    You economists. So otherwordly. Burning textbooks! Don’t you know there are dumpsters all over campus full of flammable crap?

    Now that would get some sympathetic attention in the press. UO econ faculty dumpster divers striving to keep warm at low cost to taxpayers. Just do it!

      I’m personally flabbergasted that no one has made the hot air joke.

      It works great, every July.

    There’s a little known codicil in the Faber constitution that permits book burning during declarations of cold weather emergencies.

    There seems to be piles of firewood lying around campus. And didn’t UO Matters say that there is no rule against professorial chainsaw use? Skip the middleman: burn trees not books!
