That's tough one," he says, shaking his head. "I just don't know." McMillan is not sweating over a calculus problem or trying to come up with a thesis for his American Lit essay. He's sitting on the couch of a friend's apart- ment, drinking a Red Dog and watching the Washington Wizards beat the Golden State Warriors on TV. And he's trying to identify a major source of stress in his life. He's stumped. But then who wants to think on a Tuesday night? It isn't that McMillan is lazy. He trans- ferred to JMU last semester after two years at Northern Virginia Community College. On top of a full course load, he works 20 hours a week making Pizzas for Chanello's, and he still finds time to host a weekly funk show on WXJM. Rather, the truth of the matter would no doubt baffle pundits and administrators even though it is news to virtually no one: College, most of the time, just isn't that hard. Ever since novelist Douglas Coupland coined the term "Generation X," the college kids of the '90s have labored under the insulting fallacy that they invented sloth. Just last month, researchers from the University of California at Los Angeles released the findings of a study that sug- gested this year's crop of college freshmen are collectively lazier than any other since the Johnson administration. More of the freshmen surveyed report- ed feeling bored in class, oversleeping and missing class, and drinking at least four times a month than any previous freshman class.
