On campus is a “human centrifuge,” the largest of four of its kind in the United States. It is located in a domeshaped sound-proof room behind the Science building.

This summer, use of the centri-tuge will be taken over in part by the psychology department for studies of various factor abilities of humans under the stress of G, the forces imposed by increased radial acceleration, which is the equivalent of multiplying the normal gravitation forces. This includes tests that will attempt to measure differences in perceptual speed, accuracy in perception of details, recognition of various patterns of stimuli, and reaction time.
TESTS STUDENTS I The office of naval research is sponsoring the project, one of three to be completed on campus. Thirty-five students have been hired to undergo the testing.
Tests will be conducted while the subject is wearing an BC-de-veloped nylon coverall G-suit designed to combat ‘‘blackout in flight. The suit weighs less than three pounds and attaches to a valve that automatically lets air into five bladders in the suit located at the subject's abdomen, thighs, and calves.

Only Supposition' Says Division PRO
Lifting slightly the pall which President Harry Truman draped over the shoulders of SC’s draftable young men last week when he signed the peacetime draft bill, Capt. Worth Larkin, public relations officer for the local unit of the national guard and former Wampus editor, said that there Is a possibility that the present regu-
lations will be revised to provide draft exemption for men under 18 Vi who join the national guaru.
“This is only a supposition,” the captain added, “but if the change is made, it will permit men just out of high school to Join the guard and avoid the drart. Our minimum age is 17.”
Captain Larkin pointed out that while enlistments have been closed for the 40th Infantry Division (whose local headquarters are in the armory), applications from would-be guardsmen are still welcome.
ENLISTMENTS MAY OPEN
“It’s very possible that enlistments will open again soon,” he said. “We’ve found from past experience that attrition results In a considerable turnover.”
Actually the California national guard is not at present even close to achieving its total authorized strength, according to Larkin.

Education Club To Hear Talk About Surveys
Speaking at the weekly meet* ing of th Education club tomorrow noon, Dr. George D. Strayer Jr., visiting professor of education from Indiana university will discuss “School Surveys.” The meet* ing will be held in the Cellar, basement floor of the Student Union.
Dr. Strayer will discuss the organization of a survey, its methods of procedure, and how th* survey is reported to the public. He said that surveys are as varied as the groups or individual* that make them. Surveys may be comprehensive or specialized and may deal with local, county, or statewide school systems.
ORAL REPORTS According to Dr. Strayer, survey reports in the past have frequently

men, but congress has not voted the necessary appropriations to pay that many men, and our strength is limited by the finances available,” he said. “At the time we closed enlistments, we had 6666.”
The bill signed by the president permits 161,000 18-year-olds to avoid the draft by signing up with the regular army for a year’s service in the United Slates.
INCREASE CALLED FOR
In addition to these volunteers, the bill calls for an Increase in the total strength of the army, navy, and air force to 2,005,882. The present total is about 1.400,-OOJ.
Other provisions or the bill are that men from 18 to 25 will register, but only those from 19 to 25 will be subject to the 21 months of service, and that no men will be inducted for 90 days. Registration will begin in about six weeks.
“In Indiana,” he stated, “slide* are now being utilized in the presentation of oral reports to aid In clarifying the report for the public.”
Drawing upon illustrations from past surveys, Or. Strayer will attempt to show the influence of these surveys not only upon the communities where they were made but also the influence of the surveys upon other communities. One illustration will be that of a survey made in the state of Washington which resulted in a new method of choosing the state board of education. “This conceivably could lead to a change in the method of choosing board members in other states.” Dr. Strayer stated.
When the survey is completed and the recommendations of the committees have been approved, the resulting report will then be presented throughout the state.
