Dear Doctor Science, I've heard you mention liberal arts majors. Are there conservative arts majors? What do they study?

-- Jim D from Ansonia, CT --------------------------------------------------------------

Conservative arts majors go into arts management, and eventually become the tools of those big corporations that dabble with supporting the arts in order to enhance their public image. Most of them haven't got an artistic bone in their body, couldn't come up with an original idea if their lives depended on it, and would be just as happy in finance, but weren't able to become business majors when they failed Accounting I. Many are Young Republicans. When I was in college, "Up With People"surfaced as a conservative backlash to the hippie movement, and most of them are now approaching retirement as loan officers or past presidents of failed savings and loans.
