Ode to W.C. To the Editor: Men resign and students ask How long will the new ones last Teachers teach and then "resign" Others lecture - passing time: Tenure, raises, praise the Lord just don't ever knock the Board. Don't think twice 'cause it's ALL right Please don't ever start a fight Power funnels from the top Accept it, sheep, and join the flock. Who needs a conscience - block your mind Pretend that all is super-fine. Bill Holland
