The masthead is written in a Blackletter font (graphically, it's similar to the New York Times). The headline and body typeface is Miller; the body font is Roman in 9.5 point. Text columns are 44mm across and 4mm apart, fitting eight columns per page. These produce columns that fit approximately 17 words per column centimetre or 35 words per column inch. Paragraphs have a 3mm indent, starting at the second paragraph. At least half of the pages are printed in full CMYK colour, with the rest in greyscale.

Midterm Examination
Ms. THODE
November 7, Yr. of D.A.U.KEEP YOUR ANSWERS BRIEF AND GENDER NEUTRAL.
ITEM 1

As an agoraphobic, you are driven to pathologically stay at home and not leave. You cannot leave home.
(1c) But, from (1a) you are pathologically driven to go out and steal, steal, steal. But from (1b) you are pathologically driven not to ever leave home. You live alone.

(1d)Thus, respond to the question of, what do you do?
