113world's starving into global university students, sorely in need of
114
115Food Services, living in dilapidated dorms without plumbing or
116
117email? How long will administrators let these living conditions
118
119persist? Will access to resources, both physical and metaphysical,
120
121be channeled through curriculum circuits, rewarding starving

123students with meal tickets, plane tickets, and other university

138

145global university curriculum is phasing in General Systems Theory

147(GST) as a competing discipline, rhetorically positioned to take
148
149away a lot of Econ 101's market share. If you want to work for the
