...this kind of forgiveness and leniency that only serves to encourage French prisoners to fly the coop, like the three who escaped from Draguignan prison when a friend landed a helicopter in the middle of the courtyard and flew them out. While many French prisons install nets to prevent just such an escape, the lack of standardized, rigorous security measures meant that this prison was not required to have such a net. These structural faults are just symptomatic of the poor planning, weak discipline and general apathy that pervades the French correctional system...
Once the daydream vanishes, however, reality welcomes me with the semester’s required texts that would pay for about fifty books I’d actually read voluntarily. “Reality,” of course, being the blatantly overpriced, overweight, overwhelming stacks of textbooks the Coop and the Science Center genially offer us every semester and which we tote home, gasping as we lug those slick white and red bags back to our rooms, where they will sit on our bookshelves—and, with luck, be read in the next few days before the midterms...
You’ve racked up an ABP bill to rival your Coop bill and you just can’t afford one more sandwich...

But high turnout would clearly be a mandate for more events like this one—even at a financial loss to the council...
