Tests Reveal Why Turtles Outlive Dogs If you were a turtle, your heart would beat less than half as fast as it does now. But if you were a rabbit, it would beat three times faster. This proves (assuming that you're human yourself), that the heart beat per minute of warm-blooded animals is faster than that of cold blooded ones and why the latter live longer. These facts are utilized on the top floor of the Life Science build ing by the biology department's Dr. B. T. Cole and his graduate student assistants. Working with the electrocardiogram machines used on humans, they can measure and compare the heart action of dogs and frogs. In addition, analyses are be ing conducted on the fats in cell fractions. By comparing liquids in hardened arteries and those of normal arteries, scientists can make progress in the treatment of this disease. Sponsored and financed by the National Science Foundation, and the National Institute of Health I and the University Council, re- b spectively, the electrocardiogram and lipid experiments have been conducted at Carolina for three years.

Reynol Tohacen USC's Aus BY BLANDING CLARKSON, JR. r Pale blond hair, a soft "Eng- t lish" accent and the smootheste running style at USC since miler Billy Latham, would make sopho more Alan Rose unusual even if t he weren't the only Australian on the Carolina Campus. Over 9,000 miles from home, J Alan says, "I haven't felt home- A sick at all since I've been here, t mainly due to the friendliness of ( the people. I don't exactly go home a on the weekends, though. It would cost me $800 for a one-way t ticket." A distance runner, Alan is at tending the University on a track scholarship. While running for a private athletic club in Australia, he ran the mile in 4:15. His best time as a freshman last season was 4:23, still extremely good for a freshman in South Carolina track. He came to the attention of USC track c o a c h Weems Baskin through an Australian runner who was attending the University of Houston on a scholarship. He was Vorker? 'Angel ning of second semester during January. To be eligible, a girl must have a GPR of at least 2.0, which is a "C" average, and must show an interest in Angel Flight, the Cadet Corps, and the Air Force. She must also be a second semes ter freshman, sophomore or jun ior. She must be willing to wear the Angel Flight uniform on Thurs days and at other official ROTC functions and she is also required to appear before a board of inter viewers before selection. Those chosen are selected on the basis of poise, personality, and interest in the ROTC program. Angel Flight rush period is scheduled for beginning of the spring semester. Those wishing to apply will find application blanks available at several places on campus, including the Russell House Information Desk. The girls applying are then in terviewed and a certain number are invited back to a coke party. From among those who attend, the final group is chosen and in vited to pledge. They will be al lowed to go active near the end of that semester. Pe-have a ( bacco makes the b4 tralian Ru ecommended to Coach Baskin by I ,e Houston coach and after sev ral I-o-n-g distance communiques, s e decided to attend the Univer- t ity. He came to the States by ship, < .irough the Panama Canal, the a oyage lasting 40 days. "What p 'as most confusing," remembers i Jan, "was that when I left p .ustralia, it was the dead of win r, and when we docked in New y rleans, it was the middle of the r ummer here. "I also gained a day during the I rip, passing through the zones, I ut it didn't confuse me too much. g Alan I found that I liked it here very nuch. The opportunity to travel j md meet new people makes the f nvironment very pleasant. "Things are quite different from )ack home," observes Al. "For one hing, the accents are something! didn't believe people could talk ;o many different ways until I !ame here." Most people would describe Alan's accent as English but he ;ays it should properly be con ;idered Australian, since he main ains that a person with a real 'English" accent would have dif iculty making himself understood AMEL ist smoke! ns Track ere. Another thing that caused the lender twenty-one-year-old some rouble was the method of driving a the USA. "We drive on the ther side of the road, but I could ccept that change, but we also ass on the other side. I bumped rito more people around the cam us that way." "I have a visa good for four ears from the Government for y stay in this country. This will ermit me to finish school here, ut if I want to leave the country must get permission and also et a permit later to reenter." Ose "The educational system of kustralia is somewhat different rom what I have seen here. We tave six years of grammar school Lnd then six years of high school, nd you may leave after any year >f the latter. You don't get a liploma and there is no gradua ion, but you are given a certifi !ate showing to what level you idvanced. "If you complete all six years )f the high school program, you iave the equivalent of close to two rears of college here. The main ;rouble I had here scholastically vas caused by the two and one 1alf year layoff I had between Ligh school and USC. "There are only sev en Univer sities on the entire continent, one !or each state, so there is very ittle athletic competition between hem because they are so far ipart," adds Alan. "A big difference in the school rear is the summer vacation, vhich lasts for six weeks. Right in he middle of it come both Christ nas and New Year's since Austra ia's location reverses the seasons.
