Their main site states that they offer a BSc in Motorsports. That, I
think, paints the entire picture. It is clear that it is relatively easy
to call yourself a university, these days (and in my country as well as
yours), but still quite hard to _be_ one.

Oh goody, I always wanted my own chair at a university. I hope it will
be more of a comfy throne sort of thing, perhaps suspended from a large
hook so I can twirl and dangle in a disconcerting way?
Once the ergonomic seating arrangements had been taken care of,the next
priority must be a cordon orange chef, a true artist in the vegetarian
kitchen. I suppose a good cellarer will also be required, for the sake
of our academic reputation, although personally I'd rate the college
gardener (a specialist in the growing of relaxing medicinal herbs) as
slightly more important in the grand scheme of things.
Perhaps the name would need to be elucidated further, since not everyone
will know that Matriarchal Matters also include World Domination
Science. We will need to form a committee to look into that further.

Indeed.
Just so long as there is enough brass in the kitty to employ a full
contingent of staff. I'd hate to find myself elevated to the position of
dean without my full assignment of sycophants and minions.

Having the necessary qualifications, I reckon you qualify as qualified
for the wbo. I'd be good to have a department where one might always find
a spare photocopier, I goov that would be good. Spare photocopiers could
be hfrshy, if they're spare, and hfrshy.

I was promised a chair of my own when I arrived at Brunel in 2002
and I still haven't got one. Probably showing too much initiative in
refurbishing one a colleague was throwing out, but it's getting rather

Every university should have a Department of High Energy Tuit-ion. They
can start small with a tuit-o-mak breeder reactor in the squash courts,
but if it jbexf, expect it to become the largest department in a very
short time. The current state of tuit-o-mak technology hfrs more tuits
than it molishes thobut, so it might take a while.

Oh I do like "Learniversity", though, there's a bit of a ring of Chris Morris
about that. That's gotta be in there somewhere. The Open World Learniversity,

Right, OK, this is what I think we have so far - apologies for any
omissions, errors or actionable libel.
I'm quite wed to the idea of having the term "learniversity" in
there somewhere. I just like it. Some ideas:
Learniversity of International Excellence
International Decentralised Learniversity of Everything
Learniversity of International Acclaim and Reknown
or
Global Union of Leading Learniversities (I favour this one so far)
Suggestions welcome.
The faculties are coming along nicely. Thus far, in no particular order,
we have, subject to departmental approval and modification:
Karen Oiorpata, GM, BHave, Supreme Commander
- The Dangling Throne of Matriarchal Matters, Dean Of Indulgence,
Overlady of the Department of World Domination and Jam For Tea.
Countess Palatine Blackberry the Perplexed of Divine Intervention NRFL[1]
- Tenured professor of the Legal Department, which shall encompass
the Illegal Department.
Richard Bos, BAa, PhaaD, BeleefdheidsVorm
- Faculty of the Horrible Languages
Don Stockbauer, TX, BCC, CC, CC and bar
- Department of Redundancy Department
Don Stockbauer, TX, BCC, CC, CC and bar
- Department of Redundancy Department
With a tenured post in the department of Mad Science, Dr Ivan Reid
will be supplementing his research into Large Hole Creation with
a senior lectureship in Sturgeon's Revealation, for the benefit,
inter alia, of the Scientific Journalism and Loony Mathematics departments.
Dr Reid will be provided with his own chair, or at worst a 65% share
in a pre-owned chair.
Don Stockbauer, TX, BCC, CC, CC and bar
- Department of Redundancy Department
Pedt, TUi
- Chair of missing
Richard Robinson
- Comfy Chair of Whatever, head of Music and Erudition, Cup Of Tea.
Soup, ToM, VEg, MInestronE
- head of Obsequiousness And Fawning
Ron Davies, WonK, and Frank Erskine, NV+4
- Joint heads of Interpretive Studies, Readers in NUENDO, Buik Sales
C. O. Jones, OOer
- Head of Multiple Entendre (with senior Assistant, Dan Glebitz)
Sn!pe, WA, DEr
- Sofa Of Sloth
??? ? ????-??
- tenured professor running course entitled "Kant, Reason with Jung"
Esra Sdrawkcab
- Indefinite Studies and Deckchair Rearrangement
Bob Harvey, Captain
- See Bob Harvey, Captain
Marc Znep, CyN, IC
- Dept of Drinking, Entertainment, Bawdiness, Artistic Undress, Celebration and
Hedonism.
I think we should also have something like a specialist department of
Arts, Recreation, Science and Electronics, to cover cutting-edge artistic
computer games and so on.
And, of course, lots more besides.

You can liase with the Licensed Extra Wide Door facility, over in

<looks faintly puzzled> I have software to look things up in dictionaries

cover is the interesting bit, which is the concept's applicability to
charras.
Presuming the Charras-Bong gambit is only allowed on alternate Tuesdays
when the coffee's not in Spong, anyway.
But _is_ it an alternate Tuesday ? It rather depends on whether the
binhumans came before I got up.

No idea, but it _is_ Update Tuesday, and I hear Microsoft has a
large bag of goodies for us this month.

This was a challenge, I presume? Oh, it wasn't? Too late. Point your web
browser at <http://www.xs4all.nl/~rlbos/shedde/>, and there you shall
find PDFs of a suggestion for a crest, a logo, and two business cards.
The crest consists of a Shedde over a number of books and a mug (of
Proper Tea, naturally), which is surrounded by a Mission Statement. This
implies that the GULL shall cover all learning in its Sheddiness, and
provide a cosy environment for same. The mission statement speaks for
itself. The colours are a very Shed-like brown and green (PMS 469 and
371, respectively. (Perhaps I should swap the brown and green?) The font
used is Jenson, because it is pleasingly nold-fashioned. If I can find a
nold-fashioned font with the name of an English typographer or printer,
I'll probably change to that; Jenson sounds English, but unfortunately
he was Serapu.
The logo consists of the mug from the crest (this time with the Proper
Tea in its Proper Colour), and one of its books, plus the name of the
Learniversity.
The card shows the logo on the front, has (in typical random business
card fashion) a random line on with a width 7/8ths the width of the
card[7/8][7/9]. Then the name, titles, and department; plus the phone,
phobile, phax, and e-mail of the holder. All in various weights of 9
pts. Jenson. The size of the card is 3 1/2" by 2". This is not random;
apparently, the "standard" UK card has a size in millimetres, but the
Netherlands standard card is that size in inches. Go figure. Obviously,
I _had_ to choose the size that is both Dutch and non-metric. The back
of the card holds the crest. Obviously, you can print it one-sided,
using only the front.
There is also a card with the personal bits of text in Copperplate
Gothic. The relevance of that can be seen here:
<http://ubersoft.net/comic/hd/2008/06/the-copperplate-boilerplate>.
When I figure out how to get CS1 to make PDFs with editable fields in
them, I'll put cards there where the name and so on can be changed in
Acrobat Reader, so that all Sheddi can make their own cards. AFAICT now,
that looks like a pretty convoluted job, thobut.
Naturally, all these are but suggestions. If anyone has a better mission
statement, a freely available font with an appropriate name, or anything
of the like, do pipe up.
Richard
[7/8] The relevance of this number should be obvious to any Gripley
[7/9] Actually, 7/8 the card _minus margins_. Perhaps I should change
that. Should the line run to the edge, instead of to the margin?

I want to make a late submission for the (comfy) chair of sitting
down, I want to be head of pie studies, and to head up a crack team of
biologists researching the lace fairies of Nottinghamshire. I should
also like to be in charge of student warfare (no, I have spelled that
correctly) and to be on the committee for considering things for a
very long time.

Propogating the challenge most appropriately - it's traditional for
the members of a single department, even, to spend decades violently disagreeing
about stuff like this, so I fully expect the individual departments to
evolve their own vision of the Learniversity image, and engage in
prolonged and bitter wrangling^W^W^W^W much creative discourse on the
subject.
Carl LHS Williams
It's never too late for sitting down, student warfare or lengthy
consideration. I expect a set of course programs and a departmental
funding strategy no later than Sep. 1st, 2088.
