For the benefit of its many pea- nut-eating readers, The Daily re- cently undertook a quasi-scienti- fic survey of peanuts-in the ma- chine and out-and discovered that you get more for your money when you buy peanuts over the counter in the bulk than from machines or in cellophane pack- lages. * * * USING controls in their experi- ment in true scientific spirit, Daily investigators discovered that for five cents a peanut-buyer can pur- chase 122 shelled peanuts weigh- ing 1 % oz. in the bulk, 103 pea- nuts weighing 1 % oz. from regu- lar peanut vending machines; and only 50 -peanuts (100 halves) weighing 1 1/16 oz..already pack- iged. Statistics compiled by the surveyors showed that an equal amount of peanuts from the vendor and the machine have an entirely unequal weight. While 103 machine peanuts re- gister 1 % oz., the same number of over-the-counter or "bulk" peanuts weigh 1 /2 eoz. To secure identical weight measurements between the two "varieties," Daily experimenters hadto reduce the number of bulk peanuts to 95, as compared~ with the 103 of the machine peanuts. "These figures prove conclusive- ly that bulk peanuts not only give you more for your money but are also meatier in quality, hence their greater weight," the sur- veyors explained. * * s FIVE CENTS of packaged, fac- tory-skinned peanuts proved the lpaltriest of all, a mere pittance compared with the other two varieties used in the experiment. It took only 84 machine pea- nuts and even less-76-bulk peanuts to register the same TIGHT BUDGET? CHRISTMAS PROBLEMS? You'll be surprised at what a couple of bucks will buy at BALFOUR'S 1319 South University. -Dally-Tom Seyferth SCIENCE AT WORK-Surrounded by peanuts of several varieties, colors and textures, as well as a thrice-tested ounce scale, two-- Daily investigators compile information to help their readers beat the peanut racket, While one investigator jots down im- portant statistical findings, the other prepares to test the taste quality of one of the varieties on a helpless member of the Im- partial Board. BETTER BUY 'EM IN THE BULK: Group Gives Results of Scientific Peanut Survey weight as the tested amount of 50 package peanuts. The survey also showed that 109 package peanuts were re- quired to weigh the same as 103 machine peanuts, while 115 of the former had to be placed on the scale before a weight could be reached equal to that of 104 bulk peanuts. In view of these startling fig- ures, The Daily investigators were forced to consider why many pea- n u t-consumers prefer package peanuts to those of any , other variety. An on-the-spot questionnaire revealed that most package-buy- ers are susceptible to the bitter taste of skins and are too lazy to skin the peanuts themselves. THE DAILY investigation also found that for five cents peanut dilettantes can dabble in 1 1/16 oz. worth of Giant Redskins. (38 1/ peanuts) and those who prefer peanuts mixed with molasses, the same price will buy a jumbo block peanut bar, which weighs 1 % oz. denuded of wrapper. The actual number of pea- nuts in the bar defied count- ing, even by Daily peanut ex- perts. Realizing that price alone is not a complete criterion for the pru- dent purchaser of peanuts, The Daily conducted a peanut quality t survey among a board of six im- >artial judges. Though the judges were picked at random, one of them proved to be a peanut connoiseur, having worked in a peanut factory for 1 two weeks last summer, before be- I ing transferred to the company's o potato chip division. it * * * t THE JUDGES were blindfolded E and were given three peanuts lab- eled A, B and C-machine, bulk C and packaged peanuts respective- f ly. s The peanuts were tested for bouquet, flavor, freshness, salti- ness, and general appearance. For the last factor, the judges c were permitted to remove their blindfolds. f An A, B, C, D, E ranking stand- ard was adopted for the test, A being equated to 4 points, B to three, C to two, D to one, and E to zero. Results of the.survey were amazingly conclusive. Bulk peanuts copped a total rating of 81 points, while pack- aged peanuts followed with 78 points, 11 more than machine peanuts. Vendor peanuts led in flavor and freshness, while pack- age peanuts were chosen as hav- ing the most fragrant aroma and the best general appearance. Machine ,peanuts, which polled third in every other qual- ity, headed the list in saltiness, which more than half of the board considered an undesirable quality. None of the peanuts polled an E in any of the five qualities tested. From this fact the inves- tigators concluded that even bad peanuts taste good to the peanut- hungry. * * * "I PUT A nickel in the slot and all I ever got was five salted pea- nuts," many peanut customers de- clared several years ago, and no wonder. They should have used pennies. Daily investigators strived to establish once and for all an answer to the perpetual ques- tion: which coaxes more pea- nuts out of the machine-a nickel or 5 pennies. After several attempts to dis- cover the more lucrative coin, the surveyors conceded victory to the pennies which averaged 7 peanuts more than their competitor. This was about half the average haul of one penny alone.. The entire survey cost The Daily 85 cents, plus the wary, look of one Ann Arbor drug- gist, who, questioning the au- thenticity of the test, some- what reluctantly departed with his peanuts-at a price. London Trip Planned by 'Student By BOB MARGOLIN To most of the students on cam- pus, Christmas means a trip to Detroit, a vacation to Los Angeles r maybe Florida, or a journey, not infrequently made, to the home own somewhere in the United tates. But for Geoffrey Leigh, '52NR, Christmas 1950 will afford him the' irst opportunity in 15 months to pend a few weeks with his family and friends in London, England. * * * LEIGH'S Christmas present came early this year in the form of a long distance telephone call rom his family and subsequent de- ivery of a round trip ticket- to L.ondon. At present, he is busying him- self with complying to all the provisions of the recently-passed McCarren Bill to assure himself of speedy reentry into the States next month. Leigh came to Michigan to study furniture production. He claims that the University has a world wide reputation in the field. AS A LLOYD House resident, he is also availing himself of the op- portunity to actually experience American social customs. "I decided to extend myself and behave as American students behave," he said. "British stu- dents are more conservative in. every way. "This is a place where you can lose your inhibitions. In England nobody in his right mind would wear white 'bucks,' go to pep ralt lies or do any of the other rah-rah stuff. He is a member of the Union staff, chairman of the West Quad Holly Hop and belongs to other campus organizations. * * * DURING the vacations he tra- veled all over the Northeast and Eastern Canada and attended & University extension course in Grand Rapids. Leigh, who spent a year at London University, claims that in English schools the student is expected to be able to make his own decisions. "For instance, all students are allowed to drink," he explained, "and there is even liquor in the dormitories." What does he intend to do, ree weeks at home? *1 am going to eat some good food, visit rela- tives and friends who I haven't seen in over a year, go to as many parties as I can and help celebrate my brother's 21st birthday, which in England is an important event." New Bulletin Board Plan Used Bulletin boards in University buildings traditionally cluttered with a conglomeration of out- dated notices are being brought up to date by Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity. APO has inaugurated a new system designed to eliminate the overcrowding of bulletin boards because of notices which are not removed after they are no longer of current interest. * * * UNDER THE new plan all no- tices and advertisements destined for bulletin boards (except offi- cial departmental boards) are to be left in a basket provided for them in the Office of Student Ar- fairs. The originator of the notice is asked to designate the bulle- tin board on which he wants it placed and the length of time for which it will be valid, ac- cording to Bob Lapham, '52E of APO. Notices wil be placed on any number of bulletin boards the originator desires after being picked up each day in the Office of Student Affairs by members of APO.I C oi'f _- --- > ;: ..;r:< : ( g For the woman who adores distinctive jewels, there's nothing finer than Trifari.
