Blue of Lincoln; Frank Cra bill of Red Cloud; Thompson Stout of Lewellyn; and Gordon Graham, Lincoln. Each summer a group of men set out on similar expeditions for the university museum. Usually they are students in geology or men on the museum staff. They dig specimens to be set up and mounted during the winter months and seek out new sites for digging in other years. This year the workers will spend most of their time around the towns of Bridgeport and Crawford. After digging the fossil remains, they will pack them and ship them back to the museum. In the work rooms the bones will be made ready to be exhibited as part of the collections in Morrill hall. REGISlBlARS MARK OF LAST YEAR Officials Expect Enrollment Totals to Surpass Past Years.

Thesis Tells How Reversible Designs May Indicate Traits of Personality Geometric designs and revers ible figures may be another meth od of judging social introversion and extroversion in people. Psy chologists may have a key to a personality trait by finding how many times these trick figures re verse themselves right before the eyes. Everyone his looked at draw ings of cubai which seem to change sides while he looks at them, but Miss Louise Hoff edits of the University of Nebraska has been studying this strange phe nomenon for her doctor's degree tresis in psychology. She has usd and devised some interesting figures to make her tests, and has found out wue Interesting things about people. "I found that those who are ao rtal introverts are liable to see the figures change perspective at a faster rate than those who like to mix in society. Miss Hoffeditz ex plained. "It is not exact relation, but shows a distinct tendency." Among the changing patterns used for the experiments was a drawing which resembled a rab bit's head with the cars extending backward. An 'observer would soon see the figure reverse itself to make a duck's head, and the ears of the rabbit became the bill of tue duck. Another figure Miss Hoffeditz used was the drawing of a black goblet which changed to become the border for two faces, and re versed back and forth as a person watched. Many geometrical draw ings were included, such as cubes and box-like affairs. Some of them had a side of solid black which changed from side to side as it was watched. Miss Hoffeditz investigated 15 of these objects of reversible perspec tive. She describes the changing figures as "these in which spatial relations appear now to form one pattern, and again to form another pattern, while the physical stimu lus remains constant. She observed the reactions of 24 different people to her test draw ings. Each looked at the figures under controlled conditions and re ported changes. These were re corded as to bow often and how long each phase of pattern was present to the eyes. Studying all the figures she found the lowest number of changes for any per son to be 3 a minute, while one subject saw 178 changes a minute with an ordinary cube. This per son saw the cube change so rapidly that at times It appeared to whirl. These rates of fluctuation Miss Hoffeditz found to be fairly con ( Continued on Page 4). COL. OURY TO RETAIN R. 0. T.
