5 Students Receive Home Ec Training

By WILLIAM LEWIS

'"It takes a heap o' liviD'. to. make a house a home," says a famous poet, and the women living in the GSC Home Management House couldn't agree more. During the semester break we toured the bouse, a part of the home econ­omics department, and discovered that behind the doors of the two­story white frame house there is more than just any average home. Planning and follow-through are the by-words of the women who live in the house.

Students live there for a term . This is done as a class, for credit and grades. Tests come as typical home situations arise ; assignments are given by the instructor, Miss Woofter: and homework is done nowhere else but right there in the home.

Planning menus. cleaning, keep­ing the kitchen spotless, prepara­tion of meals. all these and many other duties fall upon the women who rotate in various positions throughout the household.

The bouse, located beside the Women's Hall Parking lot, is a spacious. well-kept home deserv· ing of praise and r ecognition. Hanging in the living room is a painting by Mr. J-ames Rogers of the GSC Art Department. A .piano, silver service, and many other in·

BECKET (GARY FARNS· WORTH) appears as an arch­bishop in a gold floor-length cope with white stole and mitre of gold to match the cope. In more frivo­lous days, he wears a white cre·pe tunic with high neck. His forest wear is a blending dark green tunic and brown surcoat and fi. nally, he arppears as a pr iest in black and white benedictine robe. ~ng Louis (Larry Hall} regally wears a navy blue tunic and dark green cape, while the old arch­bi-shop dresses similarly to Becket except for a red cape.

At Journal's Request Dr Max Ward, professor of bot·

any here at GSC, is one ol about 40 botanists from around the world who were invited to contribute .an ar ticle to a special memorial is­sue of the international botanical journal. Phytomorphology. T h e memor ial issue of the jour nal which is published at the Univer­sity of India at Delhi. India, and has a world-wide circulation will be published during the coming summer.

Phytomorphology' s memorial is­sue will be published in honor of !Professor P. M-ahesbwari. founder of the journal and for seveNl years its editor. Professor Mahesh· wari, who was head of the depart· ment of botany at Delhi and the author of many scientific papers and books, died last summer.

Entitled " Propagation of Aber· rant Gametophytes From Aggre­gates and From Single Cells of Moss Callus/' Ward 's article deals with a specia l mutant, or changed, for m of a common moss that grows in the mountains. This small and completely different form of plant was developed in the laboratory while -grow·ing the native moss for experimental pur. poses. The article describes this aberrant form and tells how it

may be made to produce cancer­like tissue which can be seParated into individual cells, which in turn can be made to remain cancer­like or to produce a complete ab­errant plant like its parent.

Ward' s invitation to submit an article for this special publication is quite an honor. but it is not the first such paper he has had pub· Ushed. As a matter of fac t this is the fourth of ltis articles to be printed in Phytomorphology. In addition, be has bad sL<>< other articles on experimental botany printed in various scientific pub· Jications.

Work and experimentation which led to the discovery of the mutant form of moss and to the writing of the article has bHn done in tto.e laboratories at GSC Ward was aided for three years · by Sue Ellen Frederick, who graduated with a B. S. degree last spring and wtto is now a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin. Miss Frederick will appear as co-author of the article.
