PEOPLE, Page 77Eeek! A GeekBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
Being a nerd isn't supposed to be fun, but Harvard junior
Jeremy Kahn may change that. He has founded a campus group called
SONG (Society of Nerds and Geeks) and has preached the gospel of
nerdiness in such forums as CBS This Morning and the Wall Street
Journal. Who might be a patron saint for SONG? Perhaps Mikhail
Gorbachev, who, Kahn says, is both a nerd (studious) and a geek
(nonconformist). Math major Kahn's "classwork is faltering" because
of SONG. Is he in danger of becoming that nemesis of all nerds, a
BMOC?
