International New York-flJPD-A sea-going university with most of the educational advantages of land-based colleges and all of the pleasures of an ocean cruise will sail from New York this fall on its maiden voyage around the world. The coed school is called the' University of the Seven Seas. Its campus is the pas senger liner "Seven Seas," a trim 482-foot vessel owned by the Holland-America line. Backers of the university are hoping for an enrollment of 500 students when the "Seven Seas" steams out of New York harbor Oct. 22 on a 110-day voyage that will In clude stops at 23 ports. The idea of a university at sea was first proposed in 1959 by the Rotary Club of Whittier. Calif. In March 1961, the University of the Seven Seas became a legal entitity. The non-profit or ganization Is authorized by the California State Depart- ment of Education to grant degrees and issue transcripts. The executive director is Dr. E. Ray Nichols Jr., former chairman of the department of speech and drama at Whit tier, Calif., college. Some facts and figures about the new university: Tuition: A basic fee of $400 per student each semester, plus passage costs ranging from $1,590 for dormitory space on "C" deck to $1,990 Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- TT7TLEY BUCHANAN recalls an old fable that Spanish VV statesman Salvador do Madaragia told every time he heard Soviet propagandists proposing World disarmament without full Inspection. The table concerned a disarmament conference attended by all the ani mals. Each animal en thusiastically endorsed the abolition of weapon . he didn't happen to pos sess. The elephant pro posed the abolution of talons. The eagle was equally enthusiastic over the notion of abolishing ' tusks. The lion wanted horns outlawed; the tiger poisoned quills. And so it went until the bear demanded the floor. "Let's abolish EVERYTHING," declared the bear heartily, "that is, every thing except the great universal embrace!" Dame Edith Slcwell thinks that the average English woman needs sprucing up. "Too often," Dame Sltwell complains, "she dresses as if she remembers being a, mouse in a former Incarna tion or expects to one in the nextl" , Near O'Hare Airport in Chicago there's a tavern with one of those shrunken heads behind the bar.

The Dial-A-Dietitian pro gram is opera tea Dy volun teers from local chapters of rh AmArlfnn niptfttir nsKrif-i. ation, with financial aid from The Nutrition Foundation, in corporated. ' Tn n raronf nrnprHi rpnnri TNF board chairman Daniel F. Gerber said 13 more cities or areas may adopt the plan.

It usee local telephone hum. bers at which professional riiftiiian. answer non-meaicai questions about nutrition. Ger ber said that subjects range from food values and substi tutions to food preparation and huvins. fads, fallacies. and dietary problems. " About one Question in five concerns fads or fallacies, he added. Callers seeking med Irnl Information are alwavs referred to their personal physicians. Here, irom me ADA. are same tvolcal Ques tions and answers. Q Do crash diets really work?. A Nnt for most neode. and they can be harmful. The Important thing is that they usually don t change tne diet ers' eating habits. Q Are "heann looas- Dei ter than ordinary foods? A "Health foods" are fad foods they are expensive and not nutrlonally superior. Vnn ran art all the nutrients you need from a balanced diet n' fnnrfe avlalable at super markets and other ordinary food stores. O Is a low cholesterol diet advisable? A That's for. your person al physician to say. It should not be undertaken without medical advice and supervi sion, because self-medication may create diet deficiences and harm normally healthy persons. Q Will saifiower on neip me lose weight? A Nn. Adeline? calories from saifiower oil to your regular diet may In fact help you gain weight. To lose, you mmi nlther snend more cal ories through exercise than you eat, or diet by eating few er calories than you spend. Q What Is hydrolized vegetable protein? (It is often listed among ingredients on packaged, processed foods.) A It's a seasoning similar tn nv sauce, used In such small amounts that It adds little or nothing to the pro tein content of the product. Q Will massages help me lose weight? A Scientific studies have shown that massages will not reduce local deposits of fat or cause any changes in the rate that food is used by the body. Probably the best mas sage is a pat on the back for a dieter, on a nutrlonally safe weight reduction program, who also is moderately in creasing his exercise.' Q Will vitamins prevent colds? A We don't know of any evidence that proves that you can become "super-resistant" to colds by taking large amounts of any nutrient. Most vitamins above and beyound your body's needs are either wasted or, in the case of vitamins A and D, may be toxic in large amounts. Q Are most of the food values in fruits and vegeta bles concentrated just under the skin, so that you throw away most food values when you peel these products? A The amounts of nu trients lost by peeling fruits and vegetables are so small that peeling should cause no concern. 1 Q Will children miss im portant nutrients if they're fed powdered skim milk in stead of homogenized milk? A Only fat, if the skim milk you serve has vitamins A and D added, and is re liquified as the package label directs. Q Is 11 all right to use mineral oil in salad dressing if youre dieting to lose weight? I've heard it doesn't give you any calories. ' A Mlnerial oil is not a food. Chemically, it is differ ent from food oils, and it seriously affects the body's use of vitamins. A, D, E, K and carotene (provitamin A) dissolve In mineral oil and are not absorbed, so we def initely advise against its use with food. Anyone who uses it as a laxative should take it long after eating to minimize this effect. Q Will the material of which a pot is made help pre serve the nutrient value of vegetables cooked In it? A Nutrient values are af fected by cooking procedures, not the pot. The only excep tions are antique unllned copper pots in which food actually touches the copper, Modern copper pots are safe because the copper is on the bottom only, where it cannot touch the food. To preserve maximum food values, vege- tables should be cooked in as large pieces, for as short a time and in as little liquid as possible. Sheepmen herding their bands up to summer grazing in mountain pastures find the sheep settle down more quickly at night and are more contented if they are "salted" first. agreed to accept credits earn. ed aboard ship, "We hope to reach credit agreements with several other schools before tailing time, Nichols said. The maiden voyage, Nich ols said, will Include stops at Lisbon, Barcelona, Cannes, Rome, Naples, Beirut, Alexan dra, Port Said, Suez, Bombay Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Yokohama and Hono lulu. The ship is scheduled to dock at San Diego, Calif., on Feb. B, 1964 the end of the first semester, Tiie spring semester will begin Feb. 11 when the Seven Seas leaves for a 120-day voyage with stops at Honol lulu, Yokohoma, Hong Kong, Manila. Singapore, Rangoon, Madras, Colombo, Capetown, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Cartagena, Kingston and fin ally to New York on June 9. Taken on Field Trips At each stop, Nichols said, students will be taken on field trips to acquaint them with the people and problems of foreign lands. "Each student," he said, "will thus be an in formal ambassador of his home country." About 40 days will be spent in port during each semester. Nichols added that the field trips will include meeting and discussions "with important political figures and promient individuals." He said one such meeting has already been set up with President Sukarno of Indonesia. At sea, classes will be held every day in the morning and afternoon except Sunday. Re ligious services -on Sundays will be conducted by chap lains of the Protestant, Cath olic and Jewish faiths. As for recreation, the ship has a swimming pool, volley ball and badminton courts, shuffleboard areas and arch c.y targets. "The recreational aspects of the ship will not be over emphasized," Nichols said. But they will not be ignored." Nichols does not expect dis cipline to be a serious prob lem. "We are choosing our students on the basis of good character and a desire on their part to broaden their collegiate training through personal contact with people," he said. Nichols said shipboard par ties will be under the super vision of the dean of students but no alcoholic beverages will be permitted. Students desiring wine with their din ner may order it, however. Any student falling below academic standards in his work will be placed on proba tion, Nichols said. If the stu dent does not pull up to par within 10 days, he will be subject to dismissal. To Bo Put Ashore A dismissed student, how ever, will not be cast over board. He will be put ashore at the next port-of-call, and sent home, probably at the expense of the university. Degress will not be award ed, but transcripts of records will be sent to colleges or universities for credit.
