Quotes from the Director's Meeting

Today was one of our twice-yearly group meetings with the program head (and vice head), where the students may kvetch freely about wrongs and injustices. Here's some quotes:

"When you hear these sorts of rumors, let us know. We need to know what to categorically deny and what would tip you off."

"There is some probability that we will be offering a special topics in Monte Carlo this summer. I blame Dustin for that comment."
