...self-caricature, the rhinoceroid slob in housecoat and curlers who hasn't seen her feet since grade school, is not even a fun-house mirror image of reality. She is a good-looking, brown-haired woman (though the hair color varies according to whim) who is, if not gaunt, at any rate acceptably trim at 5 ft. 2 in. and 127 Ibs. Is it a surprise that her daughter Betsy, 30, and her sons Andrew, 28, and Matthew, 25, have lost their baby teeth?

Nearly every course taught by the Faculty (except discussion classes) employs TF's to lead once-a-week discussion meetings, grade tests, and hold office hours. Professors hire their own staffs--a task which, for some larger courses, means finding 20 to 25 knowledgeable grad students--and expect them to devote an average of ten hours a week...
