<p>1) OP intparent appears to be an overprotective mother who did not bother to read the catalogue on study abroad for physics majors. It states:</p>
<p>“Because of the hierarchical nature of the required courses, physics majors who study abroad should plan on completing some of their math and physics requirements while abroad. The physics department recommends that students who elect to study abroad do so during their sophomore year.” [Reed</a> College | International Programs | International Programs](<a href=“http://www.reed.edu/ipo/cip.html]Reed”>http://www.reed.edu/ipo/cip.html)</p>
<p>This is roughly what poster vonlost said above regarding a Reed '09 daughter in post #49 above.</p>
<p>Further OP stated: “Campus paper listed all campus police calls over a couple of months…” This must in reference to another college like the University of Chicago and its paper The Chicago Maroon which does list the crime report of its police force. </p>
<p>2) Campus paper did state in post #14 above:</p>
<p>“Almost 25% of Reedies smoke, according to a survey conducted in the 2010-11 academic year, while 40% of students said they were bothered by others smoking.”</p>
<p>If the survey was done correctly, then 35% of students who don’t smoke are NOT bothered by others smoking. Smoking is a major problem for non-smokers if the majority of those who don’t smoke are bothered by second hand smoke. There is an obvious need to ban smoking on campus as the majority of non-smokers are annoyed or harmed.</p>
