and Wednesday after the first Sun-

steps being taken by many of the

The eleven lines of typogra
phical gibberish, which appears
at the close of the editorial on
page two, are entirely a result
of an wror in making up the
paper. Quite naturally, anyone
reading or attempting to read
the lines would know that they
had nothing to do with the edi
torial comment regarding the
honor system.
Almost everyone is familiar
with television “test patteriM,”
and those eleven lines were done
as a “test pattern" for linotype
adjustment. Through error they
were included in the make-up
of the editorial column, and they
should not in anyway reflect up
on the serious importance of the
ccmments In the editorial.
It seems trae, as a usual
thing, that many readers see
the mistakes in a newspaper
first, so perhaps the “pi lines,”
as SBch gibberish is referred to
in printing, may serve a good
purpose if they can attract the
attention of the readers to the
editorial itself. Certainly exam
ination week is a time when the
;
i honor system should attract at-
\ teotion in some way or other.
