Around the Campus
A United States Public Health Service grant of more than $130,000 has been awarded to Dr. Byron S. Wenger, associate professor of comparative biochemistry and physiology, for a study of the earliest stages of life.
Project Gets Grant
Funds of $30,358 have been awarded for the first year of the six-year study, and smaller amounts have been allocated for subsequent years.
THE PROJECT, titled "Metabolic Pathways in Early Chick Embyros," is a new one, although research is related to that conducted by Wenger for several years.
"In the past, our studies have been devoted to the development of functions in the central nervous system." Dr. Wenger said. "Now we are more concerned with the earlier states of development when patterns first develop."
He said the early development of an embryo makes us of quite different pathways of metabolism. For example, in later life and in the adult, a maximum amount of energy is taken from the food. But in earlier stages, the food is used primarily for the developing organism.
Wenger said the metabolic processes are related to defects in development that result in congenital malformation. He is studying this problem with a $40,082 grant from the National Foundation-March of Dimes.
Assistants on the new grant are Mrs. Jeanne Ellermeier, wife of Robert Ellermeier, director of the KU electronics laboratory; Mrs. Lucy Yu, wife of Yun-Sheng Yu, associate professor of engineering mechanics, and Miss Mary Ruscha, all of Lawrence.
Zoologist Joins KU
Dr. Herbert Glenn Wolfe, staff scientist at the Jackson Memorial Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Md., has joined the University of Kansas zoology department as assistant professor and research associate.
Wolfe will teach and conduct research in the Hall Laboratory of Mammalian Genetics on inherited defects such as anemia and muscular dystrophy.
Wolfe received his Ph.D degree from the University of Kansas in 1960 and the bachelor's degree from Kansas State University.
Fredericks To Explain Basic Football Points
Foreign students who find themselves at a loss when it comes to understanding football will be instructed on the basic points of the game at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Assistant basketball coach, Bob Fredericks, will explain the game, using films of recent KU team contests. The program has been sponsored by the KU People-to-People Special Projects Committee.
Clarence A. Davis of Prairie Village has been appointed to the newly created position of purchasing agent at KU.
Purchaser Named
Davis, who will be responsible to Keith L. Nitcher, the University comptroller, will work with departments and divisions of the University in preparing specifications for purchases and assisting with general problems of buying. His office is in Room 2 Strong Hall.
Davis has been in purchasing operation for industry many years. He was with the Studebaker Corporation 30 years, finally as assistant purchasing agent for procurement of equipment and supplies for plants.
In 1956 he joined the Aviation Gas Turbine Division of the Westinghouse Electric Corp., as manager of purchasing and traffic and held that position until the plant in Kansas City, Mo., closed in 1961.
Seniors To Discuss Scholarships and Work
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will show graduating seniors how to apply for scholarships and how to seek employment at two separate meetings this week.
Scholarships will be discussed by George R. Waggoner, liberal arts and sciences dean, at the first meeting today at 3 p.m. in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
A question and answer panel will deal with employment problems tomorrow at 3:39 p.m. in the Forum Room.
Senior Gets Cash
Thomas D. Clutz, Rochester, N.Y., senior at the University of Kansas, today received the Solon E. Summerfield senior award in business administration for the spring semester of 1963.
The $150 cash award was presented by Dean Joseph W. McGuire at a School of Business honors coffee for students whose grades in the spring semester of 1963 qualified them for the school honor roll.
The award is made twice a year to the School of Business senior, who has completed the junior year the preceding semester, with the highest grades in required business administration and economics courses through the junior year.
The Solon E. Summerfield Foundation, Inc., through a gift to the KU Endowment Association, makes possible the award. Its purposes are to recognize the honor outstanding scholastic achievement in business administration and to encourage capable students to do their best work.
Clutz, an accounting major, earned an A in all the required courses, which total 35 hours. In addition, he was on the School of Business honor roll both semesters in 1962-63 and recently was elected to Beta Gamma Sigma, national honorary society in business and commerce.
Award to Scholar
Letha Marie Schwiesow, Shawnee Mission sophomore, is the 1963-64 recipient of the Genevieve Sterling Altman award which is made annually to a Watkins Scholar.
Miss Schwiesow is majoring in Slavic and Soviet Area Studies and French. She is a member of Cwens sophomore women's honorary society.
Team members were Chuck Marvin, Lawrence senior; David Seal, Independence, Mo., senior; Walter Bliss, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, and William Howard, Parsons sophomore.
Talkathon Continues- Individual Record Falls
The Joseph R. Pearson-Margaret Hashinger Hall talkathon reached the 336 hour mark today at 1 p.m., but not before the 10 hour individual talking record set last week fell.
Mary Kay Adams, Prairie Village sophomore, and Charles Weisel, Overland Park freshman, talked from 2:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. last Sunday to set an eleven hour record.
"We just got this brainstorm around 3:30 a.m. to break the record." Miss Adams said. "It seemed like we had talked for so long by then that it seemed like the logical thing to do."
"YOU MIGHT say we broke the old record and set a doubles record." Weisel said. "Name it, we talked about it. Courses in school, what we plan on doing when we graduate, movies, actors and actresses, . . . everything under the sun."
She, too, said the conversation included everything, but listed chemistry, mathematics, their life histories, and nursery rhymes as particular topics that she could recall.
The next tournament will be in Edmond Okla., on November 14-16.
The KU Varsity Debate team won two debates and lost four to the Emporia State Teachers College team last weekend in Emporia.
KU Debate Team Wins Two Matches
"I'd never do it again, believe me," Miss Adams said. "Anybody who talks for that long must be out of his mind."
"AT THE end we had nothing left to say," Miss Adams said, "so we started telling children's stories with offbeat endings. Like Cinderella never lost her shoe and the prince never found her. She lived to be an old maid."
"If two people do break our record, we'll try again, as long as it's okay with her (Miss Adams)," Wei-sel said.
When informed that a JRP resident is contemplating talking for 26 hours, Weisel said, "He'll never make it. Our 'doubles' record will still stand though, if he does."
The topic to be used throughout the year for the debates will be "Federal Aid to Education."
THE AMERICAN BOWLING Congress sanctioned approximately 12,000 tournaments with prize funds totaling $22 million in 1962.

Does a man really take unfair advantage of women when he uses Mennen Skin Bracer?
All depends on why he uses it.
Most men simply think Menthol-liced Skin Bracer is the best after-shave lotion around. Because it cools rather than burns. Because it helps heal shaving nicks and scrapes. Because it helps prevent blemishes.
So who can blame them if Bracer's crisp, long-lasting aroma just happens to affect women so remarkably?
Of course, some men may use Mennen Skin Bracer because of this effect.
How intelligent!
