ortor and ready for this auction, and we want it at this morning setting it up." Mr. Fernandez said.
AT EXACTLY 1 P.M., Freeman, taking his portable voice projector, headed for the far corner of the backyard where most of the items were piled. Those interested in seren-dipitus finds followed him. About 300 people packed the grounds.
Old saws sold for $3, hammers for $1. A jumble of amuncles and pilers went for $2 and $4.
Sometimes the desire for a certain object inflated its price far beyond its apparent
value. A patter of old padlocks without keys went for $7.
Thirty minutes later, Freeman had reached the table loaded with household items, ranging from silver and china to rusted cheese graters and plastic orange juices.
LOOKING LIKE a politician on the stump, surrounded by intelligenent listeners, Freeman railed against what he called "the media."
With the help of assistants who held up goods and spotted bidders, Freeman had moved quickly, but the table with household goods had slowed him down.
It was extremely difficult to determine how fast an auction would go by looking at the table.
JODY BENNETT, 1900 W. first St., a regular auctor-goer, warned that a person had to be careful how he moved at an auction, lest his action be mistaken for a bid.
"Keep moving horizontally," he said.
"Don't even bat an eyelash, or they might call on you."
Hard economic times or not, Freeman said, he still does about 50 auctions a year. And usually there is nothing left by the end of the day, he said.
"There won't be any leftovers today," he predicted confidently. "Whatever is left over."
And by the time everybody had carted off their buys, the yard was empty.
Professor says essay tests not graded solely on content
By United Press International
INDIANAPOLIS—An Indiana University professor says he has stopped giving essay tests to students because he discovered pen soffen was judged as important as the answer.
Even a student's name may have as much to do with the grade he or she gets as the answer given, said Clinton Chase, a professor of education at IU. He says multiple-choice
tests can evaluate student knowledge just as well as essay questions.
"The grading is the problem," he said in a telephone interview. "I started out thinking essay tests were the way to go, but the more I worked on it, the more I turned up evidence of things that were not content-related, but were determining the scores on the tests."
Security
The quality of penmanship and grammar was reflected in scores regardless of the answer given and even the position of the test in a stack of papers can affect the score, he said.

part of the University Libraries system, has no security system at all.
"We operate on the honor code," Maxine Younes, circulation assistant, said.
In addition to law students, business and education majors now use the stacks, she said.
THE LIBRARY IS restricted to people using law materials. Younes said, but other people do
"It is becoming more and more apparent that this is a popular place to study," she said.
Younes said that it was impossible to tell exactly how many books had been stolen from the library.
law library. The staff concluded the library's first invention since there has been only recent science since then.
"It behaves us to become a part of the system," she said. "We need protection from non-law students who don't have to follow the honor code."
THE SPECIAL Collections Library in the Spencer Research Library has a different form
Bill Mitchell, associate special collections librarian, said books in this library better treated than books in other collections.
No one is allowed to take a book from the special collections library, he said.
Special collections not only has closed stacks but is a closed library also. Library assistants can check the patron's id and patron has. They check to see that the book is returned before the person leaves, Mitchell said.
"It would be cheeky to say that it is undefeatable," he said. "In this world, everything is painful."
"Every security system devised has been de feated."
THE MATHEMATICS library, the smallest on
campus, has also developed a working security system.
Ruth Fauhli, library assistant, said that traffic through the library had gradually increased over the years, especially since computer science material is being used more and by non-users.
TO INCREASE SECURITY in the past years, the staff has turned the check-out desk around so the librarian has a better view of the door. Books that have had to be replaced become available and the librarians also avoid having textbooks or books that are on reading lists on the shelves.

One Smea Sirihi, a graduate student in journalism from India, was responsible for an effort entitled "U. S. Shishta Israelis in" the 28th June of the University Daiyan Kuman (IDK). Ms. Sirihi considers Israel's Prime Minister Meramcheng Begin "quite a personality," because he "has see it an idea of a threat of any conceivable kind to his country he decides to put his missiles to." The expansionist tendencies of Israel are no secret to the world. In June 1981 been used guns on Iraq's nuclear reactor. Why? Because it might have been used against Israel one day. According to this flawless logic, one shouldn't stop at anything.
Ms. Sirohi, who feels that a nuclear reactor is only "an lots of a threat," evidently failed to absorb even the slightest scientific knowledge in her presumably diplomat-trek down the academic trail. Or her inability to assimilate could be unwieldy which would account for her ignoring the fact state war that has existed between Iraq and Houthi for years, or for exploiting the lack of governmental support. Ms. Sirohi is probably reasoned that if the governmentally-designated mouthpieces in Iraq couldn't answer this question she should be expected to do so.
Almost certainly Ms. Sirohi categorizes Kennedy as an expansionist because of his reaction to the Soviet-inspired Cuban missile crisis. Whether Ms. Sirohi might exhalt a little more compassion when classifying this country's answer to the ever-expanding aggression of the Axis in World War II, or North Korea's 1950 invasion of South Korea is, I'll admit, a mood question. However, when discussing the long standing Arab-Israeli conflict, it is pertinent to note the importance of the U.S. defense of Israel by the United Nations (U.N.) in 1974. The U.N. ignored its own charter by accepting an entity (the PLO) totally committed to the destruction of a fellow member (Israel).
The PLO has gradually become a victim of its own creative powers; by constantly fabricating falsehoods it has rendered itself unable to discredit reality. This organizational failure recently found expression in a statement that, despite the series of defeats suffered by the PLO in Lebanon, called upon Israeli forces to pull back six miles from the Gaza Strip in order to prevent the threat of a response to the PROIs a intermittent战局 of war as "genocide", Syla's Ambassador to the United States proclaims himself a victim of this same communicable malady.
For as long as the Palestinian people permit themselves to be manipulated by the misanthrophic pot-ton tyrants of Syria, Iraq, and Iran, they will remain the vanquished fantasizing about the spoils.
