CLASSROOM BREAK
Since a number of UD's readers have now forwarded to her for consideration the story of the physics professor in Louisiana who went berserk during class , UD will explain why she had not planned on blogging about it. UD had already seen the article herself, during one of her obsessive searches online for university-related news. She had even printed the article, thinking maybe she'd have something to say about it. But just as UD did not blog about the professor who has a record of getting into her car and seemingly deliberately running over bicyclists (don't have time to include the link this morning - I'll find it later), so UD didn't blog on the subject of this man, about whom there is not much to say of relevance to university life. There is probably a good deal to say about him of relevance to mental life - how we remain sane, the mechanisms and circumstances by which we lose our minds - but this is University Diaries, not Diaries of a Madman. |
