KNOWLEDGE
TEAM BEATEN
The Exercise in Knowledge
team, consisting of Dave Marks,
Andy Gaus, Bob Evans, and
Doug Smith, finally met defeat
at the hands of Howe last Sunday night. The final score was
220-140, although the contest
was much closer than the final
score indicates; the halftime
score was Howe 120, Shortridge
90.
Shortridge got off to a bad
start, although leading, 15-10,
falling behind, 20-70, before
closing the gap at halftime.
Howe capitalized on two bonus
questions and its quickness in
the math relay question. Shortridge was strongest in math,
chemistry, history, and spelling,
but seemed to fall down in current events.
This is the second time in
three years that Howe has eliminated Shortridge. The other
time was in the finals in 1962.
Howe, because of its victory,
will be in the finals Sunday,
April 26. Its opponent will be the
winner of next Sunday's contest
between Cathedral and South-
port.

ECHO Staff Goes
To Visit Journal
Members of the ECHO staff
met at the home of Tom Prager
at 11:30 last Saturday morning
for an. outing to the Franklin
Daily Journal, which is near
Greenwood.
ECHOites were taken on a
guided tour of the hew modern
building and its city room, which
was unfortunately not very busy
at the time, since the staff
members only work half a day
on Saturday.
The guide explained how the
process of the newspaper used
no hot metal at all. . . . This
Is a considerably cleaner method
than the method used by the
ECHO. The staff saw stories
coming in from United Press International on the ticker-tape
machine.
While touring the dark room
a few members of the staff were
lucky enough to see some pictures being developed. The dark
room used infra-red lighting.
The staff members could see
the big yellow presses in action
from the outside, since the
building is made largely of glass.
Large red cabinets used for storing also line the front of the
building.
ECHOites were given free copies of the Dally Journal and
then started on their way back
to Indianapolis. After arriving
back home, the staff met at
the home of Tom Prager once
more for a nourishing pitch-in.
