Although some what non plused by this evidence of scholastic effort, the checker still insisted that formalities be observed, even in his case. The student, probably thinking of the trouble he wanted to avoid, decided to give it one last try. "I have an 8.2 average, does that make any difference?" It did.

The electron miscro- scope enlarges small objects (in visible even under ordinary mi croscopes) 150,000 to 200,000 times their normal size. The Chancellor said the elec tron miscroscope will assist great ly the work of the University's newly-organized Institute of Cell Growth which will study normal and cancerous cells. The instru ment will enable University sci entists to "look inside" cells and bacteria. It will help identify vi ruses. Many departments of the Uni versity will have immediate use for the electron micrscope for teaching and research, Dr. Gustavson said, including Me chanical Engineering, for study of metals; Agronomy, for tudy of soil, and of pollen and seed irradiated with atomic encrgy: I'edodontics, for study of effect of flourlne; Chemistry and Bac teriology for study , of bacteria which live at high temperatures usually fatal to most bacteria: Animal Tathology, for study of diseased tissues of animals; ani Plant Pathology for study of vi rus diseases of wheat. Other instruments which the University hopes gifts to the Foundation will provide the lab oratory ars: an infrared spectro photometer which costs about $13,000; a Tiselius apparatus which costs about $5,000: and dif fraction x-ray equipment which costs about $20,00".
