Carnegie Mellon junior electrical and computer engineering Major Kermin Elliott Fleming has won the 2004 Jeopardy College Championship. Fleming defeated contestants from Dickinson College and Williams College in the two-day final round, held Nov. 23-24, to take home the $100,000 grand prize. Who plans to donate 10 percent of the winnings to his church and bank the rest for now, claims that the experience was one of the best of his life. "It was great. It was absolutely wonderful," he said. "I got to meet President George W. Bush once and that was cool. I don't know if this goes above that or not."
