...somehow, Dartboard doubts that’s going to fly. Instead, the University library system should just get rid of the whole useless process. Keep the guards to check IDs and search the occasional student who sets off the CVS-style anti-shoplifting buzzers. And we should stop there. No more useless bag checks, no more wasted time. Just keep those CVS buzzers up and running to catch the occasional over-avid bookworm.

...dish out $15 an hour for undergraduate subjects, those who want a little bit of our time have to resort to outright bribery. It might be frustrating, but council candidates who have to go door to door handing out cigars or IOP activists who hold dinner discussions that somehow attract a lot of hungry students are just doing what they have to do.
