What's more, the University should continue a well-thought out policy of spending its hard-won Campaign loot on building up existing programs and facilities. The specific goals of the Campaign are basically three-fold: raising money for student aid, faculty salaries, and renovating the dorms and other buildings. New buildings, facilities, and programs--which often pack unforseen costs--are notably absent from the drive's shopping lists.

Bank tellers keep the funny money in their cash drawers and slip it into a robber's bag along with the other loot. An electronic beam at the bank doors trips the detonator as the money is carried outside, and the hidden package explodes within...
