Phi Eta Betas-Poser Why Did He Do It, Huh? The Phi Eta Beta Fraternity met last week for the first time in their bi-monthly meetings, which meets twice every year. Some of the topics of their discussions were: Should we have more teachers, or just should we? Is chemistry a science, or well, I've known it "science" I've been here? (Two years of the same course.)

Their wide knowl edge of chemistry is so thin that one can till ,tp the first line of the first page of an English book.
