UW students to hit the road (WSJ, 06-02-05)

UW-Madison graduating senior Joe Maldonado is passing up the chance to earn a double-major this summer, preferring a long bus ride with 35 other students to the last sociology class he needs. But it’s not just any bus trek. Maldonado’s collegiate coup de grace will be a 3,000 mile trek across the American Southwest, starting today and ending June 16, for 15 days of nearly non-stop history come to life.
