MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, January T, 1959 6 r. V 7 Xili&&k 4?J Vi-A f ; - ESQ REE PARKING LOTS IN BACK OF OUR STORE CLIP JOB Lucius A. Wilson, 43-year-old barber, com forts Mrs. Georgia Belle Bowman, 38-year-old Indiana polis widow, in Houston, Tex., after her ex-boyfriend forced them to cup hair off their heads at gun point. The ex-boyfriend, Donald Parker of Indianapolis, who traced the pair to, Houston, was charged with threat ening their lives and carrying a gun. Antarctic Region Rich With Algae, Mosses, Lichens Washington Antarctica, "a continent better known as a depository of ice and snow than for its plant life," is rich with algae, mosses and lich ens. Botanical studies conducted by U. S. scientists during the International Geophysical Year, which closes Dec. 31, have increased our under standing of the kinds of plants found in Antartica, Dr. G. A. Llano told scientists at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meet ing here today. While it is still early to draw inferences from the information collecte ed, some general conclusions can be made. Cold Not Major Inhibitor For example, Dr. Llano said, cold is not the major in hibitor to plant life and growth tn the area. Vegetation is dependent on a combina tion of moisture and isolation a weathering process in which extreme daily temper ature changes result in the cracking of rock surfaces. Ap- University Invites Seniors to Campus Eugene-Private living or ganizations at the University of Oregon are extending an invitation to any Oregon high school senior to visit the un iversity campus during two week ends in the coming year. The visitors may choose ei of two dates to visit: Jan. 23 to 25, or April 24 to 26. Housing will be provided in the university fraternity and sorority houses, or the men's and women's coopera tives. The coops are student operated houses which offer organized group living to the students on limited budgets, by careful economy and shar ing of household duties. Letters have been sent to many high school seniors ex plaining the visitation pro gram. Any students who are interested but who did not receive letters are invited to write and ask for a reserva tion. They should address let ters to: "IFC, Heads of Houses Students Coops Association; Room 303 Erb Memorial Stu dent Union; University of Oregon; Eugene, Ore." parently insolation is also re sponsible for building up a shallow layer of heat over the rocks . and earth which is "quite independent" of the surrounding temperature.. This means,Dr. Llano ex plained, that during the Ant arctic summer mosses, lichens and algae probably grow un der conditions "not too dis similar" from comparable places in temperate regions. Birds play an important role in the Antarctic plant life. Some may bring in new plant colonies to exposed land by carrying such things as spores on their bodies. Also the birds and their guano a nitrogenous waste product "are an important accelerating factor in polar plant devel opment. Most Widespread Of the three plant groups, algae, mosses and lichens, the land and fresh-water algae are probably the most widespread, Dr. Llano said. Lichens are next, their presence predicted for all exposed land masses even deep into the continent. Mosses are more restricted in distribution and are found along the coasts. Specimens were collected from virgin areas of West Ant artica, said Dr. Llano, who is secretary of the National Academy of Sciences' panel on biological and medical sci ences for the Committee on Polar Research. Studies of one area, Vincennes Bay, suggest that it has been exposed for a long period of time because of the variety and extent of the plant life. In other places, unexpected absences of lich ens and mosses will be the subject of further studies. (Kffi(D(CLETrEffiHA n LJJl vZ uivJ Open 7 Days a Week f Until p.m. Sixth & Grape sts.
