it pear to defy the laws of nature Dr David L stein Caltech physicist said Monday night in man Auditorium At a temperature of minus 455.8 degrees heit which is very close to absolute zero any self-respecting substance would freeze would turn into a Dr Goodstein declared But not helium It is the only element that doesn't freeze into a solid It turns into a different kind of liquid Evidence of this is the cessation of vigorous boiling that was displayed at slightly higher This the physicist pointed out is the visible evidence of a transition into a strange new state of matter whose properties are so lar that we call it the superfluid Helium is the only chemical clement that can do it In the laboratory superfluid helium has an quality about it It looks very fragile very quiet and yet somehow very potent It looks in fact like a very dry marlini In a Caltech series lecture Dr Goodstein de- scribed the unusual qualities of helium Unlike the liquid in a martini the helium can flow easily through small holes in walls because it has no viscosity Viscosity makes it difficult for ordinary liquids such as water'to do this because their atoms always are detained by collisions with other atoms There are no such collisions in a because its at- oms move coherently If temperature is raised but a few de- grees it changes to an ordinary fluid and no longer can move through the wall Superfluid helium is a superconductor of heal It can move heat at a speed of 65 feet a second and is a thousand times belter than the next best heat con- ductor copper or silver Thus it is virtually impossible to have two ent temperatures in a single pot of helium Yet another interesting property of superfluid helium is its ability to climb the walls of a pitcher or beaker at a speed of about a foot a second Goodstein explained that this is possible because the forces that bind liquid helium atoms together are the weakest in nature Helium atoms prefer any other atoms for a helium atom happiness is a bare wall Dr Goodstein and his colleagues are attempting to unravel the mysteries enveloping this state of matter called the superfluid Red Cross Seeks Aides Volunteer nurses are

renewal of the lax was asked only to continue level of the program as tered through the past four years There are no expenses to be Dr Berck said and our previously approved lax has kept the figure to only this year So keeping under the maximum rate school board is not advocating increases in the program but only our moderately maintained continuation of a goad education program maintained over the

have never been 100 per cent sure that the sister city program is a reliable path to international good will Nevertheless we note an announcement by Los An- geles Mayor Yorty that the friendship between and its sister city Lusaka capital of Zambia has been strengthened by an exchange of official police caps be- tween the Los Angeles deputy police chief and Zambia police commissioner in a ceremony in Lusaka with the U.S ambassador to Zambia doing the honors If friendship is this simple we hope Mayor Yorty passes the idea on to the President With the new hats of the White House police we could make a lot of friends in the Balkans Jr Managing Editor
