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} |
