Therefore any statement made by a student is subject to doubt, and anything subject to doubt is not necessarily true. So let us assume the fact that all students lie, and that all fac ulty members tell the truth at all times. A stranger ran into three men the other day in Harry's. He asked them what were their con nections with the University. B said "'A says I am a stu dent . . ." But "C" interrupted and said "'A is a member of the faculty." "B" then said in a deprecating manner, "u is a student." ' W - Going by the fundamental as sumption that all Carolina stu dents lie can you figure who is a student and who isn't? Answer to Saturday's quiz: Earl Ruth's foot is considered to be a good 12 inches. Whether or not he can get to the designated point depends on geometric progression. Taking one foot as the first term' of the progres sion and Vi as the ratio we substitute in the formula: sum of distance cov ered by steps equal to one foot di vided by one less Vz. Solving this we find the sum equals two, which is the number the sum tends to approach as the number of terms is increased indefinitely. In oth er words he will never really get as far as double his first step. 4 i. ' t r i
