Coast Guard Seeks Collision Cause
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Coast Guard investigators checked the radar equipment of the luxury liner Constitution and the Norwegian tanker Jalanta today to find out why it failed to prevent collision of the ships in a heavy fog.
The 30,500-ton American export liner sheared the bow off the 12,228-ton tanker yesterday at a busy shipping crossroads in the Atlantic 22 miles from the tip of Manhattan Island. There were no deaths or injuries and both ships made the Bethlehem Steel Company yards in Brooklyn last night under their own steam.
The Constitution was en route to New York with a skeleton crew of 110 from a 3 million dollar alteration job at a Virginia shipyard. The ship suffered a 40-foot gash on its port side eight feet above the water line.
The cargo-less Jalanta was bound for Las Piedras, Venezuela, with a crew of 42. Its bow was cleanly shaved off at a cross-section bulk-head. The bow did not sink and was towed to Gravesend Bay for beaching.

Preliminary studies indicated the 19-foot-long satellite's life would be over one month, the Air Force said.
Textbooks 'Too Dear' to Sell
A distinct trend toward college students' keeping their textbooks after they have finished a course is shown in a recent Associated Collegiate Press poll of student opinion.
In a sample group of 12 University of Kansas students, seven kept all of their texts, three sold them when through with them and two kept only the books in their major field.
David Jones, Leavenworth freshman, stated that he sold his text-books to get the money, adding, "In many cases, with the money received for the book, one can buy a paper-back of as good quality and still have money left over."
Herbert Hohn, Marysville freshman, sells his because, "I need the money."
Pounds to Tell of Medieval Churches
Dr. Norman J. G. Pounds, Rose Morgan professor of geography, will lecture at 7:30 tonight on "The Medieval Parish Church: Architectural Styles and Sociological Functions" in Room 306B of the Kansas Union.
Dr. Pounds' talk will be illustrated with colored slides.
On the majority side of the ledger the most frequent response given by students was that they were saving their texts for reference. This also goes for the two people who saved only books from their major field.
Besides the usual reference library answer, Sharon Rogers, Glasco junior, keeps her books because "Tm very fond of books."
Willard G. Gauders, Bonner Springs freshman, said, "I usually
sell my textbooks unless they're needed for reviewing another course because I need the money."
Gail Adele Cordes, Mission senior, said, "The only ones I sell are those that are practically worthless. The others are good references."
Carol Ann James, Mayetta junior, said. "I keep my major textbooks and sell the rest if they aren't interesting."
Nathaniel Pearson, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore, said, "I usually keep my textbooks for reference. I'm building a library."
