consider further. Suppose instead of the 315 dollar lump sum, the student paid 1.50 dollars admittance fee for each %&minute lecture. (Mind you, we realize the impossibility of this). The repeated agony of pocketbook depletion could develop in the student a greater awareness of whether or not he was getting his money’s worth, could result in a more -attentive attitude. After all, would you pay to go to a show and then sit in the can all night?
The other day in a class, some of us came to a conclusion not new to the world but though-provoking all the same. Said conclusion is-If a student pays 315 dollars tuition fees for a four month term and has seventeen SO-minute lectures per week for thirteen weeks, then, theoretically, he pays approximately 3 cents per minute of lecture or 1.50 dollars for a fiftyminute dose. This may not astound, but

A stronger demand’ from the taught on the teacher would be evident. That is, if a prof couldn’t communicate, didn’t care, or in some other way failed to produce the equivalent of 1.50 dollar in lecture value, he would find himself with very little on the “collection plate”. Students would go where they could get more for their money. Then, ideally, someone of rank and power, with moderate insight and adequate foresight would give said prof a different job (because he must be good at something, even if he can’t lecture 1 and said prof would be Would you believe it?

I can’t believe the bureaucratic shit I am trying to shovel through at the present. I am trying to quit school ! Yes, quit school! It seems to me that it’s a helluva lot easier to receive admission into U of W than it is to get out. Since august of 1971, I have attempted to leave U of W for the period of one year. First of all, the registrar had no interest (to say the least) in what I did, as long as I quit bugging them. This was shown when I personally

If they are lucky enough to have their own car, they park across University avenue and at midnight have to walk unescorted to their car. Personally I refuse to drive to work and walk over to my car unescorted after midnight, I’ll gladly let the university pay taxifare to and from work. Library

English
Ever wonder why we don’t all speak like a BBC announcer? The answer was given by linguist N. Hultin in his discussion of “Canadian English” with students in Canadian studies on monday . According to “the contamination theory”, our pure and virgin speech was debased by-you guessed it-those Americans. Hutlin claims, however, that we did it all ourselves. Early Canada was not settled by the English aristocracy, but by Irish, Welsh and Scats, who came here with farmers from the north of England. During the last 200 years, the resulting mixture has given us our own way of speaking.
