...travel time. Nevertheless, for those who are routinely late, we have come up with several solutions, each better than any that we’ve heard proposed thus far. Instead of increasing travel time across the board or lengthening classes, we could instead adopt a cellular service style pay-per-minute lateness plan. Is Expos in your five? Or maybe we could borrow CNN’s hologram technology, such that we could be beamed into lecture each morning. If that fails we could switch to “Stanford time,” in which lateness is excused...
