Corrections

Every Correction the Rubric has printed. The Rubric regrets each of them and stands by all of them.

Vol. I, No. 3

There are no corrections. The Rubric has not yet been wrong.

In Vol. III, No. 21, I described Reverend Hale's necktie as "red." It is not red. It is burgundy. I was seated in the front row at the time and should have seen the difference, and I have been closer to it since and can confirm. The Rubric regrets the error. The Rubric will be more careful about color going forward.

Vol. IV, No. 33

None.

"Test everything; hold fast what is good." — 1 Thessalonians 5:21

Vol. IV, No. 34

None.

"Test everything; hold fast what is good." — 1 Thessalonians 5:21

Vol. IV, No. 35

In Vol. IV, No. 34, I described Mr. Pruitt as "rarely speaking." He has now spoken twice in two weeks and lowered a shelf. The Rubric regrets the error and does not know what to do about it.

"Test everything; hold fast what is good." — 1 Thessalonians 5:21

Vol. IV, No. 36

In Vol. IV, No. 35, I described the Reverend's necktie as "burgundy." Having now examined it under a number of lighting conditions and from a range of distances, I am confident that burgundy is correct, and I am printing this confirmation so that readers understand the Rubric checks its work. The tie is burgundy. I am certain. I have never been more certain of a color.

The Weekly Rubric is printed on Mrs. Odom's copier and folded by hand. Grades are final. Appeals may be submitted in writing and will be graded.

Vol. IV, No. 37

In last week's issue (Vol. IV, No. 36) I stated that Reverend Hale's tie was "burgundy." Having examined it at closer range, I can now confirm it is oxblood. The Rubric regrets the error. The Rubric will be more careful. The Rubric intends to examine it again to be sure.

Vol. IV, No. 38

The Rubric has stated in nine consecutive lock-in reports that the observer does not sleep. This is no longer accurate. The observer slept from approximately 3:20 a.m. until 6:00 a.m. on the bottom bunk nearest the wall, on his side, facing the wall, and was not aware of the 3:00 round or of anyone returning from it, and woke with his tie tied and his glasses on and a red bandana he does not recall moving. The Rubric regrets the error. The Rubric does not regret the sleep. The Rubric will be correcting the phrase in future issues to "the observer does not intend to sleep," and would ask readers to hold him to it, because he is not confident he can hold himself.

Vol. IV, No. 39

(1) In Vol. IV, No. 37, I stated that I had awarded the A+ "exactly four times in four years." I had awarded it eleven times. It is now thirteen; twelve of them are Reverend Hale's posture and one is not. The Editor was distracted at the time of counting and has since identified the distraction. The Rubric regrets the error. I do not regret the distraction, and would ask readers not to write in about the phrasing, because I have already been written to about the phrasing by a nun.

(2) In Vol. IV, No. 38, I referred to the next Bethel Lutheran lock-in as "the summer lock-in" and placed it "twelve weeks" out. It is the Advent lock-in. It is thirteen weeks out. I was tired when I wrote the Notice, and readers who wish to know why are referred to the Correction in that same issue, which explains it, and which I stand by, and which I have been told by two clergymen and one seminarian I should not have printed, and which is on the internet now, and cannot be taken back.
