a chart for the freshmenandwomen
via the pi press:
the minnversity is reporting results of a basic correlational study that associates college grades with drinkin', smokin', workin', and computin'. grade point average seems to have a (negative) linear relationship with drinking, smoking, tv viewing, and computing, but work intensity is only weakly associated with school performance. all this is bad news for my lad, who will now be expected to abstain from vices like television, alcohol, and tobacco, while working 45 hours per week during his carefree college days.

Gee whiz. Where's that zero point on these graphs? What these "more dramatic" findings show is that the difference between students at the extremes on drinkin', smokin', screenin', and other forms of moral dissolution is the difference between a B+ and a B.
aww, you know why that happens in minnesota, jay -- all our children are above average.
