The fellow working behind the counter, john smith, tells you that your check hasn"t arrived. You mutter to yourself about the inefficiency of bureaucracies as you leave the building. On your way out, you encounter sam johnson, the president of the university. Although you don"t really know him, he waves at you and you wave back. He seems friendly enough, although you"ve heard many stories to the contrary. You start back through the campus to the classroom building. You pause for a moment to watch the college marching band rehearsing for.
