TAKES PATIENCE:
Willow Village Student Grows
Baby Orchid Plants As Hobby

By WALTER DEAN
It takes a great deal of patience
to ,play nursemaid to baby orchid
plants, but that is just what Edwin
Cole does in his small room in Wil-
low Village.
When he came to the University,
Cole, a graduate student in chem-
istry, built a glass flower box for
his "babies" which was so con-
structed as to enable him to keep
Teachers Test
For Juniors
To Be G1v en
Approximately 450 juniors who
anticipate obtaining a teacher's
certificate or are considering
teaching as a possible profession
will participate in a series of tests
Tuesday and Thursday.
These tests are being adminis-
tered for the education school by
the Bureau of Psychological Serv-
ices. Test results will be presented
to each student in percentile rank-
ings on an individual record card,
and results will not become a part
of the campus permanent person-
nel file.
This is one phase of a newly es-
tablished personnel program in
the education school. The primary
pui'pose sof the program is to as-
sist students in obtaining better
knlowledge of themselves and of
their -relative strengths and weak-
nesses.
The test results will give an ap-
praisal -of each student's objective
reasoning, general cultural back-
ground, reading ability, ability to
use the English language, and per-
sonality inventory.
The cost of tests and scoring
will be-assumed by the University.
A personal inventory of this type
was previously conducted by the
education school as part of a psy-
chological laboratory course. Un-
der \this new system of testing,
however, much time is saved and
the -liboratory course can be elim-
inated from the curriculum.

'he temperature and humidy in
he box fairly constant.
Hoping for Warm Weather
Right now he is hoping for warm
weather so that the plants can
'et a little fresh air without freez-
ing, instead of their usual diet of
;he stale smoke of a Village room.
So far he has been greatly ham-
oered by having to grow the plants
outside of a greenhouse where they
develop most favorably. At the
gameutime he must correct normal
formulae for growth'to fit his spe-
,ial set-up. However, he is hope-
ful of being able to grow orchids
successfully very soon and said
that he will probably turn his
hobby into a full-time job if he
finds that he cannot use his chem-
istry advantageously.
Cole first became interested in
orchids as a young boy when he
walked through a hotel lobby in
his home town of Marion, Ind.,
while a flower show was in prog-
ress. "His enthusiasm was imme-
diately aroused by the fascinating
display of orchids being exhibited
and, setting aside his stamp col-
lection-which he found "not
nearly so interesting"-he started
gathering information on the
growth and culture of orchids.
Read Books and Articles
He read books and articles on
the subject, and talked to botan-
ists who had had experience with
the plant, but he still had many
lessons to learn through his own
experience.
Asked for their. opinions of Cole's
unusual hobby, his roommate and
neighbors who see him watering
and attending -to his plants, all
admit that they are waiting for
the day when the first full-sized
flower is grown so they can save
themselves some money by giving
their girl a "home-grown" cor-
sage.
Schoolmasters Ciub
Labor relations, minority group
problems and :religious tolerance
will be the subjects for discussion
at the 60th annual meeting of the'
Michigan Schoolmasters' C lu b
which will be held here Thursday
through Saturday, April 26.

WILL PLAY BISHOP-James
Holmes, speech department stu-
dent, will play the role of Cau-
chon, Bishop of Beauvais, who
betrays Joan of Arc in George
Bernard Shaw's drama "Saint
Joan" to be presented by Play
Production April 24 through 26.
Andropologist
Unearths Old
Indian Relis
New traits of the ancient Hope-
well Indian culture were revealed
when pottery, implements and
other artifacts antedating 1200
A.D. were unearthed at an ancient
Indian village site in Illinois by
an excavating party of the Mu-
seum of Anthropolgy during spring
vacation.
Prof. James B. Griffin, director
of the anthropolgy museum, and
five students collected a large
number of artifacts from eight
levels of the site, which is located
on the east bank of the Mississip-
pi River in Calhoun County. The
implements were found to be made
from various metals native to the
Rocky Mountains and northern
Michigan area.
The findings will be studied
to determine the duration and
changes of the Hopewell Indian
culture and its chronological po-
sition in relation to other cultures
in the Mississippi valley. Similar-
ities in artifacts have indicated a
connection between sites through-
out this area.
U' Professor
To Go Abroad
Dr. Werner E. Bachmann of
the Chemistry department will
sail Thursday on the Queen Eliza-
beth for Europe and will deliver a
series of lectures in four cities in
Switzerland.
The trip has been planned and
sponsored by the American-Swiss
Foundation for Scientific Ex-
change, Inc. The foundation was
established to develop closer ties
between scientists in the United
States and Europe by sponsoring
trips by prominent American sci-
entists to Switzerland and arrange
for a similar number of top-flight
Swiss specialists to visit centers of
scientific work in the United
States.
Dr.-Bachmann's trip will carry
him to Zurich, Berne, Geneva and
Basle. He will be accompanied by
his wife. A leave of absence was
granted to him for the period from
April 20 to May 31.
Aliniiius 17NJamed
To U. S. Delegationi
Dr. Alwyn V. Freeman, '30, as-
sistant legal advisor to the Depart-
ment of State, has been named a
member of the American Delega-
tion now en route to Geneva,
Switzerland, to participate in an
International Conference to revise
the Conventions of 1929 on Pris-
oners of War.

Hardships Are
Part of German
Student's Life
"Just enough to keep a grass-
hopper going" is available in Ger-
many, according to Walter O. C.
Zuschke, president of the United
States-Student Relation groups in
Germany.
In a letter to Franklin H. Lit-
tell, director of Lane Hall, Zusch-
ke reported on student activities
and living conditions in Marburg
on Lahn, Greater Hesse-Germany,
International Center of the U. S.
Zone.
No Paper
Apologizing for his inability to
send the complete program of the
Center at Marburg University,
Zuschke explained that "we have
no paper what-so-ever to have it
printed on ... we can't buy any-
thing, only what is on our ration
cards."
"The small amount that is be-
ing manufactured is going imme-
diately to the black market," he
said." This is the reason why our
propaganda-equipment is limited."
To promote better understand-
ing between nationalities, an in-
ternational summer school was
established during Sept., 1946, at
Marburg, Zuschke wrote. Profes-
sors from the United States, Eng-
land, France, Switzerland and Hol-
land taught at the school. During
this year's summer-term, the first
student-exchange with Switzer-
land will be established.
American Exchange Students
"We hope to be able to start the
same with the United States. This
will be almost impossible with the
present food situation and housing
problem over here." However, he
expressed the hope that some
American students might be able
to come to the second interna-
tional summer school at Marburg
during the month of September.
The social activities and educa-
tional program of the student re-
lation groups in Germany are ded-
icated to the problem of helping
German students find their way
back to "the policy of tolerance,
understanding and friendship."
Despite the difficulties of this
task, Zuschke hopes that "with
the help of friends in the States,"
the program may succeed.
