EXTENSION COURSE: Informality Rules at Ceramic Class Weather Lab To House Civil Engineer Research Inexpensive Medical Aid Noted at U' By HENRY FINNEY "I'm a potter, not a sculptor," commented J. T. Abernathy, In- structor of Ceramics, explaining that students can do sculpture in his class even though the course is designed for ceramics. Two and a half hours every ,1 .I' Shirts get our r Wednesday night during the last semester the students taking Ab- ernathy's extension course ii cer- amics at the Architecture Build- ing busy themselves with fashion- ing and finishing different kinds of pottery. Although about twenty students have registered for the course for the last five semesters, only two thirds or a half of the class stay with the work. The students get no credit for the course. They work solely on their own interest. Work at Potter's Wheel Abernathy sets each student to work at a potter's wheel, and then instructs them by going from table ADVENTlRE TRAVEL to every corner of the globe , .

There are no lectures or formal demonstra- tion periods. Some students re- marked that they were somewhat disappointed because there was so little formal instruction.. The class has two large kilns, one electric and one gas, and a small electric kiln at its disposal. Another large gas kiln is now be- ing built. Most of the clay used is a nat- ural clay which comes in powder- ed form from New Jersey. Some Michigan Slip, a clay mined near Birmingham, is also used. Mixed Artificially All pottery, from the crudest earthenware to the finest crystal, is made from essentially the same materials. The contents of finer pottery like bone china and crys- tal are mixed artificially. Clay contains the same compounds, on- ly in different proportions, with some impurities, and naturally mixed. Dime store mugs are amazing- ly fine pottery, said Abernathy. If they were thinner and fired at a temperature they would be like bone china. This semester, along with the Wednesday night ceramics ex- tension course, there will be ex- tension classes in oil painting andi other art forms.1 By GAIL GOLDSTEIN Now just a bare skeleton of a room, the penthouse laboratory atop East Engineering Bldg. will soon house equipment which will keep a weather eye on the heavens. Set high on the five-story struc- ture as to permit an unobstructed view of the sky, the new labora- tory will be used for instructional and research purposes, according to Prof. E. Wendell Hewson of the civil engineering department. Along the sides of the room box- es and cases of instruments are standing waiting installation be- fore actual operations cadi begin. Observatory Instruments Students in meteorology will take laboratory courses in the new fa- cility which will be equipped with basic instruments for observing, recording, and simulating weather phenomena. Also the site of research pro- jects, the laboratory will be the location of one sponsored by the U.S. Air Force. This project will deal with the diffusion of pollen and industrial smokes into the at- mosphere and their rates of pene- tration onto buildings, Prof. Hew- son noted. Working full time in the labora- tory on the Air Force study will be A. Nelson Dingle, of the staff of the Engineering Research Insti- tute. Dingle is regarded as an au- 3 ',O&l thority on the behavior of pollen, Prof. Hewson said. V. C. Liu, re- search engineer with the Institute, will also work on this project. Penthouse Tower Plans are now underway for the construction of ,a 70-foot tower atop the elevator penthouse next to the laboratory which will also be used for observation. The steel triangular, self-supporting struc- ture will look like a radio or -tele- vision tower. Wind direction, wind speed, and wind turbulance read- ings will be tabulated from obser- vations from this tower. With completion of the labora- tory set for about two months from now, the activities of the lab will also include observation of at- mospheric pressure, temperature, rainfall and wind. Observations of solar radiation will also play an important part in the lab's activities since this has become important as a source for energy for heating houses and mechanical purposes. Greer To Give First Concert Frances Greer, soprano, will give; her first concert in Ann Arbor at; 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in Lydia Men- delssohn Theatre. Miss Greer joined the School of Music faculty as a lecturer in voice, last September, after a career as leading soprano in the Philadel- phia and Metropolitan Opera Com-; panies. She will be accompanied by Eu- gene Bossart, pianist. Bossart also joinedrthe music faculty last Sep- tember, as a lecturer in vocal lit- erature and instructor in accom- paniment. Included on Miss Greer's pro- gram tomorrow will be selections by Arnold, Purcell, Pergolesi, Ra- vel, Poulenc, Weill and Hageman. The public is invited to the con- cent free of charge. 1 i- a atte ntio.j J'' It Is possible to have an ap- pendectomy performed at Health Service for about $100. Ordinarily a doctor would charge approximately $125. Low cost operations are only one of the many services provided by Health Service. Fifteen days of general hospitalization each se- mester or summer session are pro- vided without charge. Medical exams for new students, immunizations, simple drugs and other services are given to the stu- dents without cost. General Fund Students are able to get medical service at reasonable prices be- cause of general funds contributed by the University said Dr,.AV. E. Forsythe, Health Service director. Limited dental service - is given by graduate dentists at Health Service. Some cleaning is done end simple fillings are put in. The der - tai school provides more exten- sive service. Charges are made for special prescriptions, expensive drugs or excessive time or service. Fr ex- ample, students must pay for hos- pitalization days or daily expenses above an allowance of $14.25. . Health Service aims at provid- ing the greatest amount of service in the least amount of time. Medi- cal costs are minimized, the build- ing is centrally located and every- thing is done to aid the student and avoid becoming involved in time consuming detail. Architecture Talk An illustrated lecture on North African architecture will be given by architect, author and photo- grapher G. E. Kidder Smith at 3:30 p.m. today, Architecture Auditor- ium. The lecture is open to the pub lic free of charge. ~P a- - -- -..s I.. tue1Dnlei egredaea u 4',, I IF YOU WRITE, WE HAVE IT Like that welcome h1ome" Liss or that "glad STUDENT SUPPLIES tac hug . . shirts are something special with you re us.
