STUDENT QUAKES
DISCOURAGED
DALLAS, Texas
only seismograph station at South
ern Methodist University campus
records about two earthquakes
per day, marking their intensity
with • a wavy line which jumps
sharply when a sharp trembler is
recorded.
It would average more if some
of the students had their way, ac
cording- to Prof. John Harrington,
supervisor of the station. Harring
ton says it is virtually a full-time
job shooing off would-be earth
quake-makers who shake the ma
chine to make it jump.
