Calvin Cuius, the science major, stop-
ped by to talk to me the other day. We
talked about the weather, and campus
gossip, and when the conversation in-
evitably turned towards the number of
bones in a cat’s paw, Cal said “I’ve had
a really bad, but typical day.”
“If you write about it,” he added,
“maybe people would realize how hard
science majors work and give us a little
respect.” Cal asked me to write this story
with my own words, since, as he is a
science major, his literary communication
skills are not very highly developed.
One fine day, after waking up too ear-
ly, even though it was time to get up
anyway, Cal went to his 8:00 class, Bio-
Statistical Electronic Analyses, for the big
exam.
Dr. Throatslitter, the professor who
taught Bio-Statistical Electronic Analyses,
thought that a good test was one in which
all but 3% of the class failed. Cal manag-

Danton did not fully appreciate the genius
of comparing the Oresteia of Sophocles
to the Krebs-Citric Acid cycle of
metabolism. “I thought it was pretty in-
novative,” said Cal. “D + ,” said Dr.
Danton.
In philosophy, Dr. Priori could not
follow Cal’s discussion of Plato’s Cave
and the World of Forms as being similar
to visible light and the electromagnetic
spectrum: “I’m sorry, Mr. Cuius, but that
simply makes no sense to me. I believe

Perhaps the worst part about LAB for
Cal was the glassware. “You know,” he
mused while standing by the sink,
washing beakers and things, “I’ve broken
every kind of glassware in this lab once,
except this priceless buret.”
However, as he lifted the buret, he
banged his elbow on the lab desk, and the
buret flew from his hands in a beautiful
parabolic path, and shattered on the floor.
“Congratulations, Cuius!” said Dr.
Throatslitter. “You’ve just passed the

“Cal, don’t you everstop??!!” she ask-
