4,By, 1 EXCRA Some 46e asid ine.the othsr di why my exchange column was i jokes this year. I thopght may more tha i 6ne had wonderod, in reply I would like to say that believe you can find out a lot abo a college by the jokes they prir Some college papers don't pri jokes - I think they are too se ious, a little humor goes a lox way. Some print jokes that a old as the hills and aren't the lea bit funny - oh well, that's bett< than none. Some are a little o color - reserved for technoloF and military schools (maybe). Humor is one of the basic r quirements for a well-rounded pe sonality and since developing 4 such a personality is one of ti main purposes of college, a perst without a sense of humor has n< acquired the most from his collej education. For what a sad wor this would be if we did not leai to laugh! * C C C * My garden is a college Where radishes and beans Pursue a course put into force By spade and hoe, the deans.

At left is President Trips Into Space May Be Possible Within 25 Years Rocket trips to the moon within 25 years are a distinct possibility, according to Albert L. Ragsdale, physics instructor. "Man may be closer to accomplishing these in terplanetary trips than many real ize. Numerous obstacles remain to be overcome, but much has already been learned in research speeded up by war demands," he said. Problems in developing fuels and metal alloys with extra strong qualities are two of the most press ing puzzles today, the physics teacher pointed out. They directly affect construction details and constantly force the redrawing of plans when new discoveries are made. Many fuel combinations have been tried in an effort to get the greatest driving power from the smallest quantity. Very good progress has been achieved, but more work needs to be perfected in order to obtain the push neces sary to get beyond the earth's gravitational attraction, Ragsdale explained. Meteors and cosmic rays and their behavior in the space beyond the atmosphere are of equal con cern to scientists. Countless mil lions of meteors and fragments fly through space and present a haz ard to any rocket ship. The small est object could hit hard enough to destroy the ship completely. Whether or not those flying pieces would be avoided is not yet known, Ragsdale declared. Overby Addresses Combined IRC Group At Banquet Prof. J. 0.
