Working, playing, browsing, eating and studying with each other. The campus truly is a home and it offers to all of us many oppor- tunities which we need only take advantage of. XVhether it he letting off steam at a campus activity or catching forty winks while studying at the library, these things indicate a way of life-our way. It started New Student NVeek. with a spirit-a new kind of spirit-made possible by the newness of so many new students. Even in the seemingly static registration lines. motion though nervous, was apparent, and in the Student Union. a spirit. an ac- tive spirit, prevailed. The buzz of activity between classes, from one building to the next, and from one end of campus to the other, in ten minutes. were integral parts of all of us and of our way of campus living.

or somethin new Research projects at Southern have literally been sprouting up all over campus. In the basement of Park- inson, Dr. Young is directing Cosmic Ray research. Crants to support the project are mainly from the Office of Ordnance Research of the U. S. Army. Good resultsv are being obtained in their work with heavy primary cosmic rays. Design and manufacture of the Southern Acres Hog Feeder was directed by Dr. joseph Bernside. Research is being conducted at the Wood Products Pilot Plant, Carbondale Forest Research Center, by Milton Shute, agricultural engineer of SIU, and by Dave Herrick and James Mickelwright, forest technologists, U. S. branch of Forest Research. H Drs. Shechmeister, Ogur and Lindegren are injecting yeast into rabbits to obtain serum from the blood to be used to distinguish between kinds of yeasts and be- tween complex chemical substances which cannot be tested chemically. Dr. Harvey I. Fisher, SIU Zoology Department Chair- man, has been working on the Footedness in Domestic Pigeons. He is using an apparatus to determine which foot is of primary use in landing. Drs. Atkinson, Anderson, Malpass, Coldiamond and Hoshiko have been doing work on a grant from the Oflice of Education, in the Perception Laboratory. They are pictured with a machine which automatically re- wards the subject when he makes the desired response. They work mainly with retarded children, the difficulty being that retarded children do not respond readily. t r f li s 1 1 's Dr. Harvey I.
