Economics Teaching
KENT, Ohio (ACP) Designed to
train those not in actual military serv
ice when the United States reaches a
position of total emergency prepared
ness, a new course in the economics of
war will be inaugurated in February
at Kent State university.
' The course is based on problems of
economic needs of a warring nation in
man power, raw materials, facilities of
production, distribution and finance
Particular background training will be
given on the problem of substitutes
for war-trimmed war materials, and
on factors that tend to prevent war
time output from reaching a peak
level.
, Economic psychology is a separate
division of the course. The economic
necessity of preventing chaos from
conflicting military and civilian de
mands on the national productive
capacity is one of the most importan
features of the program, it is an
nounced by Dr. C. C. Kochenderfer,
head of the Kent State committee on
aconomics.
Other sections of the course will dea
-with priorities and price control,
'''heroic taxation," the temptation of
Moan finance and inflation, rationing of
-.consumer's goods, government opera-
tion of industry, and foreign trade and
; shipping under wartime economic con
ditions.
JSYA Aids Estimated
.150,000 Undergraduates
WASHINGTON, D. C. (ACP)
The National Youth administration
estimates its program for aiding stu
dents is enabling 150,000 undergrad
uates and graduates to continue their
studies in colleges and universities. -The
average monthly wage to under
graduates is $13.46, while graduate
students are paid an average of
21.78. NYA fixes a minimum of $10 a
month and a maximum of $20 foi
undergraduates, and a minimum of $10
and maximum of $30 for graduates.
Pavments are being made from
NYA's $13,713,225 fund for the 1940
41 academic year, which is pro-rated
among non-profit-making colleges and
universities on the basis of enrollment
of students aged 16 to 24.
Officials of the institutions select
the students for NYA work and assign
them to research and laboratory, cler
ical, building repair, library and other
tasks. ,

Plastic Microscope Cover
PITTSBURGH, Pa. (ACP) D
quesne university's biology depart
ment reports an important contribn-1
tion to scientific study through de
velopmeat of a plastic microscope
cover.
Science heretofore has used plaa-
ties in ash trays, lamp bases, automo
bile dashboards and scores of other
products, but not until now have plas
tics been employed to advance micros
copic study.
Discovery that there was an immv
nent shortage of the original glass
covers, previously produced in uor
many, launched Dr. Robert T. Hance
-
and two of his students on a year's re
search that has resulted in the new
type cover. Without the covers it is
impossible to study a specimen.
Seeking a thin, - transparent sub
stance with all the qualities of glass,
the researchers developed two sub
stitutes which make use of plastic ma
terial It is claimed the new covers are
considerably cheaper to manufacture
than those of glass and that they make
possible clearer observation of plant
and animal tissue under the micro
scope.

Sorority For Tall
Girls Only at ASCW
MONTEVALLO, Ala. (ACP)
One of the most unusual all-girl
groups ever formed on a college cam
pus, the Hi Kappa Kappa sorority for
tall girls only, is enlivening Alabama
State College for Women.
The sorority, which welcomes girls
who are 68 inches or taller, has some
charter members who are six feet in
height but none taller as yet.
At first the sorority planned to elect
the tallest girl president each, year by
acclamation, but soberer "democratic
instincts" prevailed and now officers
are, chosen in the traditional voting
manner.
Members must pledge themselves
to call other girls on the campus who
are not 68 inches tall "shrimps."

Con troyersy 'Arises Over Size .
Of Largest Star In Heavens
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (ACP)
It's a controversial world, and even
the astronomers are having trouble
agreeing. ,
Recently a University of California
student came up with new figures to
show that Ras Algethi, in the constel
lation of Hercules, is the largest star
in the heavens. The astronomy sopho
more, George H. Herbig, said his fig
ures upset the previous theory that
the largest star was Antares, in the
constellation Scorpio.
According, to Herbig, Ras Algethi
is 690,000,000 miles in diameter, about
800 times larger than the sun.
Now, however, comes Prof. William
J. Luyten of the University of Min
nesota astronomy department, who
says Herbig's figures are not entirely
correct. Actually, he says, a much
arger star is the binary "supergiant"
companion to the' star Epsilon Auri-
gae, discovered in 1938. .
There was considerable question for
time about whether the supergiant
"ghost" actually was a star because
it emits only dark, or infrared, rays in-
ary" so-called because its periodic
appearance in front of ihe known star
diminishes for a time the amount of
light thrown off believed to be more
than 6,000 times the sun's diameter.
Star observations taken at different
times vary because of difficulties of
observation rather than because of

Art Professor Advises Coeds
To Seek Becoming Colors
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. ACP)
Women should select becoming colors
and not colors to fit the current styles,
according to a Westminster college
art professor.
Harold J. Brennan, head of the art
department, has advised Westminster
coeds to observe the following don'ts:
-Don't wear obvious, bright colors;
wear subtle on-shades.
Don't fail to look at the color of a
street dress by daylight before buying
it.
Don't wear bright colors in large
masses; wear them as you would a
bracelet or a handkerchief.
Don't ask your girl friend about
your clothes unless you're sure she will
be frank with you.
Don't forget that texture is as im
portant as color in determining the
kind of clothes tha,t look well on you.

And despite Carolina's safe margin
of victory, records show- that the
Phantoms shot more than 100 times
the entire 40 minutes and completed
only 20 field goals Victory was
achieved more by dint of State's lack
of success at hitting the cords than
by the Phantoms' success at racking
up their usual high point totals.
If anything, their punch was weak
tonight, considering the great number
of times they had the ball in their pos

away the ball on many occasions while

Once the type of flu has beea
termined, a preventative serum cj
be obtained from the blood of the fer.
rets which have developed immunity
to this type.
: The ferret is the only animal which
is susceptible to an inoculation of in.
fluenza from a human being. How
ever, rats may be inoculated with
germs obtained from the ferret
There are several rats in Dr. Brown's
laboratory who are also sick with the
flu.
Flu symptoms in the ferret are
very similar to the symptoms in a
human being. There is a definite rise
in temperature with subsequent loss
of appetite and general weakness.

While ill the ferret requires f re
quent and careful attention, Dr.
Brown's "patients" receiving much
more attention than the average stu
dent in the infirmary.
Dr. Brown recognized the fact that
an entirely different type of flu may
be discovered by these experiments,
in which case work will immediately
begin on a serum to combat it.
Within two weeks the type flu prev
alent here will be determined, and pre
cautions can be made against it.
However, the ideal serum, accord
ing to Dr. Brown, will be a combina
tion of serums against all the known
types, making an epidemic of flu a
virtual impossibility.
