HOUSE of MYSTERY WHERE THE STEREORAMIC PHOTO ORIGINATED North of Gold Hill AT Open Throughout The Year ANY SNAPSHOT TAKEN WITHIN THE VORTEX WILL PRODUCE A 3D PICTURE. TEST IT! Spring Hours -8 to 6 Under Founder's Management Since 1930 narman .Nicnols' Washington (U.R) Science has done what the home build ers have never done, and never will. It has come up with a S40 housing development. The project is in operation at George Washin gton University and i s populated by a large fam ily of Formi cidae, order of Hymenoptera. That's the professor's name for the common ant. The professor is Dr. Willard Caldwell, an associate in psy chology at the school. He is deep in a study to try and find out how smart an ant is. The houses where the ants live in the community add up to a maze. One group lives in a dark house, the other with sun light pouring in through plastic "windows." In between the two families is a black line, under which is an ultra-violet light. Are They Smart Idea is to see whether an ant living in darkness can find the light quicker than the one living with a light in its eye. 'We haven't gone too far, yet," Dr. Caldwell said, "and we don't know what we will discover. But it could add to our knowledge of the behavior of lower forms of life. Ants will gather around a stepped on cream puff. But are some ants smarter than others?" Another question the experi ment may answer is whether ants really need light to get around. After all, most self respecting ants live down under. Dr. Caldwell has tried similar experiments with the lowly earthworm and found that al though some of them are awful dumb, some are pretty sharp. "Take Elmer, there," said the professor, pointing to a well fed worm asleep under a few blades of grass in the worm housing de velopment at the other end of the experiment table. "Elmer can't see, but some how, when light was introduced he wiggled his way through his maze like a veteran wiggler." Jupiter, another worm, was all wound up in his little house and didn't seem to be getting any place. His "place" was full of light and he seemed a little con fused. Call Jupiter dumb if you like. Johnny wasn't having much luck either. "We even tried some choice morsels of garbage on Jupiter and Johnny," Dr. Caldwell said, "but they didn't fall for the bait. If they don't wake up pretty - - 've'll have to give up on them." u all sounds pretty baffling to a layman like me who looks upon ants and worms as some thing that shouldn't have hap pened in the first place, except for the worms to fertilize the good earth and serve as a come on for the much smarter fish. But the professor is deadly serious. "If we can figure out the rea soning powers of these lower critters," he said, "we will have a start and can work from there. You can't tell. We might learn that ants and worms have person alities, like people." What that would prove re mains to be seen. But it might be of great interest to another ant or another worm.

Friday, April 8. 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN Talent High School Newspaper Winner Of State Contest Talent The Talent Hi-Life has been judged best in its di vision by the Oregon Scholastic Press association for issues pub lished during the 1954-55 school year. Competition was confined to the editorial page and only the November, January and Febru ary papers were entered. Schools participating in the contest did not know until February which issues to send in for judging. Judging was based on physical appearance (makeup and typog raphy); scope and variety of con tent, and quality of content or the- actual writing. Three divisions were included in the contest, which replaces the usual improvement contest sponsored by the OSP. Talent was placed in the second division because of enrollment. Second place in this section was a tie between the Astor Post, Astoria, and the Lantern, Pendleton. Winner in the first section for printed papers was The Jeffer- sonian, Jefferson High school, Portland. Third division, dupli cated papers, saw the Ridge Hi Breeze from Oakridge High school, Oakridge, in first place. "The judges were impressed with the excellent quality of en tries throughout, but particularly in Division II," reported the OSP Bulletin.
