This is a nicely written article from a Campus Spotlight, by Michael Kearl, Professor and Chair of Sociology and Anthropology at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, USA.

Quote:
I am a philatelist. It is a confession that I make on first days of classes. With the announcement, students share stares and shift uneasily in their seats. This reinforces me to share the fact that I am registered with authorities (my dues are paid to the First Day Cover society) â€" partially in hopes that some parent will receive the news, become irate, and communicate his or her discontent to my University’s administration that such predators should never be allowed in the classroom.


Quite enjoyable.
