 You cross the hall and enter your office. Settling back in your $1500 patent leather desk chair, you pick up the phone and hit the PB button on your autodialer.

 "Hello, Mr. President," comes the immediate reply.

 You've never really taken to Paul Bottis, but as Director of Physical Plant, you respect him for his ruthlessness, and the fear and resentment he inspires in his employees. Also, he always gives you the urge to play Donkey Kong.A

 "Hey, Paul," you say, "I heard you've got some ideas about exploiting the students to raise money."

 "Oh, yes, we're quite proud. As of last week, any toll-free calls made from campus have a $1 surcharge attached to them. This means many thousands of dollars coming from student wallets into our department. Not to mention the student organizations. More SAF for us, eh?"

 "Sounds like a great plan. How do you plan to slip it by everyone?"

 "Well, we're going to mention it in one place: that little red pamphlet that nobody reads. The beauty part is, they're only sent to freshmen. Other students have to wait to find out," he chuckles.B

 You are filled with pride in your University. "Gosh darn it, Paul," you exclaim, "Do you realize that we have the Enterprise system to thank for this? Greed inspires this kind of forward-looking innovation, and all because every little department in the whole school is in competition with each other!"

 "Well, that's our job: to raise money for ourselves," Bottis says modestly.

 "I think if we organized, we could get more of the SAF than we ever dreamed. I'm going to put together a committee to generate strategies for this. I'd like you to be on it."

 "Why, it would be an honor."

 "Thanks, Paul."

 You head over to Mike Dennis' office to delegate.
