But that takes time and Glue-All, right? Or was there some way of obtaining Glue-All for free?
Yes it was essentially free. Of course I brought a bottle I scrounged from home along with other school supplies, but what else would I have used Glue-All for in college classes? I'm sure that the one bottle I had went bad before I finished it.
Back then, time was essentially free. Dorm life had a prison-like economy: With room and board prepaid by parents, most people just had some pin money for beer. Everything was evaluated in terms of beer equivalents. Genuine tokens for a load of laundry cost at least 3 or 4 beers. Few would be willing to forego those drinks to save a couple of minutes squirting glue.
