        "summary": "Caption controversy The title of the letter \"A missing alum\" (The Jakarta Post, May 28, 1994) caught my attention and prompted this response. As far as I know, the word 'alum' refers to a chemical compound and not a former student. Alumnus (pl: alumni) is the correct word that should have been used in the heading. The Oxford dictionary to which I referred substantiates it too. I believe it was a typing error or just an oversight. A. KRISHNAN Surabaya, East Java Note: Thanks for your comment.",
