Good omens abound for the brand shining new acadmic year! Last week's teachers' meeting was the shortest on record, there was no shouting, and the refreshments, courtesy of the loveable Mr Rosiak, sadly no longer with us, in the sense that he's not working at College, not the sense that's he's dead, which he isn't, as far as I know, were of an exceptional standard.
The real excitement centred on the widely expected decision to reduce the number of English groups from seven to six. This has been done in order to enable the staff to give more personal attention to the individual students. As one happy methodologist put it: 'Our students are such wonderful people; I'm so pleased I'll be able to spend more time with each of them now.'
One cloud over this gathering came in the form of the student questionnaires. An incredible two or three people had actually bothered to fill them in, which speaks volumes about the level of dedication of the members of the College. Sadly, one or two responses were not entirely positive. It seems many students are, quite rightly in my opinion, unhappy that the staff do not organise their social lives for them.It has always been a fundamental part of the college teacher's job to take his young charges out on the town and get fifteen pints of lager down their throats before dropping in on a strip club, stealing some road signs, losing some clothing and waking up in a Police cell. That's student life and the refusual of certain staff members to provide it for the current generation of learners is an absolute disgrace.
Naturally, that fount of resourcefulness, mgr Jan Dutka, was quick to announce a raft of measures. Every class will be invited to an 8 a.m. 'Beer for Breakfast' party in the aula. This will be followed by pot smoking and intellectual discussion in the library around midday. The serious action will kick-off after classes at 8 p.m. with the 'Cocktail of the Day' served by the cleaning staff and followed by a range of vodkas, beers and fine wines, all at the College's expense. From midnight, keys to individual classrooms will be available to 'courting couples'. These rooms will come complete with matresses, contraceptives and a range of other 'novelty items' for your pleasure. At last, student life in the College will really take off. Enjoy it!
