Richard had to get used to that multiple
choice system ... suspected everything to
be trick questions and hesitated to select
the obvious answer. It went too far when they
also had to indicate how confident they were
of their choice. So in addition to a, b, c, d,
also p, q ... respectively: I'm sure ... and
I gambled. That was of course in Statistics.
Determined not to put up with this nonsense,
the students organised a group called Critical
Monitoring Statistics. And successfully ...
p and q were abolished.
Lots of time to study there in Beuningen ...
acquired many of the required testimonials ...
until the program was shut down, since the
squatting of the barracks on the 'Verlengde
Groene'. The students ... that is to say the
Socialist Student Union, which Richard now
had joined, demanded the appointment of the
Marxist R. in a particular job. Richard didn't
participate in the occupation ... didn't sleep
there, but occasionally took a look. Besides
in Beuningen there were refurbishing a Ford
Transit to go to Afghanistan. Had cost only
800 guilders ... in vain ... broke down and
sold for 150 guilders, spent on a train ticket
to Rijeka, Yugoslavia. Eventually R. was
appointed, but many students evaded him
when he turned out to be a so-called
revisionist Communist from Amsterdam.
