WHITTIER, Calf. (UPD-A
new twist is about to be added
to the field of education. It's an
ocean-going college campus.
Nobody knows Just who came
UP with the idea of a floating
campus, but it appealed to a
group Of California educators
and businessmen who formed a
non-profit corporation as the
backbone for the University of
the Seven Seas.
The board of trustees of the
university includes the president
of a pipe and supply company,
a speech and drama professor
from Whittier College, an as
sistant professor of education at
California Western University,
a lumber company president, a
retired U. S. Navy rear admiral,
a U. S. Agriculture Department
entomologist, an associate pro.
lessor of history at California
Western University, a former
school superintendent, and a
former college president.
Within day or two after the
announcement of establishment
Of the University, applications
from prospective students be.

president of the board of trus.

the examiner, wait a minute,
I'll get it for you"
He stepped over to an old ia
BILE, stacked high with paper,
boxes and debris. From this he
pulled out a cigar box contain
ing several hundred dollars in
gold. A similar amount was
found under the fuel in a wood
box. Still more was found be-
meath the ashes in a stove.
He explained that the money
would be safer almost any
where than in the safe. After
Sargent examined the safe, he
agreed.
According to o. X. Burrell of
the University of Oregon, some
Northwest banks had strange
beginnings.
Pioneer merchants and ex-
press companies often accepted
special deposits such as gold
dust and pouches of cash. This
did not actually constitute
banking, although Burrel says
many banks did evolve from
this practice.
In Seattle, Dexter Horton, a
respected merchant, often kept
deposits" for trappers, loggers
and traders. Finally they acquir.
ed the habit of leaving their
money in his store, tied in cloth
or buckskin sacks and labeled
with the owners name. The
sacks or pouches were hidden
somewhere around the store.
The coffee barrel was a favor.
lite place.
From this beginning came
what is now the Seattle First
National Bank.

In Less Formal Days
Bank Kept Cash in Woodpile

examiner at the turn of the cen
fury, records many strange
banking practices.
In one bank, he found the
books $4,000 dollars short. This
appeared to be a shock to the
banker.
A second and third count still
showed a shortage. After bit
of head scratching, the banker
remembered.
He led Sargent to a wood
shed at the rear of the bank
and busted himself lifting wood
from a pile. Finally he pulled
out a sack containing the miss
ing funds.
He explained that the bank
had only a small safe which
was not burglar proof. If it
were robbed, the bank would
save at least some of the
money.
In another case, Sargent
found the combination of the
safe written on a small piece of
paper pasted to the safe.
The reasoning was that since
the safe was not burglar proof,
and the burglar had the COM
bination, he would not blow up
the safe. And though they
might lose the assets, they still
would have the safe.
In an old country bank, Sar-
gent found the books $1,000
short. The banker looked
around and then whispered to

being received every day.
According to Nichols, the uni
versity seeks to provide the
most favorable means for the
study of man, his resource, his
environment and his outreach.
He said the university felt the
mobile classroom is the way to
best provide the environment,
and added, 'Insted of bringing
the world piecemeal into the
laboratory, Wen take the stu
dent into the world laboratory"
By September, 1862 the uni
versity plans to launch its first
floating campus with SIS stu
dents from 35 to 40 of the finest
faculty m e m bers available,
Nichols said.
Arrangements have already
been made to turn the SIS Jeru-
salem into the university's first
mobile campus. A full-time class
schedule will be maintained at
sea, and while the ship is in
port, field trips, seminars at
local universities and other APP
propriate activities will be en-
phasized.
DR.. Nichols said the univer-
sity is designed for upper di-
vision college students and for
those already holding degrees
from accredited colleges and
universities.
'We'll offer advanced courses
for credit in the liberal arts
which pertain most directly to
the concept of international re-
lations," he said.

Eisenhower's Attacks Do Not Disturb Kennedy

WASHINGTON tR = President Kennedy does not intend fo got into a political scrap with Dwight Eisenhower in the current cleo tion campaigns. Nor does he in- tend to fire straightaway at Rich ard Nixon in his Los Angeles speech next month.
 As leader of the party in power Kennedy does intend to boost it's candidates and programs.
 Sources familiar with thinkinp at the White House and at Demo- cratic Headquarters so describe Kennedy's position in the light of these developments:
 Former President Eisenhower,s stumping for Republican candi- dates and his fresh attacks on the Kennedy Administration.
 Kennedy's warmly expressed support this week of Democratic candidates in New Jersey and Texas, where Eisenhower is &C., lively working for their COP rivals.
 Kennedy reportedly has been surprised at some of the points Eisenhower has hit in the last six weeks. Over that period the former President has charged Kennedy with indecisions and un- certainty on foreign problems, scoffed at his pet Peace Corps project, questioned his space pro gram and denounced his fiscal policies as confusing and extra vagart.
 While surprised on occasion, Kennedy is understood to be neither dismayed nor especially disturbed.

Carl Sandburg Speaks His Piece in Washington

WASHINGTON un White haired Carl Sandburg spoke of bloody battles of hundred years ago and what they mean to "the present hour of fate and history 7
 And in a twist of time and mood, the Lincoln authority spoke his mind on more recent Presidents, John F. Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
 The mercurial, 84-year- old poet put in a full day in the capital Wednesday and said his piece on a wide range of subjects, from books to fallout.
 He had chat with President Kennedy and lunch with Secre- tary of the Interior Stewart Udall, and then went to the Library of Congress for the press review of the Centennial Exhibition of the Civil War.
 At news conference, Sand burg had few things to say about Kennedy, former President Eisenhower and other matters.
 President Kennedy Chances are entirely he's going to rate as one of the great Presidents. He's n great relief from the press con- ferences of Dwight Eisenhower.
