...first proposal is inspired by the movie "Necessary Roughness" (please bear with me on this one). Remember how the Armadillos (the fictional team in the movie) couldn't find a placekicker?

By portraying the termbill as a purely individual affair, the staff forgets that it represents a common obligation that we as students and beneficiaries are honor-bound, although not required, to bear...
