decided to do my paper on Sigrid Halvorson, a fictional female student (very, very, very Norwegian), on December 10th, 1906. She double majors in home economics and Vocal Music. Having recently heard about Congress having passed the Safe Food and Drug Act, and having read a shortened version of The Jungle she's bothered by what's apparently been happening in the meat industry.  She plans to sneak out later and smoke with a boy named Jurgis, but she'll have to steal the key to the lady's house first.

  1. Beth, Is she your alter-ego? Be sure to verify that those majors were available at the time. Might she also be checking into food safety on campus? LDL
