18 STUDENTS OUTWIT TEACHER; WILL GET LIQUID REFRESHMENT

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

I. S. Stamm '28, Instructor in German, will be minus 90 cents worth of Coca-Colas and his academic dignity tomorrow.

Stamm made a bet some time ago with the students of one of his German A classes that they would translate the word "single" incorrectly before Christmas. He felt certain that they would translate it "one" instead of "several." The stakes were a coke for each of the 18 students if they lost, and 18 cokes for him if he won.

But the odds were too much for Herr Professor, and as a result the entire class will make a field trip today to Billings and Stover to get its reward.
