See You July 5?
biggeSl- Play weekend of the summer is here —
the fourth of July holiday. For the vast majority of peoPl® xt. will start-at 6 p.m. this evening and continue to
midnight July 4th. This means a total of 102 hours for
millions of motorists to take to the open road in an ef
fort to see how far and how fast they ean go in the al
loted time..
.
Last year this^ holiday period consisted of only 78
hours and yet was “the worst ever experienced in Ari
zona, with 12 people losing, their lives in auto accidents.
With 24 additional hours available for merry m a k i n g
this year we urgently ask you to drive sanely and court
eously — hot tempers never help the heat situation.
With “boat fever” reaching epidemic status, caution
is a by-word of the water-ways — so remember to play
smart — play safe.
No one wants an accident — traffic or otherwise —
but the careless persbn can expect one. Have a happy
holiday and .we will see you back at the grindstone on
July 5th — We hope! — C.O.

“We are beating ourselves for
we publicize our failings more
than our achievements, whereas
the Soviets publicize only their
achievements.” So stated Dr.
Pranas Padalis, ASU associate
professor of economics, while
speaking on “Voice of America,
Broadcasts to the Soviet Orbit”
in the MU yestej^j^jfc
A part of the MU lectureluncheon series, Dr. Padalis’
speech emphasized the fact that
all Soviet activity is geared for
propaganda purposes, while the
U.S. has the genuine interest of
people at heart.
Chief and Program Editor of
the Lithuanian Service, Voice
of America, Munich, Germany,
1954-59, the ASU professor re­
vealed that the Soviet Union
broadcasts over 2,000 hours of
propaganda in 60 languages
weekly as compared with our
600 broadcasting hours in ^38
languages.
Stating that “we have no
message for the people of the
Soviet Union,” he also quoted
secret Lithuanian letters.

ASU Hosts Institute
On Desert Biology

Thirty-eight professors from
23 states and Pakistan, none of
whom holds less than a master’s
degree, have arrived at Arizona
State University to' participate
in a summer institute in desert
biology for college teachers of
biology.
\
The institute, which began
Monday and extends through
Aug. 6, is under the direction of
Dr. Gordon 'L. Bender, ASU
zoology prqfessor, and is sup­
ported by a National Science
Foundation grant of $40,500.
This is the third' co.nsecutive year in which the NSF has
supported, with grants total­
ing moret han $121,000, desert
biology institutes at ASU under
the direction of Dr. Bender.
The only one of its type cur­
rently being offered by a U.S.
college or university, the insti­
tute is designed for college
teachers who have had little or.
no opportunity to obtain first-

hand information about desert
biology.
•
Participants will study fac­
tors affecting plant and ani­
mal life in^the desert regions
and the adaptation of the or­
ganisms to these factors. Six
semester hours of graduate cre­
dit are awarded for successful
completion of the course.
The program includes field
trips to the Desert' Botanical
Gardens; Sierra Estrellas, near
Buckeye; Organ Pipe, south-of
Ajo; Joshua Tree Forest, Yuma;
Sonora Museum, Santa Rita
Experimen Station, and. the
geoçhronological and tfcee ring
laboratories at’ the UofA, Tuc­
son;. and to the Four Corners
area. .
Lectures, laboratories a n d
group discussions on the campus
will be conducted in the Life
Sciences Center, while the par­
ticipants and' their families will
be housed at Palo Verde Hall.

In addition to training the
boys daily, and directing the
music of six churches, Bob Mit­
chell is musical director of the
NBC outlet in Los Angeles and
was recognized' on “This Is
Your Life.” Often playing for
Saturday night dan'ces and per­
forming at Ocean Park, he
mentioned with a quick wink,
his sympathetic feelings for the
animal trainers, “I know how
they feel,” he added with a
chuckle.
Future plans for Mitchell and
his Singing Boys include a tour
of the Easterly United States in
the fall and another. European
tour iii the winter.
