M: [23]The weather forecast says it will rain today.
W: [23]Yeah, doesn't it always? They've been sayingthat for a week and I haven't seen much sign of it sofar.
M: Yeah, but look. This time maybe they're ontarget. The sky's very dark. I got a feeling the rainwill be heavy.
W: If it's raining heavily after class, wait for me and I'll bring you an umbrella.
M: That's kind of you to offer, but don't worry I'll probably just wait it out.
W: By the way, what are the chances that you might be able to have a word with ProfessorSimpson in Criminology class?[24]We still need some resources for our Psychology project andhis input might help.
M: I could ask him, although I don't know how eager he'd be to give us information about sucha topic.
W: Oh, come on, he's always so helpful. Why would he even hesitate?
M: [25]Well, he has this mind set, which opposes the notion that criminals must necessarily bepsychologically abnormal. He feels it's just a stereotype.
W: Ok. But when it comes to certain crimes like mass murder, there must be a few "marblesloose".
M: You would think so. But it's hard to convince Simpson that anyone's crazy.
W: Perhaps he'd make a good reference source in the section where we include counter-arguments to our main thesis.
M: Good thinking. Let's give it a shot.
W: That's the spirit!

Deep Springs is an American college. It is anunusual college. It is high in the White Mountains inCalifornia, not in a college town.[29]The campus is acollection of old buildings, with no beautifulclassrooms. The only college-like thing about DeepSprings is its library.Students can study from the 18,000 books 24 hours a day. The library is nevercrowded as [30]there are only 24 well-qualified male students at the college. In addition, there are only five full-time professors. These teachers believe in the idea of this college. Theyneed to believe in it! They do not get much money. In fact,[31]their salaries are only $9,000 ayear plus room and meals. The school gives the young teachers as well as the studentssomething more important than money.
"There is no place like Deep Springs," says a second-year student from New York State."Mostcolleges today are much the same, but Deep Springs is not afraid to be different." He says thatstudents at his college are in a situation quite unlike in the other school. Students are there tolearn, and they cannot run away from problems. There is no place to escape to!
At most colleges, students can close their books and go to a film. They can go out torestaurants or parties. Deep Springs' students have completely different alternatives. They cantalk to each other or to their teachers. Another possible activity is to go to the library to study. They might decide to do some work.[32]The student who doesn't want to do any of theseactivities can go for a walk in the desert. Deep Springs is far from the world of restaurants andcinemas! There is not even a television set on campus.
