Tea Dai Suicide- t's E Out For Yow By BARBAR Write a feature. Ha, ha. Tha So I proceeds to write. I'm k 10 minutes of fast thinking an writer, I whiz into the editorial of journalistic endeavor down "Are you crazy!" the editor yelps, forgetting to put a question ing inflection in her voice. "This is the trashiest piece of drivel you've ever written, if qne piece could be called worse than the others." She flings it disdainfully into the wastepaper basket. "A blither ing idiot could do better than this," she adds as an afterthought. I resent being classed as below j blithering idiot, because I learned in psychology there ain't no such class and I'm the kind that craves companionship, so I start back to -work. Man, this time I really give it everything 'I got. My whole sparkling personality is reflected in that delicately chiseled, perfect ly balanced feature. It^,? Witty? Intellectual? Simple? Kid, it's got everything. It's got IT. I triumphantly stomp back into headquarters. "Here!" I shout hap pily. "I will collect royalties from this as they come in. No hurry." (I always try to be as magnani mous as possible.) She reads it and a look - I'm telling you, fella - of absolutely maniacal joy comes into her eyes. She looks almost delirious. "This is it," she sobs as she pulls out a .22 and shoots a hole in her head. I don't know what it is but lots of people have reacted to my ar ticles that very same way. I would stop writing, but as I say, I'm a magnanimous gal and I'm willing to sacrifice a few lives to give the world the benefit of me. Research Shows Class Size Effect Recent research on the effect of class size on student discussion seems to indicate that the size of a group makes a difference in the effectiveness of the learning ex perience of the group as a whole. This statement, released in a re port by Vera Z. Washburne of the Stephens College psychology de partment, gives further evidence that there are disadvantages in groups being either too large or too small.
