Everybody snailed back to classes
Monday looking and feeling like the
dregs. Even ORTUUD, the most pos-
itively charged ion of optimism on
the campus, looked definitely sunk
after four days of nothing but (to,
two, too) MUCH . , . Talking about
beat Up looking people we hand out
the blue ribbon to young SHERIFF
SHUEIU.K who stalked around last
week doing the Lone Wolf act.
JAK1E was just smarting under a
little KITT'S discipline that bounced
him >>11 tiie football teain for nine
days, but JAKIE'S rc-instated now,
even lias a brand new position that
will give him a chance to carry the
mail oftener. STEEX thinks STEEN'S
position out to be changed too.' After
gaining thirty yards or more ott an
end run he ejaculated, "Damn, I told
you all along I should have been, a
hackfield siian:'," . . . But getting back
to SCHl'F.HI.K, lu- went to ; that
fatal dance agai^il his better judg-
ment, and all in the interests of
Knighthood's (lowering;, He just had
to show Hie VISION IN WHITE
from Hondo some big city debauch-
cry and lie \Miit to the right place
. . . At the same Saturday night push
RANDALL BROOKS was the very
epitome of chivalry apologizing to a
certain ;ildue-hosied and esteemed
friend that he was about to get
shellacked and would she please not
think t.he'i less of him for so. ltidulg-
III nature.

Editor, the Thresher: a|HBM
I wish to call to your attention a de-
plorable error in mathematics cotnniitte.l
in the last issue of the Thresher. Your
story about tlie Cam prattle start" saying
heh tu the nth pi.wer is open to a plural
number of interpretations--an ;1 iniiuitc
number,1 'in facta ■ hIsSa
Iweu considering possibility that you
intended th> "expression, to be ' :t ■ poly-
nomial with integral expuiieiits, there
are still a gieat many values which n
could have, anywhere from otic to in
fltiity ; while cousidcring the general Case
we find that n could have a fractional,
irrational.; or complex' value.
1C n were negative we would', then
have to transfer heh to the denominator
before expanding it, and if n were then
very large we would have the Campanile
slitflf giving one liftie..''bitty friiction of
a,heh/.so small that tlje Campanile would
have to whisper into a high potyer de-
creasilier tn get ihe right iflw^aMK
Or if 11 should be some irrational
quantity like pi or e, the Campanile staff
would have to faugh a fraction'out tu
an infinite number of decimal places.
\i',),iich ihca.ns that they would have lo
use one big bliss latigli as ii denominator
laugh, and an alto laugh for the nuincra-
lor laugh, and the two laughs would
have to he ly.ntintted sitmdtatieously and
nidi finitely, because the fraction never
conies ou.t even. ,
Ef|hte| yOtl never got heyoin.1 Math 100
or ihe Cii/H/ai'iif/c stalT , is doing' uniijue;
laugiiiiig. . Don't you think the Thresher
had lutter let math alone? I never could
iindtfi'sti'tnd how .you got the right an-
swer hotbat monkey i problem.

OCCASIONALLY a telephone wire must be nm
tinder a rug or carpet. The twisted wire formerly
used made un unsightly ridge.
So Western Electric — manufacturing, distributing
and purchasing unit of the Bell System —produces a
flat cord only one-eighth inch thick, seven-eighths of «
un inch wide. (Like this «dOEEEkta>). Within this
tiny space are four conductors of insulated wire. Un-
der the rug or carpet this cord is not seen, not even
felt.with bare feet.
Even to the smallest detail, the Bell System is con-
stantly on the lookout for the better way to make
telephone service more satisfactory to the customer.
College men and women find after
7 P. M. a convenient time for mak-
ing long distance calls. Moreover,
most rates are lowest then.
