Croft Renews Suicide Hotline

UNIVERSITY, Miss - With the beginning of a new school year upon us, the Croft Institute is considering renewing one of their older traditions: the life evaluation hotline. As plenty of seniors will understand, the pains and pressures of writing a thesis can cause several emotional problems and cause one to call their life into question.
        Croft is here to help. Students may call the new hotline (1-888-WORTH-IT) for help in solving this crisis. Students can explain their dilemma to an adviser who will then pass judgment on whether the student’s life is worth living. The administration would like to note that decisions made by advisers are not optional and are enforced promptly.
        According to several anonymous Crofties, the hotline has already been a big help. “Yeah, I mean, trying to write a thesis is hard. I don’t think I have the time to do it and I consider regular students at Ole Miss to be of lesser worth. I don’t have enough time to devote to disdain and it really caused me to ponder my own life,” said one Croftie, while waiting for the hammer to strike.
Most students were satisfied with the counsel they received. According to friends of one former Croftie, she was thoroughly relieved when the adviser told her that her life was not worth continuing. Sources say she thanked God and the adviser before hanging up. Some however expressed disappointment when told that their lives were worth living, because it meant they still had to write their theses.
The administration encourages all seniors with any doubts to call the hotline so that questions may be resolved definitively.
