TH: Good evening, and welcome to The Thinking Housewife. My guest tonight is the eminently fictitious Ellie Forthnaught, founder and sole proprietor of an interesting new venture in education, the New Wave Academy for Women.
Welcome, Mrs. Forthnaught.
Mrs. F: Thank you. Thrilled to be here.
TH: Mrs. Forthnaught, may we call you Ellie?
Mrs. F: No, no. Please call me Andy. Thats what all my friends call me.
TH: Fine then, Andy. Tell us about this idea of yours. I understand you intend to revolutionize womens higher education in America.
Mrs. F: Oh well, Im no revolutionary really, but I recently announced at a virtually unattended press conference in the nations capital my plan for a chain of prestigious academies for young women. The start-up date is uncertain, but the plan calls for two dozen academies eventually, with four hundred students each.
TH: This is serious. Sugar?
Mrs F: Thank you.
TH: And?
Mrs. F: Theres likely to be one in every region of America. Thats the goal.
TH: The name of these academies?
Mrs. F: The New Wave Academy for Women. Its simple and memorable.
TH: Are you wealthy?
Mrs. F: Funding is uncertain. I dont have any start-up funds as a matter of fact and I dont expect to find sponsors soon. The plan is well-developed and thats what counts. Tuition should be in the range of $5,000 per year. I tried to crunch this number to make it less, but that would entail feeding the women only bread and water.
TH: Thats unconstitutional.
Mrs. F: Thats what I thought.
