“Why limit it to something that pedestrian? If the biggest thing you’ve picked up here this quarter is how long it takes the signal light at Forty-third and University to change, write a paper about it.I hope that some of you’ve picked up a few things a bit more interesting, but that’s up to you. I’m looking for thought content, gang. You’re supposed to be here to learn how to think, and I’m supposed to teach you how to think on paper. Let’s find out if we’ve all done what we’re here for.”

“That’s awfully unspecific, Mr. Austin,” a girl near the front objected. “I know,” I agreed. “I’m leaving it wide-open on purpose. That puts the ball in your court. Go for it, and give it your best shot-and about five hundred of your best words. You might want to think it overbefore ten-thirty next Monday evening. I don’t want to spoil any of your plans, but you should probably know that a half hour paper’s likely to get you a half hour grade-if you get my drift? Take a little time with this one. Let’s bump up the old grade-point average, shall we?”
