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.
