still sinking
According to a popular
belief, McLouglin Hall is
rapidly sinking into the
earth. This is not so, ac
cording to one science
department member,
who wishes to remain
anonymous. We shall
call him Jones.
“Oh, McLoughlin Hall
may be sinking very
slowly at the rate of a
fraction of an inch a year,
but nothing like the
massive collapse which
has been reported,” said
Jones, “What has been
reported is an optical
illusion caused from the
sun’s rays refracting off
rainwater.”
When reminded that
some students who have
^classes in McLoughlin
have been entering the
building through second
story windows, Jones
replied, “the students
are
having
hallucinations. They
were probably on acid or
something. Sure, like I
said, the bauilding has
dropped a little, but not
much. It was built on
very stable swampland.”
