Section 4 Odds n' Ends

The Anithinator, MBA1

Issue date: 12/9/02 Section: Student Life
Economics - In reviewing the Immortal Beloved/Dumb and Dumber example, Tej Shah wins the most profound comment award with this question: "Why are they better off, when 5 is less than 10?" to which Dr. Lafontaine answered (very helpfully), "Because 5 is less than 10." Econ was fairly uneventful, since much of the section apparently crashed Section 4's class (Deuce, how dare you?!). But things soon took a dramatic turn when Dr. Lafontaine pointed out the absence of price on a Cournot graph and nearly sent Sunil Thakur into a coma. Luckily, price's return on the Bertrand graph calmed him down, possibly saving his life.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my day with the Deuce. I did some great networking and I'm pretty hopeful for a spot on their closed-list at interview time. I'll definitely hang (or spar) with those guys again. But I missed you a great deal, Daddies, so I'm glad to be back in the loudest section, the section that LUV built, Section 4!

Final Exam Review
For those who haven't done much studying since mid-terms, I've summarized some of the key points made in each of our core classes. These statements were all made by our professors, unless otherwise indicated. Put these wise sayings on your cheat sheets, and you're guaranteed a low pass or higher in every subject!!

Accounting
* "How is this useful? It's not, but it's really cool!"
* "There is much more action in the bottom bed."
* "Maybe we sold the shares for chickens, not cash. Unlikely, but possible. Of course, in that event you should debit poultry, not cash."
* "If you have no idea what earnings are when you finish this class, then my work is done."
Economics
* "It's a dry cleaning collusion!!"
* "But can't they tell that you're a woman on the phone?" (Anitha Chalam)
* "Try buying a Christmas ornament on December 23rd and see how far you get. Not that I buy ornaments." (Jason George)
* "$10,000 can make for a nice long evening."
