GIBSON GIRL: ...NEXT on our CAMPUS TOUR, we'll visit the MAVIS P. JOHNSON LEARNING CENTER.
FATHER: "Learning center?"
GIBSON GIRL: It's like a--what other schools might call a BUILDING, except instead of classrooms, it's got MODULES.
For example, the JANICE S. BYERTON ARTS & LETTERS MODULE, the LAWRENCE N. SANDERS MODULE FOR MUSIC, the CHESTER & DORIS CODBERG MODULE FOR THE STUDY OF MODULAR EDUCATION.
VERY popular module.
GIBSON GIRL: Do you know your MAJOR HERMAN B. BELKNAPP MAJOR yet?
FATHER: We're still undecided.
GIBSON GIRL: Great--so let me show you the WILFRED Q. & BARBARA K. WADDLESWORTH-STOATES RETREAT FOR ACADEMIC CONTEMPLATION & PERSONAL SELF-ACTUALIZATION!
[[The "retreat" is a chair perched on top of a stool, with a plaque leaning against it.]]
STUDENT: I want to major in Making Inscribed Plaques.
GIBSON GIRL: VERY big industry right now.
