The Unknown Student
In many jobs, the employees gather around
the water cooler to visit. In our department, we
gather around the secretary’s desk. It has been
the same at every university where I have
taught. Our discussions often center around the
amusing things the students do. At one
university I worked at, the secretary, Deanne,
told an interesting story.
She had worked in the cashiers office for a
time. She said that, one day, she received a call
from a father who was a little bit concerned. He
said that his daughter had informed him he still
owed the more than $1200 of her tuition.
He said he was sure he had paid it already,
and asked Deanne to check. Deanne asked his
name to track the payment.
