    We could have NASDAQ quarters. One for each company that lists on the NASDAQ. Hm. Could be some money in this!

    Or, perhaps Nascar quarters. One for each driver. Or crew member.

    If the mint wanted to be really smart and make billions for the treasury, they'd sell advertising space on the reverse side of our coinage.

    The real money will be made in advertising on toilet paper.

    And then we can show them what we really think of their products.

    I'd rather see "The Dreck" publish cartoons drawn by students than the cartoons from the syndicates.

    And what's with all the reprinted articles from the New York Times?

    Back in my day we had REPORTERS! Some of whom actually graduated....

    Do they still publish the alterna-rag monday/thursday?

    Dang. 46% female these days.

    That's at least 25% higher than when I was there.

    (Although it did bring back memories - the only time my mug made The Dreck was during R/O as a freshman.)

    And yeah. Did seem a bit light on real reporting - scary as it sounds, the student writers were some of the most well known and easily identifiable people on campus back then. Musta been the lack of a football team.
