Approximate
Chest Totals
To Be Given
Up to date totals of this year's
Campus Chest drive and amounts
that will be alloted to each group
benefiting from the drive will be
released Tuesday, William Klis
anin, Chest chairman, said yester
day.
The totals will not be final,
Klisanin said, because the Chest
has not yet received funds from
veterans. Veterans donate to the
Chest through their book receipts
which will be available March 28.
The Campus Chest will also re
ceive the proceeds of the Alpha
Phi Omega "Ugly Man" contest
this year. Those funds will not
be available until after the con
test ends March 28.
Klisanin said he will present
a plan at the next cabinet meet
ing for allocation of funds that
were originally to be given to the
March of Dimes. The March of
Dimes turned down Chest funds
because it is against national
policy to accept money from joint
fund-raising group s. Klisanin
said late last month that he may
attempt to give the money to the
March of Dimes by having it
d o n'a te d through All-College
Cabinet.
The March of Dimes was to re
ceive six per cent of Chest funds.
Groups that will receive money
from this year's Chest drive are
Penn State Christian Association,
46 per cent; World Student Serv
ice Fund, 12 per cent; Scholar
gram program, eight per cent;
Heart Fund, Salvation Army, Leo
Houck Cancer Fund, Women's
Student Government Association
Christmas Fund, six per cent; and
State College Community Fund,
one per cent. Three per cent of
Chest income will be used to
cover operating expenses.
Prof Finds Out
Cats Dislike
Sweet 'Things
Little children like sweet things.
Little doggies like sweet things.
So why not little pussy cats? That
was the problem, and Dr. Hu
bert W. Frings, associate profes
sor of entomology, set about to
solve it.
It seems a European scientist
reported that, while the dog had
a liking for sugar and sweet tast
ing things, the cat did not. Dr.
Frings, who has studied the taste
spectra of a variety of animals,
knew of none that could not
taste sweet.
With the assistance of Beverly
Cox, a graduate stud en t, Dr.
Frings ordered a large-scale cat
hunt. The tabbies were rounded
up on the farm of Miss Cox's
parents near Tyrone.
The cat poachers put their cap
tives in cages. Milk, diluted with
water, was used in the experi
ment because the cats dra n k
whole milk too eagerly and ig
nored water. When sugar was
added to the diluted milk, it was
taken eagerly by all the cats.
Each time the cats would take
the sweetened milk and ignore
the rest.
Dr. Frings has devised a "taste
spectrum hypothesis" which as
sumes that the more a substance
stimulates the taste, the more
sour it is. The substances that
are least stimulating are sweet.
All of which proves that a cat
by any other name still likes
milk.

they see it's no use living if you've
got to be good.' . —J. Barrymore.

Went the Strings of My Heart"

Initiate Becomes
35,000 th to Join
Alpha Phi Omega
Richard Updefraff, sophomore in
wood utilization, has become the
35,000 th initiate to be affiliated
with the national Alpha Phi Ome
ga service fraternity, Stanley
Rapp, local president, has an
nounced.
Updegraff was among 35 stu
dents initiated into the local
Alpha Beta chapter of Alpha Phi
Omega in December. His initia
tion received national recognition
in the fr at e r nit y publication
"Torch and Trefoil" and from the
group's national office in Kansas
City, Mo.
The Alpha Beta chapter was
reactivated here in 1948 after
being disbanded during World
War 11, Rapp said. The organiza
tion was organized in the 19305,
he added.
The local chapter has about 100
active members. The first chapter
of Alpha Phi Omega was founded
in 1925 at Lafayette College in
Easton. There are now 256 chap
ters in the national organization,
Rapp said.
Alpha Phi Omega is a national
service fraternity composed of
college and university men who
have had some affiliation with
the Boy Scouts. The fraternity
offers service both to the College
and the borough, Rapp said.
This year, Rapp continued, the
local chapter has pledged 600
hours of work to the borough.
Sound Waves Take
Froth of Minerals
The solution to problems caused
by froth on chemical and other
solutions may be intense high
frequency sound.
Dr. Shiou-Chauan Sun, associate
professor of mineral preparation,
has determined that sound waves
are effective in eliminating ex
cessive amounts of tough froth
in the flotation of minerals, par
ticularly coals, where it creates
trouble , in dewatering, filtering,
and handling.
Dr. Sun has found that a highly
mineralized froth, which can per
sist in air for four hours, could
be collapsed in four seconds when
the beaker that contained it was
exposed to intense sound.
The process is also effective in
keeping the surface of a highly
frothable liquid free of foam, Dr.
Sun pointed out.

Modern Bible
Version► Due
/n September
A translation of the complete
Bible into modern English, on
which 32 scholars and theologians
have been . working fo r fifteen
years, is scheduled for publica
tion next Sept. 30.
The New Testament, the first
nart of the Bible to be translated,
has been available in this Revised
Standard version since 1946.
This translation of the New
Testament has been the first mod
ern English translation of any
part of the Bible to enjoy wide
usage among Protestants since
the issuance of the King James
Version in 1611.
The translation was first au
thorized in 1929 by the Interna
tional Council of Religious Edu
cation, but the work of transla
tion was not begun until 1937.
The council work has since been
taken over by th e division of
Christian education of the Na
tional Council of the Churches of
Christ in' the U.S.A., composed of
29 Protestant denominations and
th e Eastern Orthodox Church.
This group will issue the new
translation.
