Columbia 1968
-Statistics- Staff Pax Trafalgar Season: Autumn 1967 Weather: New York is experiencing very pleasant weather at the moment: the harsh bite of winter has yet to sweep down on the city, and so far sunny skies with the odd wispy cloud and a crisp fall breeze are the current norm, which is appreciated by both students and teachers alike.	-Plot- Columbia 1968 A 1968 RPG For decades, Columbia University has prided itself for its high standards and Ivy League standing. It has been the home of the best and the brightest, the A students, the great athletes, the legends who will go on to be great assets to society or even come back to teach at this prestigious place. But now, it adds another group to the list of what its students have become – the revolutionaries. It is 1968, and the Vietnam War is raging. Students at Columbia are protected from the draft by their college deferments, but this will not last forever and the civil rights and anti-war movements going on around them are inspiring these privileged Ivy League students to question authority and find their voice. For the first time in a long time, the youth are taking matters into their own hands, thinking for themselves, and speaking up, and now they find themselves fighting desperately to keep those rights. Columbia has become a dangerous place. Students begin skipping classes to attend almost-daily protests and demonstrations, local police are on edge and often violent, members of the staff are trying anything they can think of to redirect their pupils, and various student organisations are emerging, some with very different sets of ideals. The revolutionary culture of art, intellectualism, drugs, and music has swept Columbia up, and now the school is heading towards an inevitable explosion propelled by the unstoppable passing of time...

Harry saw an ad in a window. It said: "Wanted. The Best Sales- man in the World. Top Pay."

¡¡¡¡" I' m a great salesman." Harry told himself." I can sell anything. I'll go in and ask for that job."

¡¡¡¡He went into the building and spoke to the manager.

¡¡¡¡"I'm the best salesman in the world," he said. "Give me the job. "

¡¡¡¡"You must prove you're the best," the manager said.

¡¡¡¡"I'll pass every test you give me." Harry told him.

¡¡¡¡"Good."

¡¡¡¡The manager took a box of candy out of his desk .

¡¡¡¡"Last week, I bought a thousand boxes of this candy. If you can sell them all before the end of the week, you can have the job.

¡¡¡¡"That's easy," Harry said.

¡¡¡¡He took the box of candy and left the office.

¡¡¡¡Every day and all day, he went from shop to shop, trying to sell boxes of the candy .

¡¡¡¡He couldn't sell one.

¡¡¡¡The candy was so bad he couldn't even give it away.

¡¡¡¡At the end of the week he went back to the manager.

¡¡¡¡"I'm sorry, sir, " he said," I was wrong about myself . I'm not the best salesman in the world, but I know who is.

¡¡¡¡"Oh," said the manager. "Who?"

¡¡¡¡"The person who sold you a thousand boxes of this candy, " Harry said.
