This core must be constructed
from an impermeable material to

With the use of slides, Kuiper
explained the origin of various
moon features such as "lava

Because of the absence of ero

moon is a fossil record of some
5 billion years.
Kuiper said that at the time
the moon was formed there was
. 1 period of tremendous internal
heat The steam that escaped and
the heat on the surface gave the
moon at that time a brittle sur

on this surface.
The slope of the craters indi

hide its object, at the same time
remaining faithful 'to the emo

Safety Division Staff
To Inspect Buildings
The University's safety division is in the midst of con
ducting routine inspections of all campus buildings, Elwood
F. Olver, director of the Department of Security, said
yesterday.
Members of the safety division staff are inspecting build-
ings for general good housekeep
ing practices. They are checking
for rubbish, inflammable waste
and other combustible items
which may be stored in the build
ings, Olver said.
As another precautionary
measure, fire doors in the build
ings will hereafter remain
closed to provide the protection
for which they were designed.
Various devices used in the past
to hold the doors open will be
removed.
University employees have
been instructed to see that the
doors remain closed.
The fire doors are now being
held open by a chain. One of the
links of this chain is made of
solder and when it is heated it
will break and the door will close.
Firedoors in public buildings are
used to reduce the effects of
drafts in the stairwells and there
by provide a safe exit for occu
pants of the building.
Three departments—the De
partment of Security, the De
partment of Construction and
Planning and the Department
of Maintenance and Utilities,
made the ruling at a meeting
Wednesday. The new measure
is in line with the Pennsylvania
Department of Labor and In
dustry's current fire hazard in
-1 spection of school buildings.
More than 60 persons concerned
with the safety work at the Uni
versity attended a safety confer
fence held Wednesday night. The
