committee had been requested by
Miss Baker as a- go-between for
the students and food service.
In reporting on a tour of the
foods building by the committee,

grade and nothing except bottled

Bronze Medal
The University recently pro
duced an all-American •melon.
The melon, named "Pennsweet,"
won a bronze medal in the 1955
selections, Dr. Russell E. Larson,
head of the horticulture depart
ment at the University, announced
yesterday.
Dr. Larson developed the melon
several years ago.
"Pennsweet" was found to be
a good producer in several states,
including Pennsylvania. It is early
to fruit. produces vines that are
fairly vigorous with several mel
ons 1% to 2 pounds in weight.
The principal outstanding feature
of the fruit is its thick, sweet
flesh, which has 11 to 15 per cent
sugar content.
Sufficient seed has been pro
duced so that most seed catalogs
will offer "Pennsweet" in the 1955
listings, Dr. Larson said.

Chemists
Seek Uses
For Sugar
University chemists are break-
MP. - up the sugar molecule in an
effort to find more uses for this
f - -1 material.
Dr. 1 31- “lin S. Skell, assistant pro
49sso- of chemistry. who is study
th- comnlicated molecule ex
nlained. "We're tackling the prob
lem by splitting LID the molecules
nri converting their parts into
.' I 'nf, are known as amines."
"Sugar is one of the cheapest
qnd most plentiful of bur organic
chemical raw materials. Depend
ing on its degree of purity and
where it was obtained, it costs
only about four to nine cents per
pound.
"Sugar is also in oversupply to
day, and many industries would
be interested in finding commer
cial applications for such a raw
material."
In Dr. Skell's laboratory, sugar
is placed in steel vessels with
walls one-half inch thick. Am
monia, hydrogen and a catalyst to
speed up the reaction are added,
and the container is sealed. It is
then subjected to high tempera
tures and shaken. This process
breaks down the sugar molecule
into fragments which combine
with the ammonia and hydrogen
to - produce amines.
"The chemistry of these amines
piperazines has been studied
sparsely up to this time," accord
ing to Dr. Skell. One piperazine
derivative is being. used as an
anti-histamine.
