The EDA, part of the Commerce Department, supplies money to counties to help build water systems and roads, but there is a minimum population limit of 1,500, he said Tuesday. Neither Wayne nor Piute have that many people.

If they exist, they do not behave like the known viruses. Could it be they are also viroids? Diern's evidence does not rule out such a possibility and his window onto the viral world by way of the potato should lead to answers relatively soon. The potato disuse viroid is a molecule of ribonucleic acii (RNA) which is the recipe for its own reproduction and very little if anything else, Dierner of Department pant in his U.S. Agriculture in laboratory virology Beltsville, Md. It is more or less free of the aggressive chemical com- ponents with which viruses first force entrance into the cells of infected vegetables and animals and then compel the cells to Diener's evidence indicate. an extremely low rate of manifest sickness from infections cf viroids. Logically this would be a characteristic of any human cancer vims. "Evidently, infection by vir-bis not necessarily detrimental to a cell or an organism," he said in a report to the technical journal, "Nareplicate viruses. To get itself reproduced, mis ture." Even an infection with a viroid relies entirely on the enzymes and other reproductive facilities of its host which automatically follow the recipe coded into its RNA. viroid like the viroid "is without potato obvious consequences in certain hosts or in certain tissues." disease-causin- g DePauw Students Look Forward to Winter Term Because Academic Pot Pourri Is Fun GREENCASTLE, Ind. (UPI) Students at DePauw University loo- forward to the time between fall and spring terms not because it's a vacation but because the classes they have then are fun. - The plunge 2,300 undergraduates into an academic pot pourri called winter term that lasts four weeks and may include trips to New York, Mexico, Washington, Ethiopia and Japan. For those who decide to stay the campus, the school brings in noted speakers all dealing with a particular topic. The program is not unique. It at is being tried successfully at other colleges. Patrick Aikman, director of information for DePauw, said the school adopted the plan because administrators and students felt the learning experiences of the classroom needed to be expanded by means. Participation Required Participation in the winter term is required every year a student is on campus, although no credit is given for the project and grades are rated in terms of satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Students have to make up unsatisfactoty work. There is no tuition for the winter term and students who are off campus at least a week get adjustments to their room and board costs. Students have to pay for their travel. "If a student can't find an offering to his liking, he may petition for permission to investigate a particular area," Aikman said. "Individual study and off campus projects have to be sponsored by a faculty member." -- the approved subjects, Aikman said. C'adents are Enthusiastic Aikman said a survey showed 70 per cent of the students viewed the term with more enthusiasm than they did regular courses. "About 50 per cent do work in the field they expect to enter after graduation, including in medicine, accounting, teaching and government," Aikman said. "Some of these find that they The projects are subject to review to make sure they have aren't as interested in the area "a potential of educational as they thought, but others find growth."
