So maybe 1 in 4 wasn't exactly the indoctrination I thought it was going to be, but my scorn for it is still pretty withering. The general consensus was that it was a waste of an hour. As we wrapped things up, one of the program leaders said he hoped it "inspired us." The only thing it inspired me to do was go to seminary and join a monastery. At least you don't have to worry about undue contact that can and will be held against you in a court of law.
Oh, and here's a transcript of the telescreen announcement that was sent out by the Oceania Broadcasting Corporation to all the male dorm rooms:
"Gentlemen of Talliaferro, your attention please. Since 25% of all college women are raped during their time at school, we find it necessary in our infinite wisdom to choose an equivalent number--namely, one quarter of your number-- at random, take them outside and quietly place them against the wall, and shoot them. This will not only by random chance eliminate potential deviants, but also act as a massive deterrent to those of you considering perpetrating such acts. To those of you who have such perverse inclinations, we would say this: We know, and we are always watching.
You may now return to your lives as normal."
