Now, after four years, I think he spoke the truth except he neglected to add rich alumni to his preferred persons list. The Hill ( God bless its little rise) is a nice place that deals in physical things. Rarely is there any student movement, except on the weekends. In four years in and around the school, I have never seen a fight, rarely heard anyone raise their voice in the cafeteria, never observed any student curse or even violently disagree with a professor or an administrator. SMU is nice. When the alumni or the administrators decide they want something different, the edict comes down. We don't make a mess (for the janitor's sake.) We don't even bitch. Nobody makes trouble, and nobody makes a difference. We just act nice, proper, polite, decorous and STUPID. We are paying an outrageous amount to do, not to be told what to do, so make trouble, dammit. For four years we've got this insulated opportunity to make mistakes, to experience. SMU is run with bluffs. Let's call their bluff. Let's make this school into what we want. If that doesn't work, we can always change it again. The administrators are only so much hired help. This university is their job, it's our home. What SMU needs is a big hit of anarchy! When the administration does something you don't like, don't go bitch at the President. Do something effective, like park your bike and all your friends bikes in his office or his parking space or his tennis court. What can they do to you? Take away your birthday? Just create enough chaos that dear old "Womb-of-the-Southwest" SMU gets upset and something will change. And even if you can't control the final response of the administration, it will be a helluva lot more interesting university to live in. Be a person, not a nice guy, exert your will.

After all, you wouldn't be here reading this nifty book, if it weren't for at least a pretense of academia. We haven't described everything that will has sle you, but we tried our best. And even if it's not helpful, it's fun. THE ADD-DROP GAME So you didn't know 5331 was a senior or graduate level course, and you liked the title, Sex as a Second Language? The vocabulary too technical? Drop it! Sounds simple, doesn't it? It's not. You're in for the hassle of your freshman year, outdone only by registration. First, pick up an add-drop slip from the regis trar, 110 Perkins Administration Building ( next door to Mcfarlin Auditorium, behind the Stu dent Center.) Simple enough. Then find your advisor and get him to sign it. After that, you've got to figure out what school you're in and get your dean to sign it. Not enough, by God, now you've got to find the person who teaches Sex as a Second Language and explain your posi tion and talk him or her into signing this little slip of paper. Hassled enough? Too bad, because now you got to take the signed slip back to Perkins, but this time to the cashier right down the hall from the registrar's office. Shell out 4 worthless American dollars and let them sign it. Now, the game ends when you take the worn out slip ( minus the cashier's copy) back to the registrar. 9 ADVANCE PLACEMENT CREDIT Some of the rules: 1 ) You may usually drop I know you had seven years of Siberian rein with a WP ( withdraw passing) unless you deer calling in high school and you don't want really messed up, and you bothered the teacher to take it again as an L.S. course.

Talk to your instructor about it before dropping; quirement. Why not test out of it? 2) You may not drop after the last day of You can get credit and get out of taking an classes ( but you might take an Incomplete); 3) unneeded course. However, the program is If you have to drop a course because the regis more involved than this book can cover , so call trar or some other administrative help screwed Ext.
