- NEWSPAPER CONFISCATED IN EAST BERLIN (ACP)—The Daily Tar Heel, student newspaper of the Univer sity of North Carolina, is sub versive, capitalistic literature, not fit to be seen by the citizens of the glorious Democratic Peoples Republic of East Germany. there are about six border guards getting ready to defeat us, prob ably as a result of the lead story on women’s rules,” Rodgers said. At least that’s what the East German border guards at Check point Charlie in Berlin told stu dents Richard Rodgers and Andy Halton, assistant business man ager, when they went across the border from West to East Berlin during the Christmas holidays, the newspaper reported. Rodgers carried an issue on the trip to take a picture of someone reading it in sight of the border. They managed to take the picture before the border guards confis cated the paper. “Somewhere in East Berlin STUDENTS ESCAPE TAX (ACP)—Arizona State Univer sity students will not have to pay city sales taxes on educational purchases, according to a recent Superior Court ruling, the State Press reports. Judge Charles L. Hardy ruled that the city of Tempe may not charge a one per cent tax on student housing and meal tickets, performances at Gammage Audi torium, or bookstore purchases by students. The city had contended in its suit against the Arizona Board of Regents that taxes should be paid on such university purchases because they compete with local businesses.

M OH BAT WASHINGTON CP) _ A nasty little backstage Washington wran gle went into those anti-smoking posters soon to adorn the sides of U.S. mail trucks. By all accounts of reliable gov ernment sources Wednesday: The President was irked. The secretary of agriculture was unhappy. The postmaster general was harassed and nearly sued. The surgeon general was stub born. Tobacco-land congressmen were smoking-mad. AND EVEN as the posters pre pare to go up, it’s virtually im possible to tell who won. The dispute already has cost the De partment of Health, Education and Welfare half of February — the month it had reserved to use the mail trucks to tell Americans: “100,000 doctors have quit smoking cigarettes. Maybe they know something you don’t.” As a result of the skirmish, the posters also will carry a newly printed sticker informing poster- watchers that the 100,000 doctors are an “estimate based on sur veys by National Opinion Re search Center and U.

He repre sents 130 separate GE “companies” that deal in everything from space research to electric tooth brushes. We call them product departments. Each one is autonomous with its own management and business objectives. That’s why a job at General Electric offers the kind of immediate responsibil ity you might expect to find only in a small busi ness. Right from the start you get a chance to demonstrate your initiative and individual capa bilities. And the more you show us, the faster you will move ahead. As you do, you’ll find that you don’t necessarily have to spend a lifetime working on the same job in the same place. We have opera tions all over the world. Chances are you’ll get to try your hand at more than one of them. Our inter viewer will be on campus soon. If you’re wondering whether it’s possible to find challenging work in big business, please arrange to see him. He speaks for 130 “companies.” GENERAL^ ELECTRIC An equal opportunity employer Welfare John W. Gardner wrote Postmaster General Lawrence F. O’Brien to reserve one side of 53,- 000 mail trucks for this month. The Public Health Service de signed the poster. The Post Of fice Department’s role, a spokes man said, was simply to make sure that it was waterproof and of proper size. All went serenely until the end of January, when the Associated Press carried a two-paragraph item about the mail truck cam paign. All involved are still pretty sensitive about what happened next. None wanted to be quoted by name. The consensus account: LAWYERS FOR the tabacco lobby threatened to sue the Post Office Department to keep the posters off the trucks. Post Of fice referred all questions about the “100,000 doctors” claim to Health, Education and Walfare. Members of Congress from to bacco-growing states “made strong personal representations” to Post Office and Welfare in protest of the poster. They happened to be on con gressional committees that have much to say about Post Office and Welfare operations. Finances, too. THE AGRICULTURE Depart ment, which is spending $3.5 mil lion a year for tobacco research, took no official position. A new method for testing a space age titanium alloy with nu clear energy — which could save many thousands of dollars — will be explored by Texas A&M’s Acti vation Analysis Laboratory. The study, funded by NASA at $19,283, may lead to a method of improving the reliability of ti tanium alloy pressure vessels for future spacecraft applications. William E. Kuykendall, Jr., as sistant research engineer in A&M’s Activation Analysis Lab oratory, explains that titanium alloy used in pressure vessels ex ists as a mixture of two phases— alpha and beta. In the proper form, the alpha phase is evenly dispersed throughout the titanium alloy. In the unacceptable form, the alpha is present as oxygen- rich elongated “stringers.” The stringers may seriously affect the strength of the titanium alloy. This is where activation analy sis enters the picture: By bom barding a piece of titanium alloy with fast neutrons (which are nuclear particles produced by the Laboratory’s accelerators), some of the oxygen atoms are converted to a radioactive form of nitrogen. These nitrogen-16 atoms give off a characteristic radiation which can be detected. “A titanium alloy pressure ves sel forging can cost $80,000 to manufacture. These pressure vessels are currently tested by potentially destructive methods,” said Kuykendall. Testing by activation analysis, which leaves the object unscathed, may be able to improve the re liability of the pressure vessel which are actually used on a mis sion. In the initial six-month explor. atory study, small pieces of ti tanium alloy will be analyzed, \ Later larger pieces may be map ped to detect differences in crys talline structure and oxygen con tent which indicate the presence of alpha stringers. At the A&M Activation Analy- j sis Laboratory pneumatic tubes j similar to those used in depart- \ ment stores zip the sample into] the path of fourteen million elec-j tron volt neutrons and then zip it back to a counting device. This, system is automated and com puter controlled. Kuykendall believes activation analysis may have a number of other applications in testing the materials used in the space pro gram. Today, the steel industry employs activation analysis to monitor the oxygen level in its products. L SALES-INTERNSHIPS AVAILABLE WITH JEFFERSON STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE CO.

NEWMAN’S STILL CHAMP (ACP)—Rest easily, girls. Paul Newman’s still the champ—at egg-eating, that is. Newman’s imaginary record of 50 eggs was threatened, however, when Louisiana State University sophomore Mike Patterson, in an heroic attempt, gobbled 41 in an hour, the Daily Reveille reports. Patterson took his run at the record, established by Newman in the movie “Cool Hand Luke,” before a cheering crowd of G6 men on the basement floor of Hodges Hall. The psychology major appar ently had claimed he could down the eggs and received appropriate challenges from men on the floor, About 15 of them were said to have a special interest in the event. Patterson, of medium build and weighing about 180 pounds, start ed fast, swallowing more than’', 30 the first half hour. But then the pace slowed. “The turning point was at 25,' halfway,” he said. “Then I started feeling real full.” He walked around the room Newman-style, listened to advice from trainers, and attempted tc open up some room by burping, But with one minute to go, he had downed only 40. He decided then to try to gulp them all but gave up in the attempt for fear of choking. Any regrets? “I’ll try again about a month after the second semester begins,” Patterson said.
