POOR AMMUNITION:
Eat Green Tomatoes, Leaves
For Vitamins, Says Botaniist
By IVAN KELLEY
When you eat a ripe tomato in-
stead of the leaves of the tomato
plant you are being about as logi-
cal as the slapstick comedian who
eats the wrapper and throws away
the candy bar.
This is one of the conclusions
to be drawn from the vitamin re-
search of Prof. Felix G. Gustafson
of the botany department.
Prof. Gustafson has found that
the concentration of vitamins B2
and B2 in the leaves of the toma-
Damsel.

well if they get worms and frogs
to dissect," Nadine explained.I
"The best tiey ever have is a rat
or rabbit."1
The young deer that's doomed
to dissection is one of many who
starve each year during the .spring
thaw. Anticipating these multi-
ple deaths, Detroit newspapers
send their cameramen up to Hig-
gins Lake each year to get gory
pictures of the dying deer.
According to Miss Literaty, "The
conservation officers spend their
free time for several weeks tearing
around the woods finding dead
deer for Detroit reporters."
to is more than twice as great as
it is in the fruit. His research has
shown further that the vitamin
content of green fruit is greater
than that of ripe fruit and that
young, growing leaves are endowed
with more vitamins than old
leaves.
Sheds Light
From a study of these phenom-
ena Prof. Gustafson has concluded
that vitamins are produced in the
growing leaves and that they dif-
fuse from the leaves to the other
parts of the plant, including the
fruit. His research has thrown
light on the process of vitamin
production as well as showing the
location in which the process takes
place.
In one of Prof. Gustafson's ex-
periments some plants were grown
in light varying from very bright
to very dim and other plants were
grown in complete darkness.
Progressively Richer
He found that the plants be-
came progressively richer in vita-
mins as the light intensity was in-
creased and that the plants
grown in darkness were poorest,
of all in vitamins. From this he
concludes that vitamin production
depends very heavily on the ef-
fect of sunlight and that the proc-
ess is probably connected in some
way with photosynthesis.
Regarding the comparative vita-.
min content of tomatoes and to-
mato leaves, Prof. Gustafson con-
cludes that "You can hardly ex-
pect people to eat green tomo-
toes or tomato leaves but they
would be getting more vitamin B1
and B2 if they did."

Views of Masaryk's Death
(Continued from Page 1)
Under the "hazy" circumsta -
ces, it is impossible to tell wtmt
Masaryk's death might bring
about, Dr. Manfred C. Vernon, of
the political science department,
declared, and added that it was
possible his death was "not vol-
untary."
At the same time, Abbott Simon,
a representative of the National
Council for American-Soviet
friendship, told The Daily that the
entire situation was "misunder-
stood" by the American people.
Simon was in Ann Arbor yes-
terday to discuss the success of
various council campaigns with
officers of MYDA and the Ralph
Neafus Club, local Communist
Party organ.
He said that if Masaryk killed
himself for political reasons, it was
probably because "he, as spokes-
man of the liberal west, had been
betrayed once again by the West-
ern Powers."
The murder possibility was dis-
missed by Simon as "definitely not
possible."
Memorial services for Masaryk,
who was active in Unitarian
Church work, will be held at 10:30
a.m., Sunday by Rev. Edward H.
Redman, at the Unitarian Church.

Opportunity 'JIo Study Abroad'
Offered American Students
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in
a series of artices on going to school
in Europe.)
By DOLORES PALANKER
Now is the time when a student's
fancy turns more earnestly to-
wards what he's been thinking
about for the last semester and a
half-what to do this summer.
If you have the time, the ambi-
tion to learn as well as enjoy your-
self, and-a minor detail---money,
why not go abroad to study at one
of the several universities offering
courses to American students.
Several British colleges and uni-
versities have opened their doors
to 600 Americans who will not only
gain full credit for their studies
but may also apply for scholar-
ships. The colleges and their
fields of concentration are: Ox-
ford, European Civilization in the
20th Century; University of Lon-
don, Contemporary English Liter-
ature; St. Andrew's in Scotland,
Tradition of European Civiliza-
tion.
More Open Doors
The list continues with Birm-
ingham, Shakespeare and Eliza-
bethan Drama; Leeds, Britain's
Economic Future; Nottingham,

All students who wish to attend
the English universities must send
their applications to the Insti-

Practically FrE o
Attendance at one of these sum-
mer sessicns would cost the indi-
vidual no more than $600 includ-
ing travel expenses, room and
board.
Universities in France which
Americans may attend at a not
much greater cost are offering
courses in French cultuire and civ-
ilization. They include: Aix-Mar-
seille, College International de
Cannes, Besancon; Bordeaux, to
be held at Pau; Caen; Dijon;
Grenoble; and Montpellier.

vard Raspail, Paris VIe; Poitiers,
Institut de Touraine, to be held at
Tours; Rennes, to be held at
Saint- Malo: and Royaumont,
