Southern schools have hookers on the cheer squad for the school visit.  Just sayin'.

I'll admit that I was a clueless nerd in high school.  I'd scored quite well on the standardized tests, as did we all who made it to Cornell, and I received lots of mailings from colleges.  The one that really baffled me was a big picture postcard from some southern school showing a row of coeds in bathing suits sitting on a diving board at a swimming pool.  The words on the other side were as skimpy as the bathing suits, and included no mention of the academic program.  Since the education was why I planned to go to college, I just didn't grasp the point of the postcard.

As a HS junior I got a "return this for your diploma" brochure from Pepperdine.  Now if you have seen Pepperdine you know their campus is jaw-droppingly beautiful.  They are the Pebble Beach of universities. 



And because of the demo (southern California, Fundies without a brain in their pretty little heads) the campus is not all that is amazing.

In a 32-page brochure with pictures of their undergrads in various poses and activities on every page, there was not a single book.  God I wish I had kept that.  When people say schools today merely market T&A to their students I always think back to 1979.  I assume it was the same in 1959 too.  And 1939. 

You gotta set the tone.
