Plans are changed this year »o be sure to read the front page department's report of planned activities. Parade and pep meeting will be staged on Thursday. Game will be Friday. The Warriors are having one heck of a time trying to break into the win column this year. Maybe a homecoming crowd will prove the inspiration needed to get over the hump.

U. S. army and navy authorities, advised by underground experts, have been making extensive study of the many caves that underlie most of the 48 states. To recent suggestions, however, that these and other cavities of the world might offer easy protection against atomic or bacteriological warfare the answers are pessimistic. One army map service spokesman declares that moat natural caves surveyed in the last eight years are suitable onty for storage because of remoteness, dampness i and hazardous formations. Whatever their future value, caves and mines had a role in World War II. From the Far East to western Europe, men used them for personal and industrial shelter, as well as for essential storage space. j China's wartime' capital, Chung- | king, was noted for its vast system j of new and old tunnels in which the j Drum in the band, a dandy drummer.)

Leonard Joeris, aquatic biologist, and Robert Prather, assist* ant chemist, have devised a machine for projecting microscopic objects on a screen ao that features are plainly discernible to even the layman's eye. The machine is called a microprojector and will see much service by the division in the future. The microprojector has three principal uses. 1--It projects microscopic and macroscopic objects on a screen so that they may be more clearly observed. 2--It is used in counting and identifying plankton from steam and lake water (much of which is fish food). 3--It is used to discover the age and rate of growth of fishes from various bodies of water. This is accompanied by projecting a scale from the fish on the screen. Total cost of the machine was approximately $15.
