Test Service
An expanded testing service
available to all Michigan secon-
dary schools on a vountary basis is
being planned by the University,
Provost James P. Adams an-
nounced yesterday.
Present testing services which
have been carried on for 15 years
in cooperation with the Michigan
Secondary Schools Association
will be enlarged, to help all schools
in their guidance program.
A field staff, upon invitation,
will assist in setting up a program
to evaluate their curricula, know
their students better and to plan
a future guidance program.
The service is designed to meet
the needs of all students, not
merely those preparing for college
Work.
Participating schools may sub-

Three students at the University
of Utah have thrown away their
books and headed for the wilds of
Alaska to hunt for gold. They're
hoping to follow in the tracks of
another Utah student who was
able to pan enough gold there to
put himself all the way through
Law School.
When asked why they were
leaving at this specific time, one
yawned and said he was just tired.
Another came a lot closer to the
truth, however. "We couldn't face
midterms after we haven't faced
the professors since the beginning
of the semester," he said.
Scientists at the University of
Southern California are trying to
figure out a way to desalt the sea
as "the only and inevitable answer
to California's fast-growing need
for water."
The scientists will really have a
goal to shoot at too, if the Las
Angeles county board of super-
visors carry out their plan to offer
a $1,000,000 prize to anyone dis-
covering a means of economically
taking the salt out of sea water.

The folks in Florida know
where their bread and butter is
and they're doing their best to
perpetuate it. Florida Southern
college has established the first
Citrus School in the country.
Now in its second term, the
school has 90 aspirants for the
degree of B.S. in Citrus. Students
have start'ed a Students raom
through nearby citrus groves,
raise trees in their own nursery,
and even publish their own news-
paper, "The Seedling."

The University of Washington's
student researchers have come up
with an answer to a problem that
might have caused civil war in the
little town of Kent, Washington,
which had two chief constables
both grimly down an office due to
a mayoral mix-up.
The research department has
dreamed up a special I.Q. test
which both constables have agreed
to take. There'll be plenty of proc-
toring on the exam, and both con-
testants have agreed that the top
score will win, ending what the
student paper calls "the comedy of
constables."
Students at the University of
Colorado may now study books
and newspapers by using new
microfilm readers, the Silver and
Gold reports. A 29 volume biblio-
graphy on 87 sheets is on file it'
the library, and more reading
material is being added to the
microfilm files each day.
The school is receiving the New
York Times regularly on micro-
film, one reel containing issues for
10 days including pictures. Film-
ing of this kind saves 98 per cent
of the storage space previously
needed for the Times. Over 600
reels are now available for student
use.

Auto Industry-
RaisesOutput
DETROIT, Feb. 23-(')-The
auto industry again is building
more than 100,000 cars and trucks
a week.
It got back into high ground last,
week with the end of the indus-
trial gas shortage. This week, with
several plants working overtime,
total output may go above 110,000
units compared with last week's
approximately 105,000.
Major factor in the upturn was
the return to production of Chrys-
ler's car divisions and the Pack-
ard plant. They were idle for
about three weeks during the cold
weather industrial gas curtail-
ment.
Also figuring in the upsurge is
a steady increase in the output of
re-designed models just intro-
duced. Oldsmobile, which re-de-
signed its "98" series and called it
"futuramic," has made about 2,000
of the new cars so, far. Currently
it is making about 130 "futuram-
ics" daily at its Lansing, Mich.,
plant and expects to reach volume
output by April 1.
With fewer major changes Olds-
mobile's "60" and "70" series mod-
els are coming off the lines at
about average postwar volume.
Also in limited production with
a completely new line of 1948 mod-
els is GM's Cadillac division.
