How Many Students Does It Take To Change A Lightbulb? Associated Press Thursday, February 27, 2002 CHICAGO (AP) -- The University of Chicago finally has its own answer to a vexing question: How many students does it take to change a light bulb? Mary Ruth Yoe, the editor of the school's alumni magazine, decided students there had gone long enough without a good University of Chicago answer so she asked for contributions. Scores of responses followed. "Change it to what?" answered Michael P. Richard. "We were taught to define terms." Another entry argued that the answer depended on whether the students are undergrads or graduate students. The answer for undergrads? "Four. One to change it and three to complain about how hard it was." For graduate students, though, the answer was, "Just one. But it takes seven years." The winning suggestion came from alumnus Paul L. Sandberg, whose answer, Yoe wrote, underscored the "true Chicago students." "Quiet! We're studying in the dark."
