And the stress of college life was high for second graders and students with lower grades than 2.0. Second, According to the correlation between factors, governance-dominance, independence-responsibility, sympathy-acceptance, sociable-friendliness, and ostentation-intoxication of interpersonal tendency factors had proportional relationship with college life adaptation, rebellion-distrust and college life stress had inverse relationship.

  • Methanol extract of Sarcodon aspratus Berk. (S. Ito) was analyzed by thi layer chromatography, gas chromatography and mass spectrophotometer. Nine fractions from primary methanol extract were observed by TLC. Six fractions were observed by the second TLC analysis of the second and the third fractions. 27,28-digydrolanosterol({TEX}$C_{30}H_{52}${/TEX}O), ergost-7-en-3-ol({TEX}$C_{28}H_{48}${/TEX}O) were identified from two fractions of the second TLC analysis by mass spectrophotometer. The molecular weights of 27,28-dihydrolanosterol and ergost-7-en-3-ol were 413 and 400 respectively.
