Professors shall supply themselves with rubber slide rules in order to illustrate bending moments and cantileversg this will also permit them to stretch a decimal point now and then. Professors shall be personally liable for glass slides broken on slide rules dropped by students during their quizzes. ' Two men shall be assigned to calculations involving two decimal places. Double integrals must be used sparingly: triple integrals and partial derivatives are abolished entirely. Hydraulic discharges of more than l,000 cusecs shall not be allowedg this is enough Water for any one. Should trouble arise on Saturday night because of this provision, the losers must wait until Sunday morning. Grading of M. E. reports must be radically changed: this business of tossing them into the air and assigning A to those sticking to the ceiling and B+ to those standing on edge must stop. Hereafter a pound of report shall count 80 credits. The noise in the M. E. laboratories, instructors present or not, must not at any time exceed 20 decibels. The number of current transformers allowed on any one experiment in E. laboratory shall not exceed 20, nor the total number of instruments 80. The sum total of lead wires is limited to 600 feet. Professors may not use jokes more than five years old, nor shall the reception accorded these so-called facetiae be made a function any longer of the length of the assignments. Chemical laboratories must be supplied with fragrant iiowers and other houbi- gantian appliances at regular intervals. 'Locomotive loadings greater than E50 may not be used, nor shall any indeterminate structure be allowed. If it cannot make up its own mind what it is, we should not be required to guess riddles. Tuition fees shall be reduced 50 per cent, and rebates of half this- amount calculated up to date of release shall be allowed. ENGINEERING BASKETBALL TEAM Forty-:zine
