Dear Sir/Madam:
 
Could you please post the following message on your network.

WANTED: YOUR ANECDOTES ON ACADEMIC ABSURDITIES
 
 
We are compiling a collection of absurdities in academe to be
included in a
book entitled ACADEMIC DISNEYLAND and would like to invite your
anecdotes.
An absurdity, for purposes of this compilation, includes anything
that: (a)
simply does not make sense (b) could only happen in academe (c)
runs counter
to what is referred to as common sense, or (d) is downright funny.
 
Absurdities may relate to teaching, research, service, faculty,
students or
(last, but certainly not the least) administration (and of course,
administrators).  We encourage all contributors to change the names
of the
individuals and institutions in order to maintain
anonymity--unless, of
course, the contributor nurses a deep-rooted malice and an
uncontrollable
urge to malign.
 
You may contribute as many anecdotes as you would like provided
they are
received by April 15, 1995.
 
Strict confidentiality is assured.  All contributions will be
acknowledged.
 
Please e-mail your responses to [log in to unmask]  or fax them to
(716) 375-2191 Attention:  Dr. A.R. Korukonda/Dr. J.G. Watson,
Department of
Management Sciences.
 
Thank you.  Long Live the Academy!!
