MI Colloquium Debates Rocks' Ages By KATIE DAVIS How do you tell the age of a rock? Verifying the age of rocks was the topic discussed at the Mineral Industries Colloqui um yesterday afternoon. Leon Long of the Lamont Geological Observatory and Columbia Uni versity spoke on "The Applica tion of Radioactive Age Determin ation to Solving the Metamorphic History of the Eastern United States." Basically. Long said, the age of a rock is measured by the events which have happened to it, The parent isotope in a rock' undergoes many changes which lead to the formation of daugh ter isotopes, the units that the geologist studies. Long pointed out that there are three methods to study the age of rocks—the uranium, thor- LOX & BAGELS Every Sunday Morning at the NITTANY DELL "Home of delicious sandwiches' AD 11-8502 30. 1958 sion Set en Hours tatives and members of the administra lorning to discuss the feasability of ex ,en hours on weekends. cKenzie, vice president for business ad- C.

The HUB Board voted fo ask MacKenzie to approve the per manent extension of hours at a meeting last Thursday. There were no dissenting votes on the motion despite the report that there was a loss suffered by Food Service during the two trial weekends earlier this month when the Lion's Den hours were extended. sed 'Louis A. Berrena, manager of Food Service, said that $46.32 was lost. About 300 students were served each night during the ex periment which ran Oct. 3, 4, 10 and 11. Berrena said that there will be a greater loss if the Den is kept open permanently because regu lar employees will have to be hired. Student employees were used for the trial weekends. Frymoyer made the original request for later hours at a meeting of the HUB Board last month. The extended hours would pro vide a place for freshmen to go on weekends since they are not allowed to visit fraternities be cause of the deferred rushing pro gram, he said. Upperclass independents and fraternity members would prob ably also take advantage of the later hours.

Long said he has been study ing the rock stratification of west ern North Carolina and believes that this area which is one -bil lion years- old underwent an im portant metamorphosis 350 mil lion years ago. At this time the rocks were reheated and crystal ized into different forms. The' New York City area, Baltimore and the Highlands in New Jersey also underwent this same meta morphosis. In his studies Long used mica which he believes is a reliable determinant of age. He said, though, that feldspar may give ages older than mica.

PENNSYLVANIA Career Day Favored By Chem-Phys The Chemistry-Physics Student Council has unanimously voted to favor the proposed All-University Career Exposition. The Council pledged its support for the plan. "And it doesn't cost us anything because it is spon sored by the Inter-College Coun cil Board," the members agreed. Last month the council was asked to participate in the ex position to be held in the spring by the engineering and archi tecture and mineral industries councils. The Chem-Phys Coun cil was considering this pro posal. Last year the Council's individual exposition was scheduled on the same day as that of mineral industries. The Council feels that with the All-University Career Day stu dents will be able to get more linformation about related careers in each college. One council mem ber stated that the Career Day' will be especially useful to grad-1 luating seniors who wish to know !their about job opportunities in their fields. "A chemistry major ;may find out about other jobs be !sides the job of a chemist. Donald Zepp, president of the Council. explained that the Ca reer Day would be modeled af { ter the Industrial Exposition t i which was held last spring in the Helsel Union Building. Businessmen from about 25 corporations rented spaces in the HUB to display their products Iduring this exposition. He said that because of the scope of a Career Day, which would include companies re p resenting profes sions from each college, ICCB would have to be selective about the - companies which were asked to attend. He said that displays could be placed in the HUB cardroom and in the HUB ballroom, bringing the total of companies included to 50. Recreation Building was discussed as a place to hold the Career Day if the HUB could not accommo- date all the companies. The ICCB will vote on whether to sponsor the Career Day after each council has considered the proposal. Campus Bells-- (Continued from page one) He has no idea when the equip ment will arrive.

'The areas which we deal with are so large that it is hard to see things as certain." "Interlab correlations are not always good. Our laboratories have sent out analyzed specimens to other schools and have re ceived'analyses from them of the same rock with differences in age which cannot be ignored."

Traffic Signs to Aid Grads' Auto Problem Help is on the way to the residents of the Graduate Housing area to ease the traffic congestion in the area. Elwood F. Olver, director of the Division of Security, said yesterday "No Thru Traffic" signs were ordered several weeks ago for the area and are expected to arrive shortly. These signs will be put into im mediate operation. The citizens of the housing area, led by Lewis Geiger, a graduate student in metallurgy from Reading, and his wife have protested the disregarding of one-way traffic and le m.p.h. ' signs by students, faculty mem bers and University employes. Geiger's protests were heard by Col. Lucien Bolduc, head of the Campus Patrol, and then Geiger forwarded a letter concerning the situation to Olver. The letter was signed by nine residents of the area, The residents are mainly con cerned with th, safety of the 97 children who live and play in the area. The west end of Linden Road is one way from the end of Maple Street to the road at the rear of the South Halls resi dence units. Geiger said many faculty and staff members and students dis regard the one-way sign and en ter Maple Street from the top and travel to E. College Avenue. This is especially prevalent dur ing meal hours and on weekends, Geiger said, and presents a haz ard to the children in the area. "I am very pleased with the results of the letter and the co operation we have received." Geiger said. Generally the sit- ' nation hasn't changed much since the protest began Oct. 10, he said. Olver said patrolling of the areal by the Campus Patrol would bel stepped-up and the 10 m.p.h signs would try to be enforced.
