Legal Home of College Student Is Puzzling Question for Authorities Which is a student's legal resi dence his home town or his college community, a question recently rais ed in Brown county concerning a University of Nebraska student, is a legal puzzle that perennially per plexes public officials and Univer sity authorities. Does a student by shaking the dust of thi old home town off his coat tail, and renting a room in Lincoln becomes a legal resident here, or does he remain a citizen back home? Various court decisions have been handed down on either side. It seems to depend on the particular facts.

North Star Only Temporary Guide As Earth Whirls Through Space Four thousand years ago people may have pointed out Alpha Dra conis as the star over their pole, as the star to guide them in their jour neys. Now the star Polarius is the guiding star, the North Star. But in the course of time the North Star of today will go out of date. Prof. J. D. Swezey, of the depart ment of astronomy, predicts that at least six different stars will be used in the next 6,000 years as a guide. Just as a top after some spinning looses its balance and starts to wob i ble in its path, the earth varies in iv irotation cycles as it loses its speed. ) However, there is very little hurry, 1926.

On the opposite side of the star map, where we will be in approximately 12,000 years, is Vega, a star far brighter than Polarius and as the earth is traveling this distance it will ap proach other bright stars which may be used as guiding stars in turn. In the pyramids of Egypt, says Professor Sweezey, are tunnels which point directly to the point in the heavens where the star Alpha Draconis was four thousand years ago.

What Makes Pop Corn 'PopV-Even Scientists Cannot Tell for Sure The "pop" in pop corn is still a mystery after scientists in the Un ited States department of agricul ture have studied the phenomenon for some time, a recent communica tion from the federal department to the College of Agriculture of the Ohio State University says: "Formerly popping was supposed to be caused by the expansion of oQ in the kernel on being heated," the report explains. Now it is believed to be due to the expansion of the moisture con tained in each of the many starch cells within the kernel. Another theory is that there may be air with in the seed which expands that causes the explosion. Old corn sometimes will not pop because it is too dry. The popping quality may be restored by sprink ling the corn with water. ALDHNDS IS CANDIDATE T. R. Nelson, '08, to Ran For At torney General of South Dakota T. R. Nelson, '08, of Dupree, S.
