Cal Tech Undertakes Plant Study Opportunities for young scien tists were offered by Dr. Frits W. Went, Dutch plant physiologist, in a talk Thursday night in Chap man hall. The head of the California Insti tute of Technology department of plant physiology spoke of expand ed program being undertaken at Pasadena to determine the impor tance of climate factors to plant growth. Six greenhouses, air-conditioned, are being constructed at Cal Tech in which it will be possible to main tain any climate. Different degrees of temperature, fog and rain can be artificially reproduced, and even wind velocity can be con trolled. Dr. Went who has been particu larly interested in the efffect of night temperature on the matura tion of the tomato feels that it will be a great asset to both farmers and scientists to determine the ef fect of these factors on plant ; growth. Sugar, niacin, vitamin Bl, and sunlight are important to plant growth, he said, explaining how their removal or absence can re tard or stimulate plant growth. Dr. Went outlined and explained a series of experimental work in this field which he has been conduct ing at Cal Tech during the past few years. The talk was sponsored jointly by the University Lecture Series committee and Sigma Xi, science honorary. The next presentation will be on December 2 when Dr. Quirinus Breen, professor of his tory, will discuss “the Quan-cl Be tween Rhetoric and Philosophy.’’ Rose Bowl Chance Hangs onOutcome By Stan Turnbull If we do we might not, but if we don't we won’t.

They would wait behind some parked cars until the visitors came by again, and then douse the inter lopers with many buckets of cold water. Diabolical, but simple. All in all a dandy plan. A few minutes later a dozen were left sitting on the front porch, as bait. Now among these warriors was a gentleman named George. George was very big and very strong . . . and apparently, very near sighted. George was willing and eager and childishly pleased at this great op portunity to do his bit.
