Academic Rebellion

Dear Editor,

We with to inform all students of INFO 256 that an alternative unofficial tutorial will be given an Monday's from 1 to 2. These tutorials will be given by Philip R. Gibb (not actually a tutor more like a student of INFO 256, but he really knows quite alot about it, honest, I mean he's done project I and how many other people have? He's also got a copy of KNUTH (God?) which is really amazing (bloody boring actually but how can you put down the messiah of the western world?)

This rebellious state of affairs comes about because of the time of the present tutorial 4-5 on Monday's, which is too late considering most of us finish our other classes by 12 or earlier. Of the 6 that attended the first tut. 3 would go to the alternative tut, and 2 of the others could go. A further 6 who didn't bother to go would go to the alternative time.

The tutor after being informed of this didn't even look into the possibility of an earlier tutorial. When informed of our plight he ever replied "Oh what a shame" in the typically sarcastic way of an inhuman android that seems to take over, the body of most people associated with the INFO department. Another example of lack of smypathy and human emotion that is plagueing the world today, inherent in any policy of fiscal mismanagement or stoichiometric reduction. This tutor also refused to give a "Poppu Niblet" to anyone who answered his questions correctly. He displayed the articles in question in front of us in a most wanton and lascivious manner calculated to destroy our spirit, the fiend.

If this alternative tutorial is a success Phillip R. Gibb has plans for an alternative lecture series for Math 231 (Mr Chong tries his best but he doesn't really make that great an impression, (understatement of the century?) and then maybe an alternative political party, government, world superpower, God. Anyway all you info students turn up, it might be to your benefit.
