Hello and welcome to Carrots Arc on National Public Radio with us clicking

plaque to Tappet Brothers and we're broadcasting this week from the campus of

Tappet Brothers University or OTPU as we call it during orientation week for the

upcoming fall semester. In other schools orientation this is a bunch of
