Gov Man Visits Slide Rulers Finds Crafts Man caters Tame

An innocent government major threaded his way to crafts Physics Laboratory to beard the scientific mind in its lair, yesterday. Slide rules glowered at him and vacuum pumps threatened him with exhaustion. Quietly he slipped into the office of Howard H. Taken, keeper of the University's mathematical mechanical brain, said by many to feed on classics concentrators, and sat down to chew his nails.

On the desk, amidst the maze of blueprints and French curves, he was surprised to see a friendly, non-technical face--a small wooden frame enveloping rows of large beads. Taking note of his childlike delight at meeting an ally in the enemy camp, the receptionist explained, "They use it when the machine breaks down." And he wasn't afraid any more.
