Wares Work
01 Ch\C Prof.
In the February 13 issue of
LIFE Magazine there appears an
article featuring Mr. Harold
Schlichting of the biology department on his work in discovering
poisonous algae carried on the
feet of ducks.
He caused many amused chuckles among his friends and the
U S. Fish and Wild Life Service
when he asked for a permit to
catch ducks and wash their feet.
It turned out to be not a laughing
matter, though, when his experiments led to the discovery that
the ducks can innoculate ponds
with algae, one variety of which
is poisonous and which may be
the cause of the death of hun-
fdreds of cattle at their water-
I holes in the Southwest.
Mr. Schlichting's discovery is
part of his research work for his
PhD.

A total of 982 students enrolled
for late afternoon and evening
classes this semester. One purpose of these • classes is to help
part time college students set up
a more convenient schedule.
However, only 35 of these students have enrolled. The late afternoon and evening classes are
here to stay according to Cleon C.
Richtmeyer, dean of faculty and
George N.  Lauer,  dean of	
ords.
rec-
Due to an increasing number of
students, and a shortage of classrooms, about 50 of these classes
are being taught here this semester. The classes are also being offered to eliminate filled sections
and schedule conflicts. These
classes have been designed to accommodate working students and
athletes. As the need arises, more
late afternoon and evening classes
will be offered.
IK Workshop
Here in I960
The twelve Interfraternity
Council members who attended
the first state workshop held at
the University of Michigan last
Sunday, brought back the assurance of such a meeting here in
1960.
Dr. Arnold Form, advisor of
the group, said that the workshop
was a great success both in promoting a better understanding
between Michigan's colleges and
as an instrument for the exchanging of ideas for improving the various separate chapters.
Central had the highest percentage in attendance of the seventeen colleges represented, and
Dr. Form stated that Central
ranked high scholastically.
Glen Nyron, dean of men at the
University, who was scheduled as
principal speaker was unable to
attend, and in his absence Walter
B. Rea delivered the address.

Information is available in the
Placement Office concerning summer employment at camps both in
