sees a student breaking a rule he will come to him and say: “Are you a member of the University, sir?”,
and if a student runs away, then “Bulldogs” run after him and if they catch him (they are chosen, it is said,
because they are good runners), fine him.
Apart from fines a student may be dismissed from the University for one term.
3) In what case is “Boredom Button” pushed?
In most schools and universities teachers give their students marks for their work. All students hate
a “D” and are happy if their teacher gives them an “A”. Now at one American University both the
students AND the lecturers must work hard if they want good marks.
During classes the students give their lecturers marks. Each desk is equipped with a “Boredom
button”. If a student thinks that the lecture is boring he can press the special button. When he does
this, a light at the back of the classroom is switched on. There is one light there for every student. The
lecturer can look at the lights and he can see if his students think the class is interesting or boring. The
lecturer can't see which students are pressing the buttons. So, the students can be completely honest. If
too many lights come at the back of his class, a lecturer knows that he must do something quickly and
make the class more interesting.
