Fellow Students,

Don't log onto college.movielink.com between September 15th and October 15th. Sure, high-speed, reliable downloads of your favorite movies seems like a great idea. But what about the message those films send? The people at Movielink want you to watch movies like American Pie, a film rife with drunken behavior, sexual deviancy, and a very unsanitary display involving food. Choose education over entertainment. Don't be lured in by the prizes. Granted, 'the ultimate PC entertainment system' sounds great, but think of the distraction. Up all night, es watching movies, playing games, people stopping by with booze. Is that really how you want to spend your college years?

When the vessel sinks, he is left to survive on a lifeboat in the company of a Bengal tiger, a hyena, an orangutan, and a zebra. In the end, all are disposed of, save for Pi and the tiger.
