Sea-Going University Prepares for Maiden Voyage Around World
By DAVID J. OESTREICHER
. United Pres. 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

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 sign that adorns it
reads, "He asked for credit" t

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.

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.
