State for the university's student newspaper, The Techni cian. It was one of a series of articles in which Spann discussed the proper perspective of learn ing within a gradepoint system. "To Him I will bow and pray." This sign hangs above the desk of a prospective engineer trying to "learn" his craft at State. It is hung with as much reverence as a sacred picture might be dis played on a church wall. Each morning and afternoon he looks at it and gives it a rev erent nod, for the magic number is truly his god. He must con stantly try to achieve its image. He must constantly conform to the standards the gradepoint god sets for him. He must constantly try to please the demi-gods of books, quizzes, assorted facts, test tubes and other heavenly ap paratus that will give him the grace to achieve the image of this great god.
