Petitions For Holiday Extension
Will Be Submitted To Donovan Saturday night
Student Legislature.
Passes Resolution
For Extension
Results of the students' petition
Tor an extension of the Thanksgiving' holiday from one to three days
snail the return of President Herman Ll Donovan to the campus
Thursday. Dr. Donovan is now in
Chicago.
Petitions carrying a total of 1200

said yesterday.
STUDENT OPINION
These opinions fairly represent the
opinion of the students since they
were circulated in the law. engineering, and agriculture colleges, sorority and fraternity houses, and residence halls. More students would
probably have been contacted if the
petitions had been circulated longer
than two days," Ockerman said.
The resolution for an extension of
the holiday was introduced by Uhel
Barrickman, law student, to the
Student Bar association. The association decided to circulate petitions over the campus and to re-

quest the Student Government to
adopt a resolution to the effect. Bob
Spragens. law student, assisted Ockerman in circulating the petitions.
"Only students have signed the
petitions. There were no' faculty
signatures as has been reported."
Ockerman added.

Low-Incom-

By JIMMY MERCHANT

Do you know that some farmers
have to spend part of their small
income from their farm produce for
eggs, and that farm children are
not, as Is commonly thought, as
healthy as city children?
To find out the why and wherefore of these problems, the Univer
sity Bureau of School Service, under
the leadership of Professor Maurice
Seay, is entering the second year of
experimentation to determine the
influence of economic- information
in Improving living conditions of
families in the rural districts of Kentucky.
The most important purpose of
this study is to focus educational
programs for the rural children in
schools of low income
communities upon the problem of
getting their proper vitamins.
MATERIALS ONLY
There is no effort made to expand or improve the facilities of
these experimental schools except
with regard to instructional materials. Thus, If the experiment
should reveal that such an emphasis produces economic improvement, other schools could start similar programs with no change except the securing' of instructional
materials and adoption of similar
techniques of instruction.
The organization, methods, and
procedures are thoroughly demo

minor elements of manganese, copper, boron, zinc, and iodine. Wheat
was planted in each of the cans and
was watered with distilled water to
prevent any other element from entering.
RESULTS
When the wheat had reached maturity, that which was grown in soil
containing only the major elements
was short and did not have
heads. The other grain as
twice as tall, thrifty, and had heavy
heads.
In the case of experimenting with
field peas, those grown in soil lacking the minor elements was not
quite half as tall as the other and
had fewer pods.
The thriftiest plants of all were
produced when fluorine, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, and bromine were
added to the soil.
After the experiments were made
the plants were examined for nutritional food value, and it was
found that those with the most elements had the higher value. There
seemed to be a direct correlation between the chemical elements In the
