Typewriters

“That steady clikita-clack heard on Doheny Library’s ground floor toward semester’s end is the merry noise of frantically punched typewriters rushing those this-is-the-last-chance-you-have term papers through. An uninflated dime procures one of these swift machines for a half hour. Hunt and peck specialists who find even this steep, might induce a sweet lassie to type two-pages for a pound of candy. ($1.20)”
