So‚ they are saying that freshmen are too busy doing homework and other schoolwork to lie down and sleep peacefully. If the word “lie” means not telling the truth‚ then the title would be saying that freshmen who are sleeping never tell lies‚ which is obvious because you can’t talk when you’re asleep

    “The oldest and most often invoked argument is that art‚ whatever its form‚ is a public good” (Ginsburgh‚ 2001‚ p. 759). Why?
