          Open Day.


   One weekday afternoon was no different
from all others: students busily scurried
here and there, quietly rejoicing is not soon
pre-present the session, the teachers something
quickly wrote the book reviews of watchmen,
that was placed near the front door
entrance to the institute. All behaved as usual
and no unauthorized persons, and moreover,
objects are categorically not observed.

   But in the late afternoon on the sidelines of the Institute
established several tense atmosphere. Meteorological 
instruments do not recorded, because the above-named 
instruments in the Institute as a not observed, but ...


   First, in small quantities, and then
and has significant dose began to appear
a handful of anxious people. Not keen
eye can not be said to them, nothing strange
and a simple urban inhabitant did not notice
would be nothing strange about them and would take them
for ordinary applicants came for the day
Open House - after the announcement of this
landmark event for a long time
dazzled in a modest corner of the board
ads and see his bright
Black and White degree could not except that people with
excellent eyesight.

   However, students do little reading, and
especially what is written on some
there ordinary-looking boards, and
ads for anyone - for entry into
Universities. "No they do not read them, and hence
they are nothing at all about the remarkable event did not know.

   That's why a group (or rather - two
group) of unsuspecting students
gathered in the lobby of our school
institution.

   What is different they are from the gay and
cheerful entrants? In this
If smashing and decisive differences were
visible immediately. Persons assembled were gloomy.
It was obvious that they did not learn
the first year and, moreover, is not the first
course. Their faces were filled with grim
determination in the arches of the coming event.
Many hands were busy with elongated
oblong cylindrical
form than something resembling a powerful
weapons extraterrestrial origin of the. Two
of them, the noble traits of individuals
resembling the elders with multivalued-state
view pronounce short and therefore very
mysterious phrase: "Oh no it all in
Institute ... "

   This phrase seems to be very
fragmentary, the order increased the comprehensibility of the 
facts. These people have gathered here not for the fact that to 
stare at young entrants and abiturientok to

Besides, on this score is first-year students.

   No ... Group gathered here came
here is not behind this. Gathered expected not
entrants and no giveaway
ice cream! They waited for the man who
decide not only on the global
life of the institute, but also questions raised
students at work on exchange rate
work.

   But in vain and in vain were waiting
hapless students. On the day of the expected presence was 
important to somewhere else and therefore waiting for the 
students, almost no chayavshie their kursoviki 
checked-governmental seen sitting and standing in picturesque 
poses just waiting for news about the no-known

absent.

   And the news has come fairly quickly, but
very unusual form. Several, more
remained in the expectations of students, has been requested 
quite usual for them - help something there to move. A student 
then because people are kind and helpful. Unselfish desire to 
help move or dismantle anything living in them,

starting with the first course and is supported by
ezheletney labor service. Obviously,
they helped to quietly carry out
basement plumbing valve, which
then never found, and the thing-then this was
not small and weigh not too little. But this
is another story, but now it's time
back-to-day open house ...

   So, after some fluctuations in
couloirs of the first floor all have come to a conclusion that 
will carry only a few tables: the office - and into the 
corridor in front of audiences. Naive porters had not yet guess 
about future events and therefore talked about the affairs of 
their immediate. And then it turned out that the 
much-anticipated event as a test of course not held by reason 
of not checking presence of exchange in the foreseeable time 
interval called "Day".


   Extremely frustrated, disillusioned and
equal and prisutstvovashim by the time
students remained only do
search for root causes of such striking
permutations in a modest and not rich
interior of native penates. And, as usual,
casket, or rather board with ads
just opened. On the bright lights of evening twilight was 
extracted and orgsteklyannogo captivity that fateful piece of 
paper with so modest ads.


   And so, it would seem time to go home
becoming like their more savvy
brethren. But no! Whirlpool of events of the day
already tightened the volunteers in their
Paper embrace. They had, and had
is not the first time, to help all the same
teacher, whose department was for them
everything is just as striking a distant and expensive
(In both senses of the word-va). Hoisted on
table is the same zlopo-luchny shield to
whose registration had been made and their hands
- That has significant implications, moose on the surface
shield.

   Doing so hard perturbations
participants of this action moved so that
the efforts of their hands, as well, and
strangers.

   Unrolling is already familiar and
standard: the bright billboards, leaflets with the names of 
professions and stacks of brochures, which, in connection with 
his zhizneobeschayuschimi descriptions of future happiness 
studies, it is could be called advertising.



   And now, started ...


   Menacing roar of the crowd, thirsting clearly shows, there 
was a reason from the area of ​​the fourth floor. It entrants 
unnoticed get inside small groups

a hundred people, finally appeared in
ambush. Tumultuous avalanche of crowds
sour cream, stirred and broke everything in the
its broad and smooth the way up the stairs. C
shouting and screaming, worthy of the best
opera houses in the world, applicants sought to down, and it 
seemed the crowd they were not decreased, and grew and grew. 
Like water flow, the mass of entrants grew, filling all cracks 
and fissures in the volume allotted area.


   It seemed that nothing under the power to resist
rapid onslaught. But then came forward
our brave teachers. Armed
only the word (spoken and literary), they
saturated with information hunger hungry
study.

   Dear all teacher of psychology, which is why a department 
with not a Russian name and no psychological

"PUBLIC RELATION" as always, skillfully used his oratorical 
gift. Leaf and words reflect the sharp attacks he was 
inquisitive crowd than to provide, probably immense popularity 
aforementioned specialty. 

   Gently and correctly reflect the attacking midfielder 
spokeswoman specialty "Applied Mathematics". As the

advertising sign on the panel "The labor market
NO mathematicians and many desired to go
fall.

   Attracted the attention of the representative
Department of automation, that is to say tommy. In the 
beginning it seemed that just about the crowd swallow his short 
bursts, but he was honorably released of this heavy

testing and machine-gun bursts that suppressed
part of the crowd that was eager to know - what
specialty in luchat they on this
department. But the question is tricky - on
At least a third-year students at
third year do not yet know to get
which specialty they spend considerable
efforts. Wherefore, twice and thrice and honor
Praise be to explain it.

   And equal honor - his assistant -
volatile combat unit of the Department of activists. They had 
already discovered the terrible the secret of their future 
profession and any most unbeliever applicant under their joint

pressure at the time believed in the truth
Automation, in favor of it, as well as in
profitability and its prospects, but also
ease of development and learning - too
believed.

   It is difficult to describe even one hundredth of a mean 
feat of our teachers on the basis of education. It is 
impossible to describe and illuminate the work and achievements 
of all of them in one hard day. But it is already moving to the 
outcome ... 

   And finally - here it is! Picking up the latest 
non-believers, a crowd of prisoners, applicants, harassed by 
teachers, was subdued and driven into the audience. 

   The author does not know about the events occurring there - 
because the goal of education are vague and tortuous path of 
the student and fuzzy. The further fate is not held

students' time will tell. From the audience, they
out already noticeably transform people. The faces of many of 
them converted held a meeting - they became serious, quiet and 
thoughtful. Many people walked in silence, pondering what he 
saw and heard. Some have pondered its extremely difficult but 
vital decision on the future profession. In these meditations 
have been many of them. But few have come out from the 
institute with a confident smile made choice that brought them 
a joyful heart anticipation of close examination.


   And what about the thought of contemplating them
students. They thought only of the deadline
coursework ...


   Miracle.
