Two spaces in OFP's last post.  Do I win a prize?

p-r-e-s-i-d-e-n-t.  DvF got it, along with other guesses.

Does that mean I've won a prize of being president or does the prize go to DvF for counting underscores?

Your prize is:  An invitation to the ORT special symposium for professors of engineering, physics, and chemistry who teach far too many students with no start-up funds, and who are interested in complex, stretchable hydrocarbons.

So then I begin to wonder why it had to be me the one to pull the shortest straw and be bragged in the face by the Dean about hu's recent ORT talk during my recent campus visit.

Why, oh, why?

If you tell us your Dean's name, we'll have an easier time answering your question.
