Upon being questioned, he laughed hysterically and contin ued to sharpen red pencils with a blood-stained butcher knife in preparation for an unannounced blue book. To get the student opinion, we queried a fifth semester poly synthesis major on how he was going to celebrate the merry oc casion. He curtly grinned, con tinuing to stick sharp needles in a voodoo doll, which strangely resembled the professor of poly synthesis 482, and with his free hand cleaned his teeth with a nine-inch switchblade knife. —Photo by Shanken "LUTE SONG."
