Under his arms were stacks of books, and from his buck teeth (maybe $1.50) hung a glistening slide rule. This moronic looking creature was an engineer. As he drew closer to the HT campus, one could see that it was our snooping reporter. As our moth-eaten hero stopped to give his corpusles a rest, an idea struck him. Quickly recovering from the cowardly blow, he turned into the union. But suddenly realizing that two unions on the campus would make too much work for S. W. (Sonny Weissman), he took out his book of magic and re- sumed his own shape. Taking off his coat. and hat, our stoop-brained reporter Whipped out a pencil, piece of paper, and his morning dose of adrenalin. Turning to the man next to him (No. 18732), he cluttered, “May I use your slide rule? Mine is in .-'~v rent filamentary my briefcase, and the termites won’t let me in.” Upon steak—erm- borrowing the slide rule, be pro- ceeded to work. Back and forth went the slipstick as our hero muttered, “2x2 equal 3.98; hmmm .02 experimental error.” Suddenly our hero stopped, wip- ed the foam from his lips, adjust- ed his two-way stretch, and cried, “l’ve got it.” “You mean your best friend told you,” No. 18732 cried. “No! No! 879.75 times no!” our hero cried. “Form a crowd and I. will divulge my secret. Maybe I'll even tell it to you.” “Look,” our hero explained, “by using my invention, no longer will students have to out gasoline at- tendents double or nothing for their gas bills. All they have to do is make the back wheels on their car twice as big as the front wheels. Then the car is always go- ing down hill, and no gas is need- ed. Not even a small coke with lemon is used,”
