Benjamin Handler has an- nounced. "We want to help school board members and administrators ob- tain maximum educational bene- fits at the least cost. There is little, if any, information avail- able to them on the useful lives of school buildings, the changes to be expected through the, years, and the ages at which a building should be repaired or abandoned. Our objective is to provide this in- formation," he said. To find out how the average school building deteriorates, the researchers charted the defects in a large sample of "unsatisfact- ory" schools in Michigan, then cor- related these defects with age. During the first two decade or so, it is noted, only relatively minor defects and inadequacies show up. The third decade is one of two critical periods, however, for the number of defects becomes mark- ed, much equipment needs to be replaced, and a general renovation is sometimes in order. University aeronautical engi- neers have begun the ticklish job of analyzing the contents of bot- tles of thin air gathered at the edge of the earth's atmosphere by high altitude rockets, Elton A. Wenzel, Engineering Research In- stitute associate announced re- cently. The bottles are from two Areo- bee rockets that were fired to an altitude of 50 miles at White Sands, N. Mex. this summer. At the peak of each flight, three bot- ties in each rocket were opened for five seconds to suck in eight quarts of air. Then they were automati- cally sealed and lowered to the earth by parachute. Show Distribution of Gases Engineering Research Institute workers, contracted by the Army Signal Corps to equip the rockets and analyze the samples obtained, hope to show through these flights how the gases which make up the earth's atmosphere are distribut- ed at various heights. For a week to two weeks before each flight the bottles were baked at 340 degrees F. while virtually all the air inside was drawn out, Wenzel said. These high vacuums werethen checked with a precise instrument called a mass spectro- meter. Rockets Vented Steps were then taken to ventf the rockets during flight and to break off the propulsion units from the instrument sections just prior to sampling. Mobil SOCONY MOBIL OIL COMPANY, INC.

OP)-Dust off that overcoat-in fact, maybe you better get a spare or two-the woolly bears indicate we're in for one of the most severe winters in recent history. The woolly bears, for the bene- fit of the uninitiated, are furry caterpillars that abound in many parts of the United States about this time of every year. As the legend would have it- the coldr of the little caterpillars' coat is a sign of the sort of winter weather that can be expected. The woolly bear's fur covering normally is in. three segments, sometimes all three the same color Prof. Thonssen To Speak Here Lester Thonssen, president of the Speech Association of Ameri- ca and professor at the College of the City of New York, will address a University Speech Assembly Wednesday at 4 p.m. in Rackham Lecture Hall the speech depart- ment has announced. Professor Thonssen's talk will be on "Thoughts on a Great Am- erican Institution." A native of Iowa, Professor Thonssen received an A.B. degree from Huron College and A.M. and Ph.D. degrees from the State University of Iowa. Be- sides serving on the faculty of the College of the City of New York for the last 25 years, Dr. Thons- sen has also been a visiting pro- fessor during summer sessions at Montana State University, Uni- versity of Southern California, Columbia University, and others. er Ahead -either brown or black-and sometimes three different shades of one or both of these hues. Each segment represents-to the weather prophets-a third of the coming winter season. The darker the color of each segment of the caterpillar's coat, the colder and nastier the weather will be in the corresponding period of winter.- This fall, the woolly bears are all one color from stem to stern- and the color in this case is coal black. Herb Krone, a reporter for the Lancaster New Era and weather devotee, makes it his annual busi- ness to check on the color of the woolly bears. "I never saw them so black," said Krorfe. And he adds that isn't the worst by any means. Darker portions of two segments indicate there will be intense storms in the middle or latter part of January and February. The ex- pected sub-freezing temperatures in between these, moreover, will keep whatever snow shows up on the ground for long periods. In short, it should be a good year for sleds, snow shoes and skis. 'AWARA' Film To Be Shown "AWARA" (Vagabond) a movie filmed in India and which won an award at the Cannes International Film Festival will be shown on Thursday and Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Rackham Amphitheatre Sulaiman Kakli, president of the Pakistan Students Association and the International Students Associ- ation has announced.
