The San Fernando Valley Folklore Society's

Piled Higher and Deeper:   In Piled Higher and Deeper, folklorist Simon J. Bronner takes a long, engaging look at the experience of American campus life and how it shapes the cultural and social values of all who pass through it. The menacing profs, fumbling jocks, and curve-setting dweebs are all here, along with bed races, bar brawls, and a rich assortment of tales, rituals, and practical jokes. Bronner shows us orientation, exams, cheating, Greek life, drinking games, homecoming, spring celebrations, graduation, and more as he examines the social, cultural, and psychological development taking place in America's institutions of higher learning.

Exam Scams:   John Croucher has uncovered excuses and cheating techniques used by students around the world to avoid exams, to assist their memories or to explain poor marks. From underwear inspections to student riots, this is a collection of outrageous and often surprising tales. Exam Scams is hilarious reading for every student who has sat an exam and for every lecturer who has marked an exam paper.
