Eeek! A Geek
</hdr><body>
<p>By Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
</p>
<p> 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?
