New highways are being built
throughout Michigan and the na-
tion, aided by research being car-
ried on at the University.
In the basement of the East
Engineering Building, research
workers are studying the durability
of various types of highway con-
crete as a part of a long range
program established 35 years ago
by the University and the State
Highway Department.
The subject of the present re-
search is the gravel which is mixed
in concrete, and the effect of the
gravel on the quality of the con-
crete pavement.
Pits and Cracks
Prof. F. E. Legg, in charge of
the program, explained that con-
crete often becomes pitted and
cracks because of freezing and
thawing of the pavement.
To determine which types of
gravel are best for durable con-
crete, research workers make rec-
tangular blocks of °concrete, then
subject these blocks to tests in a
"torture chamber."
This torture chamber is a room
kept at zero degrees Fahrenheit,,
and the blocks are frozen in frigid
air for three hours, then thawed
under water for one hour.
Freezing and Thawing
These freezing and thawing in-
tervals are kept up all year long,
according to Prof. Legg, and some

Here for a three-day session on
the teaching of journalism at the
University, members of the Michi-
gan Press Association Journalism
Education Committee were told of
a steady journalistic enrollment
Increase at the University for
three straight years.
Michigan Increase
Of the 38 accredited journalism
schools reporting this fall's regis-
tration, 15 of them reported de-
creases, whereas Michigan has an
increase of 36 per cent.
Committee expressed apprecia-
tion of the press of Michigan for
the excellent support the Univer-
sity is giving journalism on the
campus.
The committee also congratu-
lated Professor Wesley H. Maurer,
chairman of the Department of
Journalism, and his staff for origi-
nal approaches to journalism edu-
cation.
Unanimous Support
Department plans for extending
the program into the community
newspaper field were given unani-
mous support.
Committeemen also asked con-
tinued support of plans to expand
offerings in pictorial journalism,
in advertising and to the depart-
ment's internship program.

ROAD RESEARCH-The Highway Laboratory's "Torture Cham-
ber" tests the durability of concrete pavement by a series of
freezing and thawing periods.

concrete blocks last for several
months.
"This is a hard test for any,
construction material to with-
stand," Prof. Legg added.
The research also uses an elec-
tronic machine which vibrates the
concrete samples, records the
sound waves transmitted, and in
this way determines how well the
samples are holding up through
the tests.

Research workers on the project
include full time Highway Depart-
ment employees and part-time
students.
Prof. Legg summarized the re-
search as aiming to "provide bet-
ter highways through improved
technology of road-building," and,
he commented, "to insure that
the taxpayers' dollars are well
spent."

EAT, DRINK, AND BE MARRIED
On a recent tour of seven million American colleges,
I was struck by two outstanding facts: first, the great
number of students who smoke Philip Morris; and second,
the great number of students who are married.
The first phenomenon - the vast multitude of Philip
Morris smokers - comes as no surprise, for what could
be more intelligent than to smoke Philip Morris? After
all, pleasure is what you smoke for, and pleasure is what
Philip Morris delivers. Try one. Light up and see for
yourself.... Or, if you like, don't light up. Just take
a Philip Morris, unlighted, and puff a couple of times.
Get that wonderful flavor? You bet you do! Even with-
out lighting you can taste Philip Morris's fine natural
tobacco. Also, you can make your package of Philip
Morris last practically forever.
No, I say, it was not the great number of Philip
Morris smokers that astounded me ; it was the great
number of married students. Latest statistics show that
at some coeducational colleges, the proportion of married
undergraduates runs as high as twenty per cent ! And,
what is even more startling, fully one-quarter of these
marriages have been blessed with issue!
Now, to the young campus couple who are parents
for the first time, the baby is likely to be a source of con-
siderable worry. Therefore, let me devote today's column
to a few helpful hints on the care of babies.
First of all, we will take up the matter of diet. In
the past, babies were raised largely on table scraps. This,
however, was outlawed by the Smoot-Hawley Act, and
today babies are fed a scientific formula consisting of
dextrose, maltose, distilled water, evaporated milk, and
a twist of lemon peel.
After eating, the baby tends to grow sleepy. A lullaby
is very useful to help it fall asleep. In case you don't
know any lullabies, make one up. For example:
Go to sleep, my little infant,
Goo-goo moo-moo poo-poo bin! ant.
A baby sleeps best on its stomach, so place it that way
in its crib. Then to make sure it will not turn itself over
during the night, lay a soft but fairly heavy object on its
back - another baby, for instance.
So, as you see, raising a baby is no great problem.
All you need is a little patience and a lot of love. 4lso
