College degrees

And what
they really

 

 

The following is an
excerpt from
http://winn.com/bs/d
egreeshtml about
what degrees mean.

Psychology

College - Spend most of
your time in a dimly-
lit lab, playing with
rats and other
vermin. Drink Jolt by
the six-pack to stay
up all night with the
rodents. Interact only
with other psychos.
but only to analyze
their behavior in
nonlab situations.
Become involved in
the continuing
debate over whether
a trained rat could
succeed as a
computer science
major.

Real life - Spend most
of your time in an
unemployment line
and living in a
cardboard box with
other vermin, wishing
you'd changed to CS
instead of the rat.
Continue to consider
yourself superior to
social work majors.

 

Economics

College - Spend most of
your time in a
brightly—lit room full
of charts and graphs.
Learn about supply
and demand. GNP,
supply and demand.
prime rates, supply
and demand, inflation
and supply and
demand.

Real Life — Spend most
of your time in a
brightly-lit
government office
with people who look
just like you. issue
reports you wrote in
college because
you're too lazy to
write a new one.
Watch newscasters
explain your report
to unsuspecting
viewers. Listen to the
president explain
that the economy
sucks because of
unemployed
psychologists.

 

Math

College - Spend your
time in a cramped
office, thinking about
polydimensional
shapes and arguing
their properties with
other
mathematicians.
Scream when they
steal your work.
Steal their work. Be a
social outcast.

Real life - See above.
You work for the
university.

The lack of effort put
into today's rail is
brought to you in
part by the virus that
has caused the couch
and me to become
better acquainted.

Musical chairs: UK Opera Theater uses
off-campus facility because of lower costs

By Sonya Lichtenstein

When member of UK‘s Opera
Theater look at the cost of rent-
ing the Singletary Center notes
sour in their throats.

Using the Singletary Center
for a concert or special program
can cost more than renting the
Lexington Opera House.

“There is an Opera House
fund that art organizations can
take advantage of when they use
the Opera House," said Everett
McCorvey, the director of the UK
Opera Theater. “When we do a
show there we are eligible for the
grant."

The opera fund pays for 80
percent of the cost,

McCorvey said.

Though the base price to use
the Singletary Center is lower
than the Opera House, other
costs add up quickly.

The cost of hiring help can be
$1,000 for small. non-ticketed pro
ductions.

But costs can skyrocket if an
organization is holding a profit-
making, ticketed event. The Lex-
ington Opera House charges a
flat rate. The $2,000 rental fee
gives organizations access to the
entire house plus the use of all
equipment.

The Opera House doesn't
charge rental fees to university
groups, so they pay only the cost
of the hired help plus the addi~
tional cost of renting what light-

the house.

Though Singletary Center
costs run high. there is little the
center can do to bring the cost
down.

“We are very strictly regulat-
ed by cost accounting standards
because we‘re a service center.”
said Holly Salisbury, director of
the Singletary Center.

Forty percent of the Single-
tary business is through the UK
School of Music. All other events
taking place at the center are
sponsored by UK or are pro-
grams by area schools.

McCorvey said UK Opera
Theater still uses the Singletary
Center for concerts even though
the Opera House would be cheap»

The UK Opera Theater uses
the Singletary Center for con-

The Lexington Opera House attracts major musical shows like
