His fate at the polls was the same as his normal treatment by proof readers. When the votes were counted, he was the little man who wasn't there. You haven't met Shrdlu? Well, when linotype operators make a mistake, they finish out the line of type by running a finger down the keyboard. Out pops Etaoin Shrdlu.

College officials tried to learn who distributed and printed the signs. They failed. Print shop work ers denied they had anything to do with it. Student leaders said it was a mystery to them. And Etaoin Shrdlu himself was back in the linotype case, enclosed as usual. white fir. 101.172.000: spruce, 63.08.000 and 529.00. Engelmann cedar. 57,- Northwest Wins Paving Contract SALEM.
