Of the billions of stars in the universe, many probably have orbiting bodies similar to our own earth and other planets of our solar system. This is supported by the wriggling motion of some of the stars in their orbit.

Midwest Scientist Named Dean at USU Science School A distinguished scientist from the midwest has been named new dean of the College of Science at Utah State University, President Daryl Chase has an- nounced. Dr. Ralph M. Johnson, now dean of the College of Biological Sciences at Ohio State University, will assume the leadership of USUs fast growing College of Science March 1, 1968, said President Chase. The new dean, a graduate of Uath State, has had a career as an administrator and a re- have included those of research professor and director, research laboratories of the Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology; professor of physiological chemistry and pharmacology; professor of biochemistry, and direc-t- o rof the Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology. He now heads the College of Biological Sciences which has some 16,000 students enrolled. "We are pleased to have such a noted scholar and scientist join the Universitys faculty, President Chase said in announcing the appointment. Dr. Johnson brings to the deanship of the College of Science an international reputation as skilled administrator, teacher and scien- searcher for the National Institutes of Health, University of Wisconsin, Detroit Institute of Cancer Research, and Wayne State University prior to joining the faculty at Ohio State.
