The idea is to avoid bidding wars for students accepted by more than one college, and to ensure that institutions are similarly interpreting financial information submitted by parents.

But for someone who looks so disdainfully on the Freudian philosophy, Barker just can't seem to grasp the fact that the world does not revolve around his penis. While his academic work is on the cutting edge of his field, his brain--and his body--are still operating in a 1950s mode...
