plant Diamond Sprkles....'----:
In Mineralogy Showcase
BY MARY LETSIS
If diamonds are a woman's best
iend, then the mineralogy de-
artment can offer some wise tips
> girls eager to form such clean-
it friendships.
For a 3,00-carat paste diamond
presently sitting in the depart-.
ent's showcase window!
It is a copy of a diamond which
is found in 1900 in the eastern
rt of South Africa. The orig-
al was too expensive for anyone
buy and was so big that it
uldn't possibly be worn. "Can
u picture a diamond the size
a baseball hanging around
nebody's neck?" Prof. Chester
awson of the Department of
neralogy asked.
'THIS 'CULLINAN' diamond,
it as later nicknamed, was acci-
ntally found by an official of
mine company one day as he
Ls walking through the mine.,
cut it out of the soft rock with
spenknife, put it in his pocket,
d headed full-speed for the safe
his office. And to this day, no
imond has been found to match'
beauty or size, Prof. Slawson
ntinued.
As the South African govern-
lent owns 60 per cent of the+
ompany, the officials had to
ecide whether they should cut
uis giant gem into smaller
ems.
'he problem was solved when
neone suggested that it be given
the King, and so it was added+
the crown jewels, Prof. Slawson
THE SIZE of a diamond, how-
ever, is not the most important
factor in determining its value.
"The two main characteristics
to look for in a diamond are its
color and flaws. If the rough
crystal is free from all color or
.is slightly tinged, this grada-
tion in color can make a big
difference in its cash value. Or
if it has -many flaws, this, too,
can cut down the value," he
continued.
A poor polishing job can tem-
porarily damage a diamond's
worth, too, Prof. Slawson pointed
out.
AEC Grant
A warded' U'
A two-year contract for continu-
ing the development, alteration
and operation of the 300-million-
electron-volt "race track" synch-
rotron, has been awarded to Uni-
versity scientists by the U. S. Ato-
mic Energy Commission.
According to Prof. A. E. White,
director of the University's En-
gineering Research Institute, the
synchrotron will aid physicists to
study the center of the atom by
providing them with means for
speeding up electrons to within a
fraction of the speed of light,
thereby enabling them to investi-
gate the structure of the protons
in the center of the atom.

"But a poor cutting job can be
replaced with a good one-and
the price of the diamond will then
automatically- rise. Cutting a
diamond just right is important.
For cutting-or faceting as it is
often called-is simply slanting
the cut on the diamond surface
so that the maximum amount of
light will be reflected. This re-
sults in the brilliance of a dia-
mond."
"And, incidentally, the dia-
mond, while being the hardest of
stones, is not immune to a good,
hard hammer blow. More than
one curious buyer has smashed
his fortune to smithereens."

Fifteen handwoven rugs will be'

SL ToResume Duties Tod(ay
Despite the approach of tradi-
tionally sweet St. Valentine's day,
the relations between male and
female on the nation's campuses
remained strange, amusing, and
at times, explosive.
* * * ,
THE "DAILY Californian" of
the University of California-self-
advertised "Monarch of All Col-
leg Dailies"-looked down upon
its subjects in a recent issue and
wailed in a banner headline: "IT
LOOKS LIKE THERE'S GOING
TO BE A SHORTAGE OF WO-
MEN AGAIN."
The "Californian" deplored
the four to one ratio of men to
women announced by university
officials for the mid-year en-
rollment.
MEANWHILE, rumors flew
through Michigan StaterCollege
that a "green hair" fad may be
underwayamong MSC coeds. The
rumor was 'attributed to the suc-
cess one "dyed green" freshman
coed had had in attracting the
attention of State collegians.
Since the freshman dyed her
tresses green, she has admitted
an upswing jin her popularity.
Her stock has risen and so has
the number of her dates.
BUT IF green hair was troub-
ling State's males, coedskwere,
equally perturbed over the kissing
problem in front of women's dor-
the following letter to the editor
of the Michigan State News:
We live in East Mayo dormi-
tory and we have a new rule
which states there will be no
kissing in front of the dorm in
the light or on the steps. The
reason given for the rule is that
the sight is extremely unplea-
sant to passersby. The question
is, who passes by that time of
night except students who are
certainly used to the light?
"Whenever we come home the
saying is 'take to the woods.' What
looks worse, kissing in front of the
dorm or dragging your date into
the bushes?"
On the campus of Texas West-
ern College, two students were dis-
covered bartering. The following
conversation was heard on the
Texas Western campus:
"Have some peanuts?"
"Thanks."
"Want to neck?"
"No!"
"Give me back my peanuts."
Post Office Hours

announced a change in closing
