What, President Bush wasn't available?

As if raising $20 mil before he'd been in office a month wasn't amazing enough, now High Point University President Nido Qubein has lined up Rudy Giuliani to be the first graduation speaker of HPU's NQ era.

That will shine more national attention on High Point.

You know, it wouldn't surprise me if Nido talked Rudy into making a donation to the school while he's here.

By the way, this breaks a long tradition of HPU's president delivering the commencement address. Yet Nido, who made a fortune with his gift of gab, passes up the gig in order to bring in a huge star like Giuliani.

What next?
