In Our Lovely Deseret...

This is one of the more amusing things I've seen in awhile: ""Last winter semester we had the highest marriage rate at BYU," said Meghan MacAskill, assistant manager of the Elms Apartments." I think they should take out full page ads in the DU with just that statement.

Of course, one wonders where they got their info. Did someone actually run a formal comparative study? Perhaps church membership keeps track of marriage rates by BYU ward for some reason. Or perhaps the manager is just relying on anecdotal evidence, and the DU doesn't bother fact-checking. Either way, I think someone in the School of Family Life should publish a paper or two.
