So, I am sitting in a business "Ethics and Morality" class. Anyway, Fr Heppen and Fr Mertensotto were teaching the class. Everybody was given a company or organization that was faced with a grey not so grey decision and chose a borderline/unethical direction. We had to research the situation and give a presentation...field questions...
My buddy gives his presentation and it was informative, logical, well done...
The priests do a good cop bad cop routine and Heppen starts in.
"You show up here looking like a comic strip character." My friend was wearing a bandana, tee shirt, jeans.. Heppen continue to rip away and finishes this salvo with "and you were ill prepared." We're all sitting in "holy sh**" mode thinking, "heck, that was pretty good."
Anyway, Ed thinks for a few seconds and says, "I was better prepared for this presentation than you were for student housing." Mertensotto and the class bursts out laughing. Heppen is seeing red....
Heppen was in charge of student housing and he ran out of space forcing students who had been assigned dorms rooms to move off campus.....I don't know if he double booked, but somehow he f'd up royally.
There are plenty of stories like this....none worse than the current situation...weis.....
