If you have called Binding and Finishing recently, you may have noticed a new friendly voice on the line. That friendly voice belongs to Bertha Stanfill and she is a new staff member in Binding and Finishing.
Bertha is a student in the Library Technology program at Foothill College. Her previous work experience includes employment at the very busy Noah's Bagels in San Francisco. Bertha's combined library studies and experience working in a hectic environment should make her feel right at home in Binding and Finishing!
Please feel free to stop by and meet Bertha, or give her a telephone call to say welcome.
Bertha's telephone number: 3-1510.

Here's the latest Phony Reference Question sent out to the Green Deskers. I try to give some dramatic context to these things, which explains the confessional tone of our user's request. Answer(s) in the following issue of News Notes.
Question:
"I was at a party the other night, got rather drunk, was leaning against a wall, when this guy walks by, frowns at me and says: 'As Novalis said, Character is fate.' Maybe it was because I was so drunk, but that seemed real profound, so I used it in class the next day. Well, someone says that Novalis stole it from some old Greek guy but changed it to suit himself. Who was the old Greek guy and what was the Greek saying? I don't read Greek, but I'd like to find out what the original Greek really said. Is it anything like what Novalis said?"
You get points for the Old Greek Guy, for the other possible meanings [what do the scholars say?], and bonus points for a transliteration from the Greek, so that we can all be pretentious and give a Greek quote in Real Greek. Enjoy.
