Savyasci Das is the Hare Krishna Temple president.
Don't be mean, it's Question 14...
Nothing but DHNet.
For which activity would Jack NOT lose his Division of Housing Network access?
A. Setting up a server to broadcast Manson's "The Dope Show" over the Internet.
B. Forwarding an e-mail message from a deaf, blind child with cancer who wants to break the world record for receiving the most postcards before she dies.
C. Checking out porn Web sites while his girlfriend is out of town.
D. Posting a racist message to the KKK discussion group.

The answer: D. Distributing hate isn't against the rules, but if the university thinks Jack is sending excessive chain mail, subjecting others to his musical taste or parking his mouse on Danni's Hard Drive a little too often, he potentially can lose his access to playing chess over the network.

Scratch your bean, it's Question 15...
Bhagavad-Gita, for $500, Alex.
On a stroll through the Plaza of the Americas, Jack notices the plethora of bald people (not including those sport coat-clad preachers with the tiny, green Bibles). After forking out $2 for lunch, Jack talks to one of them. He learns:
A. Gainesville's Hare Krishna commune is one of the largest communities and teaching facilities in the country.
B. They've been serving vegetarian lunches in the Plaza for more than 20 years.
C. Contrary to popular myth, they don't put the food outside to be blessed before it can be served.
D. A and B only.

The Answer: D. Yes, they do try to make the food more saintly, but it is still sanitary assure the Krishnas. The cooks don't use mushrooms, onions or garlic, for religious reasons. Likewise, they go heavy on the dairy to show respect for their god, who was a cow herder. Now, if Jack could just figure out how to pronounce the name of that Bhagavad book.

Peachy keen, it's Question 16...
We Know What You Did Last Semester
No one in Jack's fraternity has taken the course he is thinking about registering for next fall. How's Jack to get the low-down on his potential professor?
A. Look up his future instructor in the UF Directory, and do an informal phone interview.
B. Go to Turlington Plaza and conduct an opinion poll.
C. Search on the Academic Advisement's Web site for the last semester's teacher evaluations.
D. Get access to the same information by filling out a request form at Criser Hall.

The Answer: C. Yes, it's really that easy. Visit www.as.ufl.edu to find out the tallied teacher evals from any semester or class your heart desires.

Grab your spleen, it's Question 17...
UF student Steve Shipp is a travel and tourism major.
I Know it's in Here Somewhere.
The books Jack checked out of Library West for his paper got buried under the mound of junk in his room, and he was two days late turning them in. If his bill for the overdue charges gets lost and goes unpaid, he won't be able to:
A. Pick up football tickets.
B. Register for classes.
C. Graduate.
D. All of the above.

The Answer: D. Talk about holding a grudge. If you don't pay your charges, the university shall maketh ye people suffer!

Keep it clean with Question 18...
Hoist that Sucker!
Jack paid that library fine, but he's not safe yet. Which of these other activities can cause a flag on his record?
A. Being off track for his major.
B. Outstanding parking tickets.
C. A bill from the infirmary.
D. All of the above.

The answer: D. Yeah, yeah, you've heard it all before. Just make sure it doesn't happen to you.

God save the Queen, it's Question 19...
Learning by Osmosis.
During a test, Jack absorbs (wink, wink) answers from the guy next to him. If his professor notices Jack's suspiciously sudden grasp of the subject, he would may face:
A. Student Honor Court.
B. Removal from housing, if he lives on campus.
C. Expulsion from the university.
D. Community service.

The Answer: A. You may be withdrawn from the class, too. So, don't cheat after you turn in that big research paper, or you'll have wasted a whole lot of time.

Good and plenty of Question 20...
Time to Wear a Funny Dress and Hat.
Hooray! Jack's graduating! His parents came to see him get his diploma (aww). What will happen if they get lost in Gainesville and don't get to commencement on time?
A. They won't be allowed in.
B. They'll have to sit all the way in the back, where they can't see L'il Jackie at all.
C. They'll have to stand for the entire ceremony.
D. They won't be able to scalp their tickets.

The Answer: A. That's right, anyone who arrives after the procession has started will not be admitted to commencement. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Tell your parents that it starts an hour before the actual time, just in case. Because by the time you're graduating, maybe, just maybe...
