University Medical Students Study Brains Set in Plastic
By DANA LEIBENGOOD
Brain sections imbedded in plastic will be used for the first time in the new integrated program of neurology in the medical school at Kansas City.
Card Tournament To Start Dec. 8
The Intramural Bridge tournament, sponsored by the Student Union Activities board and the 4-No Bridge club, will be held at 7:15 p.m. Dec. 8, 10, and 15 in the Jayhawker room of the Student Union.
Trophies will be presented to the top three teams. Winners in the rounds will be decided by considering percentage play. Players may play in all three rounds or may miss a round. The average of the two highest rounds will be the final score.
The winning team will represent KU in the Big Seven tournament and the National Intercollegiate Bridge tournament.
Each organized house and organization may enter two teams (four persons) and additional partnerships from each house may enter as independent teams. Partnerships may be composed of men or women, or may be mixed.
Names of contestants should be submitted by Friday noon at the Student Union Activities office.
Duplicate bridge, a form of contract bridge, will be played in all preliminary rounds.
Dr. Paul Rooef, professor of anatomy, and Dr. Howard Matzke, associate professor of anatomy, prepare the sections for imbedding, and Robert Guntert, plastic technician, mounts them.
It takes about a month to make each section. The first step is to cut up the brain into sections using a sliding knife called the "guillotine." The sections are put in a prussian blue stain for three minutes, and then in a solution of formaldehyde. This is followed by a period of dehydration, for the sections must be free from water before they are put in the plastic. The final step is to imbed them in the plastic, which is put it an oven over night.
After they are finished, they are photographed and made into a small atlas which gives information on each section.
"These sections are an excellent device for teaching neuro-anatomy and neuro-physiology," said Dr. Roofe. To accompany this new approach, the Medical school has bought 250 slides of the entire brain.

Disk Jockeys Ranked Tops By Frosh Girls
Freshman girls at Corbin and North College halls prefer disc-jockey shows when it comes to a choice of campus radio programs, according to a survey taken by members of the staff of KDGU, University radio station.
Sentiment was overwhelming in favor of disc-jockey programs among the 299 girls who filled out questionnaires. In second place was classical music, and next were news and variety shows.
Of the freshmen who took part in the survey, 242 considered themselves KDGU listeners. They rated the broadcast hours in the following order of preference: 7-8, 5-6, 4-5, and 6-7 p.m.
Men announcers were preferred by far to women announcers. The ratio was 60 to 1 in favor of the men. Only three girls voted for female announcers.
If the KDGU program were to be expanded, the preferred hours were listed as 8-12 p.m. The station recently extended its broadcast time to cover the 8-9 period.
According to results of the survey, KDGU listeners are not limited to the girls who live at Corbin and North College halls. The staff reported that several KU men regularly visit the dormitories to listen to the programs.
KDGU began broadcasting Sept. 14. The programs are carried by leased wire to North College and put on the air by a transmitter there.
KDGU officials said facilities may be expanded in the future to allow other University houses and dormitories to hear the broadcasts.
