New Elements Discovered
BY DR. T. EULENSPIEGEL
In a recent study of the well
known prevarication reaction
two new chemical elements
have been discovered. The
first, with an undetermined
nuclear mass, a charge of - 1
and strangeness of 0, has
been given the name of Fiction.
The second element, with a
charge of +1 and a strange
ness of +l, is called by the
name of Truth, it being well
known that truth is stranger
than fiction. These two ele
ments combine to form a com
pound known as truthitonium
Jan Poston, an elementary
education major, will present a

used to supplement course

Psychology of Women, Vol. 11.
The remaining books will be
ordered and on the shelves
in the bookstore by the first
of next semester.

decays in a period of time
known as the moment of truth.
The compound is very hard
to make as truth particles are
illusive and hard to find.
Fiction particles, on the
other hand, are abundant,
particularly around fishermen
and certain other people. If

old adage —-truth will win out

very shortly be left with a
