Notes for October 9, 1998

1. Greetings and Felicitations!
1. Updated General Information handout posted to the web

2. Puzzle of the Day: 1) it was wrong because the student should have asked permission first. 2) the chairman's actions were acceptable, as a full account of the student's actions of breaking in and then confessing all were reported. 3) the staff's actions were stupid; they should have secured the hole and then pursued the student.
3. Robust Programming
