Why is Professor Peace Porterfield trying to save Beet
College? His own wife, Livi, hates the place. The Board of
Trustees, led by developer Joel Bollovate, has squandered
the endowment. Debutante-cum-self-styled-poet Matha Polite,
an indis-criminate radical with a four-student following,
wants to bring the institution down. Akim Ben Ladin (né
Arthur Horowitz), a sweet-tempered terrorist hopeful and the
college’s only Homeland Security major (who lives in an
off-campus cave), wants to blow up the school. Faculty
members, when not concocting useless, trendy courses, fly at
one another’s throats. Not to mention that American higher
education is already going down the tubes. So why is Porterfield trying to save Beet? Beats us.
