***SIGH***

Pretty sad commentary on Public Schools . . . I went to a Private
University, and graduated in 3 1/2 years with a BS AND a BA . . . 

 . . . I held 2 full-time and 1 part-time jobs, maintained sufficient
grades to hold a scholarship . . . and (oddly enough) it never
occurred to me to beg for money from complete strangers.  Even my
scholarship was brought to me, I did NOT go looking for it . . . 

I guess it's true, either the public universities are but a pale
imitation of REAL universities, or this guy needs to stop by Sears,
and buy himself some intestinal fortitude . . . Can I hear comments
from my State University Brothers?  Which do YOU think it is?
