 In the Requests for Clarification section, it talks about "[[Student_Guidance_Department#I_screwed_up_with_the_WSOP._What_can_I_expect.3F|I screwed up with the WSOP. What can I expect?]]".
 Now that the WarSOP consists of "you can fly anything, but here are some tips" - what exactly is left that you can breach?!
+== Proposal to Add Caveat Emptor to WSOP ==
+WSOP should begin with a prominent paragraph along the lines of:
+High security wars are serious and could easily lead to the loss of your ship and pod. It is YOUR responsibility to learn to protect yourself from being unwilling victims of the war targets. The University will not protect you, but it will teach you to protect yourself. These survival skills will be invaluable in EVE Online.
+Explaination
+As an older noob player (Sophmore literally means wise fool), I see a disconnect between the new players entering the UNI after the most recent WSOP changes and the older corporation members from before. The older page used to innately convey that high security war are serious business with big red and green rules for what you can and cannot do. The new one gives no such indication that high sec war might be serious, or that you might die. Instead, only a few sections down it eventually casually links to our tips on how to survive during wartime. That page is a wall of text that even the most studious applicants are not going to read during the already thorough application process.
+I fully support the new WSOP itself, but the current page needs to better address the needs of our newest players, who are just then applying to the UNI. By setting their expectations there, on a page they are supposed to read and summarize during the application process, I hope we can cut down on the proliferation of these threads.
