There are between thirty and forty of you taking this course. So, DO NOT CHECK OUT LIBRARY BOOKS! Do your research in the library, and leave the books there for others.
There will be a xerox account for this course. You are allowed 30 free xeroxes each.
That is a little more than you will need for the whole semester. Do not abuse this account, and
do not allow friends access to it either. If it runs over budget, the surplus will be divided equally
between all members of the class and grades will be withheld until the surplus has been paid.
