Instead of promising to repay the money, the future sociology major is trying to motivate givers by offering them a souvenir. "If you will send me $2.50 in the next week or so, I will send you a piece of my graduation gown," he promises, in a kind of collegiate variation on relics of the cross. "For $3.50, you get a piece...
