VERY FEW RULES

Charterhouse maintains a resi- dent matron. nurses and a doctor to cars for the brethren and a staff of maids to clean their rooms and prepare their four meals a day.

Rules and regulations are few. Brothers are free to come and go as they please.

Takes A While To Adjust To Antarctic 24-Hour Day

By DON GUY

McMURDO SOUND. Antarctica (AP)-This is the land of the big eye. The most popular club in this U.S. navy base is the Big Eye Club. You automatically join if you try to imitate the sun by stay- ing awiike 24 hours a day.

Nobody knows who started the term big eye. It's a good name for the glassy stare folks give each other when they meet in the midnight sun shine. "Big eye, huh?" you say to the other party. pretending to be on an important mission yourself.

Actually you are on your way to the mess hall to see if there is an unscheduled big eye movie. The other fellow is probably try- ing to find a poker game.

You can tell the new arrivals by the way they stand around out- side late at night WOIIdCI"lIIj whether a climb up observation hill would make them tired enough

The old timers have given up attempting to outlast the sun. They are inside the windowless quoiiset huts trying. as a chief warrant officer put it, "to get back on a sleeping schedule even if they stay awake all night in the attempt."

On previous expeditions to Ant- arctica It took weeks for a ship to battle its way through th ocean and pack ice that rings e con- tinent. The tranaltlon to coma! daylight was gradual. F,

Today you climb aboard a big air force Giobemaate at Hare- wood Airport. Christchurch. N.Z.. in midafternoon. when you land on the ice strip runway about 11 hours later your watch says it is about three in the morning.

The sun is slilni with a glars that calls for dark lasses as soon as you climb down from the plane. By the time you have eaten early breakfast in chow hall and un- packed your gear the rest of the camp is in full stir. A night's sleep was lost without being missed.

The first afternoon is the criti- cal period. If you succumb to a brief nap, all is lost. You awaka so refreshed you stay awake all night and the Big Eye Club has a
