A Rare Adventure in
fThe Land of Academiat
Sitting in one of my important 400 level courses WednesdayG
afternoon, a most astonishing thing happened. It may look like ar
legend or a contrived situation, but I swear the incident is as true
as the heart that relates it. (See photo below)c
I was sitting in a lecture of about 50 kids next to this really good
looking girl who- I had never sat next to before and had nevert
noticed or known either.
Five minutes after the class started, when I was just delvingl
into my repertoire of tine-passing day dreams trying to find a
suitable one, the blond turned, looked me square in the face and
said "Smile!" I thought she was talking to the girl on the left t
of me so I leaned back in my chair to allow them to continue.
Amaflingly, she said it again,-looking straight at me.
"I beg your pardon," I said, quickly looking around the roomt
to see if something funny was going on that I had missed. She said
it again so I asked her why I should smile.-
"Just because no one ever does it around here."t
I tried to oblige but produced only a weak and sickly grin.
In the meantime, others in the class gave us the old "Shut up,
this isn't the UGLI" look and,=after regaining my cool, I pulled out
a sheet of paper and scribbled. "Do people smile in other classes??"
She almost grabbed the paper out of my hand and answered
"not since October, 1966: There was a funny teacher in one class c
and one day three people smiled. They were immediately 'sus-
pended."3
My face sort of contracted and a little sound emerged from it.
"Watch out-you're doing it!" she penned hastily,
The teacher stared at me again and the blond noticed. and wrote
. 's funny, isn't he? Depending on how you look at things Ii
guess)." It was a Sociology class and the prof had spent two thirdsI
of the lectures trying to prove that he had a sociologically normal
relationship with his wife.3
I answered, "He has a funny manner about him. But my GRADE
Isn't even slightly amusing, a 19 (C-) on the mid-term. So WHY ;
should I smile??"
"I got a 21," she volunteered. "Most of the brilliant people
in the course got low scores. But who cares?"
Sensing a chance to be impressive, I wrote, "If I had cared, I
might have glanced at the reading."
She thought I was depressed; "I even read it all, and still got
21. Think of all the time you saved."
"You're just not as brilliant as me!" I scrawled.
"Wrong. I'm more brilliant because if I had done no reading
would have gotten a lower score than you. Remember the
negative correlation between score and brilliance."
Beaten, I acceded. "Your logic has me dumbfounded! fits im-
peccable."
"What does that mean," she said and drew a little arrow. Hastily
I drew a line from "Who cares?" down to her question. She elaborated
"I only spend my time learning important thing. Thus my ignorance
of implccable and score'of 21 "
Since it was a Soc. class and I capitalized to try and get cute.
"Sounds like your values' differ from the norm somewhat."
"One Hell of a lot . . . Sory, this was an intentional breech of
norms." She circled the word "hell." "I feel ashamed and/or guilty."
I changed the subject. "Youve wre'cked this class for me. I had
planned to pay attention for the first time in six weeks. And now
r can't!"
Wiser than I, she had the last word and was delightfully
close to the truth. "Don't put me on. If it weren't for me you'd
be asleep!!"
My roommate had the real last word though, when I told him
what had happened. "It could never happen to me," he explained,
"because I never go to class"
