You are CORRECT!!! He got an "A" in siphering. However, he still can't spell. He lets Ellie Mae do that.Quote:

I was in Logan's in Shreveport today and noticed the Miller Lite LA Tech sign was missing from it's spot on the wall, but the LSU one was still in place. When the waitress came to take our drink order I said that can wait - send the manager over right now. When he got there he asked if everything was OK. I said I'm not sure, where is the Miller Lite LA Tech sign? He said are you Tech people? We all said yes and he said both of my parents went to Tech, but I didn't. He then said the Miller Beer guy took it because part of it wasn't coming on. I said it is being replaced isn't it? He said probably, why would you stop coming? I said yes. He smiled and then I said I'll be looking for that sign.

Most of the clasrooms had no air conditioning and the heat was steam heat.Quote:

I cannot tell you what the temperature was, exactly, but it was single digit. Yes, steam heat on the second floor.:D
Actually, we had a big bon-fire the next morning, as the "T" building behind Carson-Taylor burned up!
Girls had to wear dresses or skirts to class. (I almost said were not allowed to wear pants or shorts, but that really would have caused a stir). They used to wear rain coats over their PE uniforms to walk to the football field for field hockey. Girls also had restricted hours graduated by what year they were in and what night of the week. Freshmen girls could stay out 'til 9pm week nights if they were in the library (made that a popular place).
I never stayed in Hale either. Got my freshman room reservation in early and was in Richardson. Still three to a room with only two closets. Had one single bed and one bunk bed, three chests of drawers and three desks with chairs and only one sink. Yes we had running water in those days, and yes it was crowded.
Really didn't need air conditioning so much. School didn't start until mid to late September until we went on the Quarter System.
Yep, that is EXACTLY the way it was. And the guys had to wear lace up shoes or loafers....no sandals or tennis shoes.Quote:

Some of you students may want to try this................ One of the ways I would meet girls is to carry my umbrella on a cloudy day and hope it would rain. There would always be some nice looking girls that would be stranded because they did not bring their umbrella. They would be standing at a door, looking at the rain, and wondering what they were going to do to keep their hair dry. I would pick one out...walk up and offer to share my umbrella...to walk them to their next class, tonk, their dorm, etc. Of course, I'd have to hold her close, so we would both fit under the umbrella. Then, we would talk while we walked. I met a lot of girls like that and got some great dates too.
The best way to keep in shape was to have a room in Neilson. Although, it was new, about 90% of the time....only one elevator was working. The other 10% of the time...NO elevator was working. It was a long way up the stairs to the 9th floor!
Don't remember any rules about dress for men students. Button down shirts were about all you could get in those. A few polos, but definitely no tees. Might have been a "rule" against tennis shoes, but no one wore them except to gym or for sports. Just style, I guess. As for slacks , I didn't have many. Mostly wore jeans, sometimes the white ones. Knew a lot of guys from cities (my roommates were from pineville) and they wore slacks because that's what they wore in high school. A tie to class -- can't recall seeing any except some of the professors. And Yes I graduated the year before 70TECHGRAD. I was an engineering student, so maybe some of the other guys wore ties. Everyone did dress up for football games, not just home coming. Not so much for basketball.Quote:

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this...
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
So, that's what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.". Drinks for the ten men would now cost just $80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men? The paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?
They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.
So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.
And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving).
The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings.
"I only got a dollar out of the $20 saving," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,"but he got $10!"
"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar too. It's unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!"
"That's true!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back, when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!"
"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison, "we didn't get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!" The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

I'm sure glad they stopped coverage of our Bulldogs to let us know about it. I guess they knew I would have just changed the channel had they waited until after the game to announce that, but by holding our game hostage they made sure somebody stayed tuned.Quote:
