...fans to classes on video. In case we didn't give you anything to chew on, we hope that you at least got a laugh or learned something about a class you happened not to attend. Hope you enjoy whatever you ended up putting on the piece of paper that you had to submit to the Registrar's Office (which apparently hasn't heard of the Internet).

The bathroom tissue we currently employ, Georgia Pacific’s “Preference”, is available at 76¢ per roll and Charmin’s “Ultra Soft”, a bathroom tissue befitting a patrician, is a reasonable 83¢ per roll.
