In that year, a strange trend of song and dance troupes swept through rural Taiwan, and the location of Ashan University seemed to be one of its origins. Mischievous students would always make plans to go watch, and even some seemingly upright teachers enjoyed it.
Once during a PE class, the head of the PE department was substituting. Just after roll call, he announced he was feeling a bit under the weather, so everyone could have free time. Since there were no classes afterward in the afternoon, some classmates made plans to see the song and dance troupe. When they crowded into the smoky, packed little theater, the show was already underway.
Everyone squeezed to the front rows and suddenly noticed the head of the PE department sitting in the front row. A mischievous classmate leaned forward to greet him, "Hello, teacher! We heard that watching the song and dance troupe can cure a cold, so here we all are." The head of the PE department turned around and probably wished he could disappear.
In university, there are students who are "funny" and teachers who are "funny" too. There was a student who was the son of a high-ranking official and also the king of skipping classes. To make skipping easier, he often wore old-fashioned cloth shoes. As soon as attendance was taken and the professor started teaching, he silently slipped out of the window. Sometimes just before the end of class, he would sneak back in unnoticed.
But one time, when he was slipping back in through the window, the professor happened to turn around after finishing writing on the blackboard. Both of them froze for a moment, then the professor calmly said, "I know your father. I'll have to ask him someday if your family always enters through windows." This student later transferred schools the following year for some reason. However, twenty-some years later, he became the general manager of a branch of an American bank in Taiwan.
There was also a student who was a master at cheating. During exams while others were buried in books, he would leisurely apply eye drops and tell classmates, "You guys study hard, I'll take care of my eyes and get to bed early. I'll rely on you tomorrow." He was truly skilled, claiming he could look ahead three rows and behind three rows, and of course, the left and right three rows were also his domain. He gained quite a reputation, which irritated the teachers enough to make him take exams alone, finally putting a stop to his antics.
就在這一年，台灣鄉下吹起了歌舞團歪風，阿三大學所在地好像是發源地之一。調皮的學生總會相約去看，有些道貌岸然的老師也樂此不疲。
記得有次上體育課的時候，是體育組長來代課。才點完名，體育組長就說今天有點感冒，大家可以自由活動。因為是下午，接著也沒課，班上一些同學就約了去看歌舞團。大夥們擠進那滿坑滿谷、充滿煙味的小戲院時，好戲正在上演。
大夥就往前排擠去，赫然發現體育組長正坐在第一排。一位調皮的同學趨向前去與體育組長打招呼：「老師好！聽說看歌舞團會治感冒，所以我們都來了。」體育組長回頭一看，恨不得找個地洞鑽了進去。
大學裏有「鮮」學生，也有「鮮」老師。有位學生是大官之子，也是翹課大王。為了方便翹課，所以經常穿著古老式樣的布鞋。每當教授點完名開始授課後，他就從窗子無聲無息地一翻就出去了。有時下課前，又神不知鬼不覺地翻了回來。
不過有一次，他老兄從窗子翻回來的時候，正巧老師寫完黑板轉過身來。一時兩人都怔住了，然後老師徐徐說：「我認識你老爸。改天我倒要問問令尊，你們家的人是不是都從窗子進門的？」這位學生後來不知為了什麼在第二年就轉了學。不過廿幾年後，曾擔任過美國一家銀行在台分行的總經理。
還有一位學生可真算是作弊大王。每逢考試別人在Ｋ書，他總是好整以暇地點眼藥水，一邊還告訴同學：「你們好好Ｋ書，我把眼睛保養好，再早點睡覺，明天就靠你們了。」他真的很厲害，自稱可以前看三排，後看三排，當然左右三排都是他的勢力範圍，真是絕人一個。只是後來因「名氣」太大，惱火了老師，硬是要他一個人單獨考試，才把他給治住了。
