COMMERCIAL EXPLOITATION: Experiments May Revolutionize Theory Clubs Start I '55 Contest HEADQUARTERS for ALL WOOL Lawrence B. Slobodkin, of Mich-' igan's zoology department, is presently conducting experiments which may revolutionize the theory of commercial exploitation. Slobodkin's first hurdle Is to control and understand the num- bers and kinds of animals existing in nature. After this is ascer. tained, a method of exploiting them can be determined. Exploita- tion deals with the number of animals which can be utilized and' still maintain a balance for the continuance of the species, with- out leaving an overabundance. Daphnia Being Studied Artificial communities are set up where the experimental animal, the Daphnia, is observed. This particular animal is used in the experimentation because its life' span is from one to ten days. Therefore, results can be quickly obtained. Populations of Daphnia are kept in constant conditions in an incubator, and are "fished" ac- cording to various exploitation systems. They are then counted every four days with the use of a microscope. The ultimate goal is to find the method for the greatest yield and the most stable population, and to Cater To Speak Douglass Cater, Washington edi- tor of "The Reporter," will speak on "A New Look at the Power of the Press" at 3 p.m. today in Audi- torium C, Angell Hall. At League Tonight and tomorrow night are the dates for the traditional an- nual poetry contests sponsored by Le Cercle Francais and Sociedad Hispanicia.

Prizes will be given in each of the three divisions of the contest, poetry for students of beginning, intermediate, or advanced French. Professors of the department will act as judges. Students from all levels of Span- ish classes will compete for re- cords and books about Spain in the contest to be held at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Henderson Room of the League. Art ExhibiPtion.

Two Similar Studies This study is the first of its kind. However, there have been two similar studies, one conducted in Australia using flies and one in Chicago using beetles. Financial' aid for the experiments is supplied by the Rac1kham Faculty Research Granrts and the Rockefeller Foun- dation. The results of the testing, when perfected, will possibly be used by fisheries on a national and international scale.

But he's got a swell point of view on smoking-he smokes Luckies for better taste. Luckies taste better because they're made of fine tobacco that's TOASTED to taste better.

Doubtless you have heard talk of an outstanding Washington corre- spondent or of an outstanding foreign correspondent. The chances are you have heard very little talk of an outstanding local reporter. Yet an' outstanding local reporter is one of our ,most valuable citizens. Through hard labor, he has acquired a thorough knowledge of many important things in his community, and he has built up a reputation for absolute integrity. His acquaintances are wide-spread.

Address: LuckyDroodle, Box 67A, C r* GA RET T ES He may know, and probably does know, an able detective sergeant, a couple of prominent business men, a flamboyant ward boss, a shy but brilliant professor of physics, a railroad executive, a wise and well-loved minister, an old-time civil servant in the city hall who can remember everything that happened there during the past forty years, a leading banker, a judge and a notable doctor. He has acquired their trust and their respect and hence they will talk freely with him. He is gifted with "a sense of smell" as to what is phony and dubious. Perhaps he never could be an outstanding Washington or foreign cor- respondent. Perhaps he much prefers his own line of work. Competent performance of a local reporter's job is not easy, but it may be attended by great satisfaction and a world of romance. If you are primarily interested in security and starting with big pay (and such interests are common and very natural), newspaper work as a career does not hold much of an appeal. If you like to work hard, to be something of an artist, to laugh and dream a little, and never to know what is going to happen next, then newspaper work as a career probably offers more than anything else.
