Example: Well Amazon of a trun! it CENTAUR: A man with a horse where his pants ought to be. SOUTHPAW: A southern father. GENTLEMAN: A man uho never, unintentionally, gives offense. COUNTERFEIT MONEY: Pseudough. FISHING: An uninhabited body of water completely surrounded by liars in old clothes.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS I think we might profitably consider for a moment the case of Mrs. Anna Wasylkow, a civilian clerk in the navy who. answered the office phone ONL MINUTE AFTER CLOSING TIME and got into deep hot water as a result It happened like this: The clock struck quitting time. She put on her -coat. The phone rang. Instead of ignoring it, she answered it. Trouble started the next day. Her immediate superior called her on the carpet for disregard of regulations. Two weeks later, she was reprimanded by the superior next highest up the totem pole and told that if she did such a thing again within a year her "repetition of the of fense might result in applica tion of higher penalties." rpHE reprimand was a black mark on her record and as long as the black mark was there she would have trouble obtaining promotion. So she APPEALED. On the first level, her appeal was denied and she was told she was GUILTY OF INSUBORDI NATION. That got her dander up. So she appealed to the sec retary of the Navy, Mr. Thomas Gates, who quashed the charges against her and sent her back to work with a pat on the back for doing her work as a "good and faithful servant should. COMMENT? Well, thank the Lord, SOMEBODY had some sense. Congratulations, Mr. Gates. CONTINUING this sympo sium on human problems, a 20-year-old former mental patient admitted to Sacra mento police that he shot his parents to death because "they made me practice 10 nours a aay on the accor dion." He said he shot his father with a pistol as the father was sitting in an armchair in the living room and then shot his mother in the back of the head as she fled from the room. IIHAT to do in such cases? " cases? Well, the problem has been with us a long time. rRO-MAGNON man, accord- mg to records in caves in the south of France, put all imperfect infants to death, the idea being improvement of the race. That may have been as long as a million years ago. jviore recent! y say a couple of thousand years ago the Spartans exposed im perfect, along with the old and the infirm, on the moun tain tops, rney, too, were seeking improvement of the race. Something New, Old is Theme on SOC Campus I T ISN'T the intention of this piece to endorse these older methods. They are cited merely to prove that the problem is an old one.

No one was injured. When the opera was resumed, the carriage scene was elimi- I nated. Ashland- "Something new and something old" is the theme for Southern Oregon college these days as Med ford Architect Robert J.
