Experiments Conducted
On Non-Sleeping Ability
(By The Intercollegiate Press)
ATLANTA, Ga.—Remaining awake
for long periods of time isn’t unusual
in college, but remaining awake 100
hours for science is. Two University
of Georgia students did it so one
could write a thesis for an advanced
degree and to allow Dr. A. S. Edwards,
head of the psychology department, to
make observations on the results.
Harry Gerofsky, Trenton, N. J., and
Wendall Morris, Pensacola, Fla., were
the students. They stayed awake from 1
Monday, March 23, until Friday noon,
March 27. Gerofsky then slept for an
hour and rose again to attend a wed
ding in Atlanta. Morris remained in
bed until midnight, Friday, rose to
get something to eat, and was back
in bed again after 15 minutes.
Tests were made during the week to
ascertain the effects. Both lost weight
and complained of headaches and sore
eyes, but neither suffered any lasting-
effects. Morris, in fact, gained
srtength on the last day.
Conversation, cold water, cigarettes
and coffee were used to keep from
falling asleep. They wandered about
the campus for exercise, ate in local
restaurants and attended classes reg
ularly and tried to keep up with their
work.
Morris is a graduate student in the
psychology department and Gerofsky
a freshman taking the regular first
year course. Both have fully recovered
and complain of no evil effects from
their ordeal.
More than a hundred thousand Fin
nish women recently signed a petition
asking that an end be put to Prohibi
tion in Finland on the grounds that
it was in opposition to true temper
ance.
