That seemed to be the consensus Tuesday as college counselors and experts in many fields reported findings at Ford County's Career Day. More than 400 students from Melvin-Sibley, Roberts-Thawville, Paxton, Kempton, Piper City and Gibson City high schools attended meeting here.

"MORE SERIOUS" "For the most part students are more serious about college than they've been in the Marlyn Tenboer, Illinois Wesleyan University consultant, reported. "That fact is borne out here today. Students ask questions which indicate that they're genuinely interested in their futures. They no longer inquire only about sorority and such." Not only are the students more interested in college and careers upon graduation from high school, they're doing something about it earlier, James G. Hatcher, BradUniversity's representative, ported.

"We used to get most of our inquiries and do most of our registration work during the summer," said. "Now we have a lot of students who've already checked with us and have made their decisions on fields of study." COLLEGES GROWING A University of Illinois representative indicated that the students' increased interest in college really a reflection of the growth our major universities. With growth has come the feeling that it may become necessary do some "weeding out" or, at least, to raise standards.

Auto Accident Uncovers Bogus Check Operation SPRINGFIELD State investigators Tuesday reported a Springfield man has admitted passing bogus checks at Jacksonville, Quincy and Decatur, after an automobile accident uncovered a check writing scheme.

He was identified as George Morrell, 26, Springfield, who investigators said implicated James Goodlett, 32, also of Springfield, in the bogus check operation. Nancy McClanahan, 21, Springfield, was killed and Patricia Smith, 19, also of Springfield, was injured Monday when the car in which they were riding crashed into a tree. FIND CHECKS Police said the car belonged to Goodlett, and contained more than 200 blank checks and four checks made out to the same man on the same day. Investigators said neither of the women have been implicated in the bogus check operation, and apparently knew nothing of it. Miss McClanahan is formerly of Du Quoin.

Police said the four checks were made out to a "William Adams" and all were drawn as payroll checks on the Transfer and Escalating Peoria, through the First National Bank of Peoria. BOGUS FIRM Police said the firm did not exist. They said other checks drawn on the fictitious firm have been passed in Champaign, Bloomington, Jacksonville and Peoria. The lone Bloomington record of the operation was out of the state's attorney's office which has an check written on a local department store and signed by a "George Saunders." Police said Goodlett has a record for passing a bad check and was on probation. He is being held on a fugitive warrant for Peoria police.

The break in was discovered by John Metz, bus driver, Tuesday morning. Entrance was gained through an east window in the science room and from there burglars went to the agriculture shop.

SAME PATTERN In their ventures, the raiders removed a glass door, went the home economics room and removed the back from the refrigerator. Nothing else was disturbed. The school was entered three years ago by much procedure except the burglars used their own tools. Deputies of the sheriff's office investigating said they believe three or four persons made the raid. BLOOMINGTONNORMAL DEATH.

Strauss said this research will not compete with present development of nuclear fission for power production.

Nuclear fission splitting is the process used in so-called atomic bombs, as distinguished from the more powerful H-weapons.

The current research program tries to cope with the problem by means of a "stellerator, a hollow tube containing "hot gas." Strauss said the problem is to bring this gas to a high enough temperature while confining it long enough for fusion reactions to occur. Scientists are trying to do this through a "magnetic bottle" principle- -that is, by controlling the electrically charged gas particles with magnetic lines of force. These are supplied either by coils outside the apparatus or by powerful electrical currents I passing through the gas. Mr.
