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.

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.
