TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1960 • • —Collegian Photon by John Beim* NEW HAT STYLES? These are hat styles in a way but actually they are just three of the many ways the freshman coeds are wearing their clinks during customs.

According to Dr. Lawrence Fouraker, assistant dean for research and pro fessor of economics, the science of economics. Speaking on "An Experimental Approach to Economics" to the Faculty Luncheon Club yesterday at its weekly meet ing, Fouraker said that methodology is perhaps the dullest aspect to be dealt with in eco nomics. "Economics is a social sci ence," he said. "We are dealing with variables that are hard to predict—namely, human beings." "We can't put them under a microscope," he jokingly asserted. Because people's actions are so unpredictable, Fouraker eo n tinued, there has been little ex change in the past between theorists and workers in the eco nomics field. Howe v e r, Fouraker said, achieving cooperation between the groups has been a main proj ect of economists recently. Here at the University, the professor of economics has been conduct ing research along with members of various other fields, such as economists in agriculture. "My first shock in working with variables we wanted to con trio was that. their reactions were not present in the theories," Four aker said. The speaker listed as the two requisites needed for research, gathering contradictory theo ries and devising experimental situations relevant to one's models under rigid conditions. At the present time, Fouraker is testing many known theories but placing them in varying situ ations. "We are approaching a new era in economics in devising and test ing experiments," he declared. —Three-quarters of a ton of the precious metal platinum valued at over sl,ooo,ooo—is used in the form of a catalyst by a large petroleum refiner to produce high-octane gasoline.

It is a time for keeping off the grass, a time for knowing the songs and cheers, a time for wear ing your dink and name card with pride and a time for picking up the wonderful spirit you dis played last week. The latest word from the Fresh man Customs Board is that cus toms will not end until freshmen snap out of the slow start with which this week began after the weekend's rest. A good many freshmen have taken to not wearing their cus toms. This, reminds the Board, is a bad time to begin that since they had been seen wearing them last week and are now branded "Frosh." This was the most fre quent offense of the freshmen re ported yesterday for customs vio lations.
