In here, I will use many -many buzzwords and other legalistic-types of terms, mostly begining on -the expounding of the holistic and synergistic energy that Gnus bring -to our organizations. - -\subsection{Background} - -In preparation for reading this dissertation, I would highly recommend -reading some of the other material available on -Gnus~\citep{gnus98:_gerry_ganst,greenfield96:_gettin_know_gnu}. They -are very well written and will give you a fuller understanding of -Gnus. - -Gnus are frequently mistakes for squirrels. They are not squirrels. -They are Gnus. Don't call them squirrels, either (unless you have -food in your hand); they tend to get a bit upset.\footnote{This is - frequently mistaken for the chattering and scampering away. Gnus - are actually quite polite; they will leave if they have nothing nice - to say, for fear of saying something offensive.} If you have food -in your hand, they tend to ignore this insult and accept your food as -a peace offering. - -\subsection{Foreground} - -Table~\ref{tbl:bogus1} shows some feeding frequencies for where Gnus -like to eat around the Notre Dame campus. Gnus have work weeks, just -like humans do, hence the much lower frequencies on weekends. This -can lead us to conclude that Gnu weekend shifts are much smaller than -the normal work-week shifts. In fact, we can attempt to parametrize the -sighting frequency, $\mathcal{F}$, by the student population, type of food, and -day of the week as: -\begin{equation} - \mathcal{F} = \mathcal{F}(p,f,d). -\end{equation} -Table~\ref{tbl:bogus2} shows what they -typically like to eat. - -\begin{table}[tpb] - \begin{center} - \caption{WHERE Gnus LIKE TO EAT \label{tbl:bogus1}} - \begin{tabularx}{0.85\textwidth}{lrrrrrrr} \toprule - \multicolumn{1}{c}{Location} & Sun & Mon & Tue & Wed & Thu & Fri & Sat \\ \midrule - Front of Dome & 1 & 5 & 6 & 5 & 4 & 5 & 1 \\ - Stonehenge & 2 & 9 & 10 & 12 & 9 & 14 & 2 \\ - The Rock & 1 & 3 & 4 & 3 & 4 & 3 & 0 \\ - The ACC & 3 & 4 & 5 & 5 & 5 & 4 & 1 \\ - Dining Halls & 5 & 14 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 12 & 3 \\ - Hesburgh Library & 2 & 3 & 5 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 2 \\ \bottomrule - \end{tabularx} - \end{center} -\end{table} - -\begin{table}[tpb] - \setlength{\capwidth}{0.7\textwidth} - \begin{center} - \caption{WHAT Gnus LIKE TO EAT ON THE NOTRE DAME CAMPUS, LISTED - BY AVERAGE NUMBER OF SIGHTINGS PER WEEKDAY - \label{tbl:bogus2} -} - \begin{tabular}{lrrrrrrr} \toprule - \multicolumn{1}{c}{Food} & Sun & Mon & Tue & Wed & Thu & Fri & Sat \\ \midrule - Twinkies & 1 & 5 & 6 & 5 & 4 & 5 & 1 \\ - Ding Dongs & 2 & 9 & 10 & 12 & 9 & 14 & 2 \\ - Carrots & 1 & 3 & 4 & 3 & 4 & 3 & 0 \\ - Lettuce & 3 & 4 & 5 & 5 & 5 & 4 & 1 \\ - Twizlers & 5 & 14 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 12 & 3 \\ - Jawbreakers & 2 & 3 & 5 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 2 \\ \bottomrule - \end{tabular} - \end{center} -\end{table} - -Figure~\ref{fig:bogus3} shows a nice graph of location distributions -by day of week.

Gnus work very hard at providing us with all the -things that we like (trees, dirt, air, etc.), and so we should freely -give them food. They will come up and stand a respectful distance -away from you, waiting to see if they will be rewarded for their -efforts. If you offer some food, they will take it and back off a -respectful distance in order to consume their food while leaving you -to your ``personal space.'' - -\section{Groovin' Gnus} -\label{sec:groovin-gnus} - -Gnus do tend to stay away from humans in their normal day-to-day -workings. This is mainly because humans don't, for the most part, -understand what they are doing. If a Gnu is working, and a human -approaches it, the Gnu will tend to drop whatever it is doing and run -away. This is probably do to the tendency for humans to have ``group -meetings'' and ``productivity seminars.'' Most Gnus are deathly -afraid of such overmanagement, and run at the slightest hint of it, -for fear that it will cripple their real work. - -It is interesting, however, that Gnus have chosen an Institution of -Higher Education for their BOO.\footnote{Base of Operations.} It is -often said that: -\begin{quote} - Academic politics are the dirtiest, meanest, ugliest, and generally - the most low-down, in-your-face, and kick-em-while-they're-down than - anywhere else (even Washington D.C.) because the stakes are so low. -\end{quote} -It has been hypothesized that the Gnus are subtly trying to affect a -change for the better (i.e., eliminating the overmanagement problems) -by working the very system that they are trying to change, from -within. That is, the graduates from Notre Dame can learn from the -examples of the Gnus here, and run screaming (or chattering) at the -slightest hint of overmanagement, and let the real work proceed -unhindered. - -% % uncomment the following lines, -% if using chapter-wise bibliography -% -% \bibliographystyle{ndnatbib} -% \bibliography{example} |
