The "they" are University den tistry students and their "works of art" range from carefully made dentures to ornamental gold fill ings.

His instruction varies from mak ing model false teeth to caring eventually for the oral health prob lems of children. Making faLse teeth is more than a routine lab a talent where details are all important. Teeth have to be placed exactly as they originally were colored as they originally were, and if the patient prefers, filled as they or iginally were.

The strange guests will be two onions, products of a botany ex periment being conducted by one of the laboratories. Four students in Wendell Gau ger's botany laboratory, have been provided with two onion bulbs, two glasses of water, covered with black cardboard and 12 small vials of formalin acetic acid. For 48 hours, Thursday and Fri day, the students must cut off the root tip of the onion bulb every four hours and fixate it in the acid. Maybe this doesn't seem too dif ficult, but considering that some of these four hours are bound to fall in the wee hours of the morn ing, three a.m. could be a rather unpleasant hour to be cutting onions.

HOW "WEASELS" REPLACE DOGS TO UNLOCK ANTARCTICA'S SECRETS ARE the mountains of Antarctica really XV higher than Everest? Will its melting ice eventually flood our cities? Do its frigid 200 mph winds create the world's weather? Do its gigantic coal deposits mean there's gold, oil, uranium too? For 1 37 years men couldn't stay in Antarctica long enough to find out. All they had were dogs and courage. Today, machines do the muscle work so teams of American scientists can stay the year around to unlock Antarctica's secrets. Jeep-like weasels use electronic "dish-pans" (ste illustration) to probe for crevasss that can swallow 20 -story buildings. Bulldozers carve roads across frozen seas so giant trac tors can haul in 60-ton supply loads. It's all the result of Better-nesi the Ameri can conviction that nothing's impossible. And the machines that give you Better-ness depend on Timken tapered roller bearings. They roll the load and they're tapered to take the crunching impact from all directions. You'll find Timken bearings virtually elimi nating friction, reducing' maintenance and keeping machines on the go wherever Amer ica's wheels and shafts turn. By pioneering new markets and uses, we've become the world's biggest manufacturer of tapered roller bearings and we're still growing fast. WANT TO HELP CREATE BETTER-ness?
