Column: Introducing RAMONA QUIMBY, AGE 38

(01/12/04 5:00am)

Add/Drop period is a time of nearly limitless potential for Duke students. It is a beautiful epoch, when everyone can take whatever courses they like, designing schedules that suit their needs. Some students elect to pursue their academic dreams, taking only courses that engage and excite them, courses taught by dedicated and sincere professors. RAMONA QUIMBY, AGE 38 admires this method, and thinks that this is a great way to get shoved in a locker and have your lunch money taken. Others pick their schedules according to some arcane and specific conception of the ideal schedule (e.g. no classes before noon, no classes on Fridays, no humanities courses on prime-numbered dates).
