Plan for Weather Control
Announced by
Dr. Okismye U. Windbag of the
United States weather bureau
announced today a plan for com
plete control of the weather
through recent scientific devel
opments. Dry ice seeding com-
I bined with huge fans along the
Canadian border could hold back
the cool fall weather until, on a
certain day, arbitrarily, Nov. 1,
the fans could be reversed and
winter would begin with the
help of dry ice seeding and stra
tegically placed deep freeze
units.
This plan has been based on a
recent poll by Miss Mary Wanna
of the University. This poll re
vealed that 80 percent of the
American public did, in no way,
enjoy the coming of fall.
Theoretically, removing fall
from the list of seasons would
lighten the load of many people.
The time for fall housecleaning,
raking, and storm windows
would be thus eliminated. The
leaves, being quick-frozen while
on the trees would be kept fresh
until the spring thaws when they
would be as good as new. This
would save trees the job of
growing a new crop eech year.
No Autumn Leaves
Although the coloring of au
tumn would be lost, the flowers
of summer would remain until
the zero hour. They, like every
thing else would be encased in
ice.
The effect of going directly
from summer into winter would
not seem too great, according to
the facts given. But in question
ing Prof. Wanna, we discovered
that the 20 per cent who were
against the proposed plan were,
essentially, the college students
of the land. We therefore inter
viewed several persons connected
with the student body in an at
tempt to ascertain the reasons
for the opposition.
Sally Fourthe pointed out that
some hapless group might be
having their weekly picnic when
winter struck. Without the least
warning all would be encased in ;
ice for posterity at least until I
the spring thaws. ;
In talking to sportswriter Glug I
McBridegroom yesterday, we j
learned that the proposed change I
in weather would bring about j
a drastic change in football rules j
and tactics. Since winter would !
come on the first day of Novem- i
ber each year, it would split the j
football season. This would force
evolution of two very different j
games.
Terrific Heat
During the summer half of the
seaiion the heat would be too '
great for the wearing of stand
ard pads and equipment. There- ;
fore players would be outfitted j
in suite similar to those used in .
track. All backfield men and
ends would carry collapsible j
pogo-stioks as standard equip- !
ment in facilitating line play. To ,
compensate for this advantage, j
the field would be lengthened to ;
one quarter mile and would have !
shrubbery, sand traps and tar ,
pools to hamper backfield plays.
In the winter half, the game I
would be played on a frozen sur- j
face of similar size. The ends ,
would use dog sleds. Linemen ;
would be equipped with .22 cali
ber pistols for dispensing the
dog teams. Here McBridegroom
Science News
Need Outlined
Bv Swindler
Newspapers must keep the
puolic informed about science.
particularly in this atomic age,
Dr. William F. Swindler, di
rector of the School of Journal
ism told newspaper and radio
news editors Friday evening at
the University's clinic on atomic
energy.
He said that it was vital that
their readers and listeners un
derstand the technical and pub
lic policy questions which ha'e
arisen with modern scientific
developments.
Dr. Swindler pointed out that
few newspapers can afford to
hire men with specialized re
porting techniques needed for
science writing. To help this sit
uation, he suggested that papers
in this area cooperate in syndi
cated science features which can
be carefully checked for accur
acy. He also urged editlrs to
rely more heavily on fccienee
stories growing out of research
in state institutions.
Dr. Swindler said that news
papers have alienated scientists
in the past by sensationalism in
their science reporting and that
they still have to live this down.
Editors, he continued, must also
work to understand the scientific
frame ot mind, which, he said,
suspends judgment and avoids
drawing quick conclusions.

Dr. Windbag
added that shooting at players
would be illegal and that the
offending team would, get a 15
yard penalty for every opposing
player injured or killed.
Shells or Iceboats
Hugo Holm's opinion of the
proposed system was not too
favorable. According to him, the
naval fraternity Rho Damya Rho
would have to trade their racing
shells for iceboats.
Sororities and fraternities all
over the land would lose the joy
of bending their pledges to the
tasks of raking leaves and put
ting up storm windows.
Penn State could have easily
sabotaged the football team by
sprinkling dry ice on the clouds
a day before the game. The
Nittany Lions would have had
a great advantage in being pre
pared for winterball, while the
Huskers froze to death in their
summerball suits.
Hunters would die like flies
because a hunting season would
be impractical. As the scientific
winter closed down simultane
ously in all temperature areas,
migratory waterfowl would
freeze by the millions. The very
thought of game birds dying in
any manner but of gunpoint
would bring about the death of
hunters throughout the land.

Some time last summer a car
was cruising down a street in
Berlin, past ruins and recon
structed areas. The . passenger,
an American professor, leaned
forward and asked, "Say, where's
the Russiaaq sector?"
His German driver replied
calmly, "You are in it."
The professor continued his
trip and saw quite a bit of Berlin
without trouble from "the Ivans."
He heard many stories, but had
no unpleasant experiences him
self. The man was Gaylon J. Say
lor, professor of secondary edu
cation, Teachers college. He spent
the summer conducting an ex
amination of the German edu
cational system for state depart
ment's high commissioner of the
American ' zone.
Studies Education
Professor Saylor studied teach
er education, which is in Ger
many weighed down with cen
turies of tradition.. "The minis
tries of education have too much
control," he reports. "Progressive
attempts, initiative and imagina
tion are stifled."
German teachers are trained by
four years of college, after which
they must pass an examination
in philosophy and their fields of
study. For two years they prac
tice teach and continue study in
seminars under assaigned "men
tors." Then comes another ex
amination, and the teachers apply
for teaching permits. These are
issued by the ministry of educa
tion of the respective state gov
ernments, who also assign the
teachers to schools.
"There's a lack of broad un
derstanding of educational prob
lems," says Saylor. "There's too
much control the ministry has
to approve everything!"
There was ample opportunity
for tourist trips on weekends.
Professor Saylor visited ten
countries during the summer. Cli
max of his European trip was the
flight over the iron curtain to
Berlin.
While free to wander in the
western zones of the city, Saylor
also found that one could tour
the Russ sector. He visited Tier
garten, the Unter der Linden, a
Russian cemetery, and the Bran
denburger Tor.
"The Russians keep in the
background," he notes. Always
seen, however, are the scowling
German Communist People's po
lice. "The United States is support

THIS IS THE PLACE Prof. Gaylon Saylor points out Germany
on the map. He visited Germany last summer, making an exami
nation of the German educational system for the State depart
ment's High Commissioner of the American zone. He found that
the German system is weighted down with centuries of tradi
tional teachings. The ministries of education have too much
influence, Saylor found. Some of the larger cities arc making
progressive strides in teaching methods, he said.
'free university' in the western
zone," states Saylor. "But the
old University of Berlin is run
by the Russians."
Professor Saylor also noted
that the west Germans had re
named an attractively boulevard
"Clay Allee," honoring the Amer-
1 ican general. In reply, the east
Germans had to name a "Stalin
Strasse." "Stalin street" is a
road between piles of rubble.
Some hope for progress in Ger
man education is seen in the
larger cities, he said. Berlin and
Bremen are attempting to make
secondary education free in Ger
man youth. The rule of the coun
try has always been that educa
tion was only for the well-uu-do,
since tuitions had to be paid by
high-school students, Saylor ob
served. Saylor said that German women
labor on the farms. The men,
who are scarce, attempt to find
work in villages, he continued.
Loss of manpower in the war was
very apparent, Saylor reported,
and many American college stu
dents on tours were seen. Eu
ropeans were duly shocked by
jeans-clad coeds, he added.
"German universities should
provide leadership in education
and research," concludes Saylor.
