[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Small college, and a small tour.  Just 2 kids and 2 parents.  The other parent left the tour to take a phone call, and his kid immediately started asking all these very specific questions about underage drinking and drug use.  Like "So, if you're caught with alcohol by the R.A., do they call the campus police or the regular police? and can the campus police arrest you or just put you on probation?  And do they notify your parents?  How?  In writing?  OK, same questions, but cocaine, does that change things?  What's the mandatory sentence in this state for cocaine?  Is it different if you're on a college campus?"  The poor tour guide just kept saying "You know I don't know, I bet there are websites with that kind of information, anyway, did I mention that the printing is free here? That's right you can print up to 100 pages a year!  Totally free!  And I don't even think that's a real limit, because I'm pretty sure my roommate printed like 107 pages and they didn't charge her."

As a side note, I swear every tour we went on included two things.  One was a comment about how the printing was free, like we are supposed to make our decision based on $5.00 worth of printing costs.  The other was they'd stop at one of those blue lights and tell some totally contrived story about how they come really quickly, but the tour guide only knows this because once there was this freshman who was on her way back from the library (always the library, freshmen never leave their dorm rooms for other reasons, apparently) and saw a deer (or other non scary thing) and panicked and the police came so fast!!! They all think they've found this clever way to reassure parents about crime without giving any hint that crime is actually a possibility.[/quote]

Ugh. I was a tour guide, and I hated talking about the blue lights. There was always some dad who would ask some variation of, "What if you get attacked when you're in between the blue lights?" [/quote]
