    well, you know what they say you can send an art student to college
    but you cant make them think! i know that this previous sentence is
    going to infuriate, but alot of young folks could be pursuing art as
    a means of escaping the doldrums of right brain activities, such as
    math and science. 

    perhaps the administrators and college boards know thier illustrious
    institution will sell fewer sheepskins & attract less people if the
    kids know they are going to have to pursue a well rounded curriculum
