Show The Real Undesirables Anon Anonymous by b Ken B BAre Bjornson Are you an undesirable I am and a good many of you may be and not even know it But how you may ask does one become an undesirable The title is bestowed on those who are caught committing the most grievous crime that can be committed on campus the crime of getting a parking ticket Now why does getting a parking ticket class classify y one as an undesirable Let me explain It was the start of summer quarter and I had parked in the parking lot just south of the Administration Building to run in to get a hair cut Upon returning to my car I found I was the recipient of a parking ticket Looking around to see if anyone else had been ticketed I spotted the officer who was issuing the tickets I grabbed the ticket and ran down to him and asked Why the ticket He looked at it then explained that my parking sticker had expired three weeks ago and that I was in violation of the law My attempt to persuade him to 4 reconsider was fruitless My argument was that the parking lot didn't have enough cars to fill in one row never the less I was in violation of the law Then he added The purpose for parking tickets is to keep out the undesirables undesirables' I have been an undesirable for two years now still going to school Dont Don't tell the traffic officers though it might upset them to know that they haven't kept this undesirable out There is a cliche that says it takes one to know one Having been an undesirable these past two years has allowed me to pick out many undesirables here on campus Some of you may have met them and will know what I am amx x talking about Once finals are completed it takes between two to four weeks before grade reports are sent out Why does it take this school such a long time to get grade reports out to the students Other schools with double the send out grade reports the week eek after finals are over I am involved in a tuition reimbursement program which requires the fin final i grade as proof of course completion I tried having my instructors send my grades to me after they were compiled however the very first time I received grades for someone named Barbara It may take a while but I believe that some day the administration will realize that it does not need to take so long to process grades and send them out The long wait for grade reports is only superseded by the time it takes the book store to reorder more text books When it runs out of a text book that you need for class ask someone who works there when the next shipment will arrive The response will always be In two wee weeks Once two weeks lasted the whole quarter It would be a simple process for those in charge of the bookstore book bookstore bookstore store to get a list from the registration office containing the number of students in each class then match that number up with the number of text books on hand and if there is a difference make the necessary adjustments Sounds simple but making students wait the never ending two weeks is much easier With so many undesirables undesirables' here on campus maybe we could start a new club THE UNDESIRABLES ANONYMOUS In order to be a member all one would have to do is get a parking ticket Maybe we could get the Campus Police as advisors For a club motto we could use the cliche It takes one to know one |
