Introducing....
THE INVISIBLE ADVISER!
*symbol crash*
...ABLE TO ADVISE GRAD STUDENTS WITHOUT THEM EVER SETTING FOOT INSIDE HIS OFFICE!
*symbol crash*
...DROPPING DOUGLAS ADAMS REFERENCES WITHOUT BATTING AN EYE!
*begins kicking drums*
...CAPABLE ONLY OF COMMENTING ON FULL LaTeX DOCUMENTS WITH ENOUGH MERIT TO BE PUBLISHED!
*a foot goes through the bass drum*
...AGREEING TO GROUP MEETINGS ONLY WHEN AN ADVISEE HAS PROVEN TO HAVE IDEAS OF INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND IS WILLING TO PRESENT THEM!
*symbols crash to the floor*
...FAILING TO ADVISE. PERIOD!
"To paraphrase Douglas Adams, you are not merely "professional thinkers"; you are research assistants -- paid to
think, yes, but also to translate these thoughts into publishable pages of LaTeX."
