IRVINE VALLEY CHRONICLES: Clip, pin or magnet backing? Let's spend money on name badges!

An air of professionalism
     Is there no end to the cleverness that can be found here at Irvine Valley College? Apparently not!
     Since the fall semester, the campus community has been fretting over a projected deficit, owing to rising costs and flat revenue. For months, we’ve been scratching our noggins and performing painful Vulcan mind melds to find ways to raise moola and lower costs.
     And so, naturally, in the middle of all that, our colleagues over in Business and Fine Arts—an already storied bastion of professionalism and joie de vivre (hehe)—were sent the following fabulous one-time offer:
A certain élan
     We have an opportunity to order name badges for the Faculty and staff in Business Sciences, Fine Arts and CTE. You may find these a convenient way to introduce yourself and IVC to other attendees at conferences, meetings, networking functions, exhibits and other events. There is a certain élan with a name badge, providing instant introduction with an air of professionalism.
Instant Introduction
     The design will be something along these lines:
First Name
Full Name
Title
Department
     If you are interested in ordering a name badge, please let me know by this Friday, February 8th…. And note the quantity of badges you would like and your preference for clip, pin or magnet backing.

Why weren't the other schools and departments offered the same opportunity for name badges with elan?! I feel left out.

Remember when Mathur passed out buttons that said "Attitude!"? As I recall, Chunk changed his to "ratitude!"

I think it is a ridiculous idea but why was the ridiculous idea presented to only those two school? What about the rest of us?
