Erno Rubik, a teacher of architecture and design at the School for Commercial Art- ists in Budapest, was the inven- tor of this ingenious master- piece. Seeking to sharpen his students' ability to visualize three-dimensional objects, Ru- bik proposed a three-by-three by-three cube whose six three- by-three faces would rotate about its center. Each face would be colored uniformly, but repeated rotations of the various faces would scramble the cube, making it extremely difficult to work it back to its original consistency. Every business, home, class- room, and office has a Rubik's Cube, with each hand having a turn. The market was in- stantly deluged by several vari- ations and immitations of the ever-popular Cube , Cube Puzzle, Pyramid, and Ru- bik's Snake are just a few. Warning: Cubitis magica is extremely contagious and in- curable. However hard it may be, the best way to prevent this disorder is to never touch a Ru- bik's Cube. 4, adfv' -4-4 4.5, ,4 X fx x ...

The warm water splashes across his back. As he gives a big yawn, water fills his mouth. Finally, the shower's over and he tries to come to life. Before he begins to dress himself, he turns the radio on to be sure to catch the Whitaker and Barclay Show on Rock 106. By the time he finishes dressing, it's pushing seven fifteen. That leaves only ten minutes to eat breakfast and get to the bus stop. Chuck Whitaker and Tom Barclay had to hurry to coordinate the records and advertisements for their morning show, Jan. llth.
