Brain Theory Talk Tuesday
Dr. Horace W. Magoun, a leading contributor to the new concept of brain function, will lecture here Tuesday, in Room 124 Malott Hall at 4 p.m.
Dr. Magoun, professor of anatomy at the University of California at Los Angeles, pioneered work which resulted in the theory that partially overthrows the long-held view that the cortex or outer layer is the most precious part of the brain.
Speaking Contest Due Wednesday
The ninth annual intramural speaking contest sponsored by the Forensic League will open at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday with an informative speaking contest. Demonstrative speaking contests will be held April 18 and a contest in after dinner speaking will be held April 25.
According to the new view, the brain's highest "integrating" activity may be centered in the mid and lower brain, in a region described as the reticular system. Through its summing up of nerve impulses received from various parts of the body, the reticular system "arouses" consciousness, proponents of the theory believe.
Dr. Magoum's lecture will be on the hypothalamus, that part of the mid-brain which controls the internal organs, including the heart, liver and intestines, and also is related to emotion.
Dr. Magoun will spend today at the KU Medical Center examining the medical history collection. He will visit laboratories and will be honored at a luncheon here on Tuesday.
Any student is eligible to compete who is not a member of the Forensic League, Sigma Delta Rho, or the varsity debate squad and has debated in more than one intercollegiate tournament.
Individual winners of each event will receive engraved trophies. Second and third place winners will receive certificates. Points will be given for each of the places in all events and trophies will then be awarded the two houses or organizations accumulating the most points.

Student Collects 55,000 Zinc Pennies-All1943 Issues
Penny wise and pound foolish is a misnomer for Bill Breyfogle, Olathe junior.
Bill is a penny-pincher of sorts, but the 55,000 zinc pennies (all 1943 issue) he has saved since 1948 will soon pay him dividends.
Bill started collecting pennies as a hobby and "to save money." His first major source of the zinc coins was the Olathe parking meters. When the advent of automatic coin counters cut short his supply from that source, he turned to the Olathe merchants to assist him in his penny gathering venture. Soon he had practically everyone in Olathe sorting the zinc and copper pennies.
Though he is going to cash his pennies in soon, and deposit the sum in a savings account, Bill figures that in 50 years the pennies would be worth four to five cents each as collector's items.
Fifty-five thousand pennies could pose quite a storage problem, but Bill solved it by placing his board in quart milk bottles. He now has more than 40 quarts of zinc pennies!
"I don't think I can wait that long," Blaunt笑了.
Asked if he hoped to eventually
gather all the zinc pennies made, Bill said. "That's almost an impossibility since more than a billion of the pennies were minted."
Bill figures he'll have to take the pennies to a Federal Reserve bank in Kansas City to to get cash for them. "I doubt if any of the smaller banks would want to bother with counting them," he said.
