    Exhibit A --

    From (presumably) a Princeton student
    (see Activity, March 24):

    Exhibit B --

    From today's Sunday comics:

    Exhibit C --

    From a Smith student with the
    same name as the Princeton student
    (i.e., Dagwood's "Twisterooni" twin):

    Literary Exercise:

    Continuing the Smith student's
    Psychonauts theme,
    compare and contrast
    two novels dealing with
    similar topics:

    A Wrinkle in Time,
    by the Christian author
    Madeleine L'Engle,
    and
    Psychoshop,
    by the secular authors
    Alfred Bester and
    Roger Zelazny.

    Presumably the Princeton student
    would prefer the Christian fantasy,
    the Smith student the secular.

    Those who prefer reality to fantasy --
    not as numerous as one might think --
    may examine what both 4x4 arrays
    illustrated above have in common:
    their structure.

    Both Princeton and Smith might benefit
    from an application of Plato's dictum:
