University Urban Myth

Here's a little diddy that the non-g/f and I came up with a while back (I'd say about a month to a month & .5).

Every four years one college student is deleted from the roster. As if the inner cogs of the Univeristy of Minnesota don't have enough fun, they decided that every four years they randomly delete one college student from the University records. This student won't be notified of such a deed, and will continue on taking classes until his/her "graduation". Afterwhich, he/she awaits his/her degree in the mail, but it never comes. When inquiring about it, no one at the U can seem to help him/her because the student under his/her name never existed at the U. This would lead to one of two options. The poor soul would have to retake all of his/her classes (of course if he/she had taken out loans, he/she would have to be paid in full by the U to cover up this operation), or he/she would have to prove somehow that he/she did take all of the classes. The latter choice, the often picked choice, is, of course, almost impossible to pull off. If the student is able to prove without a shadow of a doubt that he/she did attend, the board would "persuade" him/her to never tell another living soul about the incident, otherwise, he/she truly would dissapear!

A good reason to keep everything returned to you that is graded, I say.
