In Many Army Rejections
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (ACP)
Inadequate sight-testing meth
ods are responsible for a larm
iiuiuuci v4. 1 rjtt nui lis 1U1 SflVlCe
in the navy and army, states Dr.
Robert D. Loken, psychologist at
ine university 01 L-aiuornia.
"Much of the present 15 per- :
cent total loss of the navy and I
the 12 percent loss of the army
through rejections could be ob
viated by junking the defective
Stilling and Ishihara tests for '
color blindness. The German and
Japanese charts have been re
sponsible for letting in many men
01 aeieciive vision ana Darrmg as
many more who should be in
ducted into the nation's service.
Overlooks Many. ,
"The Ishihara test, for example.
detects small defects in color "
vision and totally overlooks many
serious ones."
-Dr. Loken has been engaged in
experiments with vitamin A to
relieve color blindness, in associa
tion with Dr. Knight Dunlap, pro-
fessor of psychology. He states
experiments show that beneficial
results accrue in more than 80
percent of the cases.
Retain Improvement.
"Those who improve rapidly as
a rule retair their improvement."'
says Dr. Loken. "The slow ones ,
are not so apt to hold their gain.
These apparently have some defi
nite lack of vitamin efficiency."
Approximately 100 cases have
been followed by Dr. Loken. He
believes examiners of the army
and navy still consider color vision
a constant factor.

We just slipped (we do mean
slipped) in from a class that
wasn't. We've heard of bicycles
knocking down pedestrians but
yesterday morning was the first
time we've ever seen a couple of
girls knock a bicycle and its rider
down the street for at least 200
yards.
Shirley Hopkins. AOPi of last
year, called the whole thing off
with Sig Chi Kenny Miller a few
weeks back. She sent back pin
and ring and now is wearing the
Beta pin of Joe Sonjjcland who
