I believe that the people who call in bomb threats to colleges are not the
ones who give money to the schools.  Most likely it is their parents who
give the money.  Either that or grants and loan officers.

I've met very few people who are actually paying for school themselves, in
cash.  Well check.  But one of these days, I'm going to walk into the
bursars office and pay for the next semesters tuition in a stack of $20s.
