Perhaps they could have simply called it "Windows
Vista College." They could
hand out diplomas that if you remodel your house too noticeably, they become
invalid and you're forced to be an undergraduate until you call in to get a new
one. Great at parties.
One of my proposals was to call the building that we were in, "Berkeley
city College, Vista Campus", which would let people include or not
include "Vista" as needed.
