Tourists Zip Thru Kansas; Don't Spend Much Dough
21
The old saying among cross-country drivers which goes, "When you hit Kansas City, Mo., put your foot on the pedal and keep traveling 'til you hit the Colorado line," will soon become a thing of the past. ___
A survey was held this summer by the University's Bureau of Business Research to determine how much time and money out-of-state tourists spend in Kansas. This survey was made for the tourist promotion council of the Kansas State Chamber of Commerce and the State Highway commission.
Research crews set up at various points in the state questioned the occupants of approximately 9,000 tourist cars during August and the early part of this month. The interview stations were set up at the major highway exits from the state.
The average tourist, according to preliminary figures, spent $6.02 a day while in Kansas. The national daily average tourist expenditure, however, is estimated at somewhere around $12. This means that Kansas visitors are not spending as much as they should.
These figures also indicate that

Final results of the study will not be ready for several months and will be supplemented by results from a winter study. The figures will be used for long-range tourist planning

Experimental research to find how flies are developing resistance to the DDT insecticide will continue under a $26,000 grant made this month by the Army Medical Research and Development board, Prof. Charles Michener, chairman of the entomology department, announced today.
Flies Subject of Scientific Research
By JERRY KNUDSON
Insecticides, particularly DDT, are becoming less and less useful since the more resistant flies and other insects are surviving through the process of natural selection, eventually creating strains that will be little affected by DDT.
The Army is interested in this project, he added, because flies, mosquitoes, and lice-all disease transmitters—are becoming harder to control in Korea.
This work was begun a year ago under a grant from the Office of

3 New Members Join Math Staff
Three new members have joined the staff of the mathematics department, G. B. Price, chairman, announced today.
John L. Kelley, previously of Tulane university, is a visiting associate professor.
Kennan T. Smith, assistant professor, received the Ph.D. degree at the University of Wisconsin in 1951 and was a Fullbright Fellow to France.
Inus far some 80-100,000 fruit flies (Drosophila) have been bred and used in the project. Mr. Sokal said. This genus is used because of its short life span of 18 days, and the results are equally applicable to the common house fly.
Robert Schatten, associate professor, is at the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton. Prof. Philip Bell received a National Science Foundation post doctoral fellowship and is at the University of California.
William F. Donghue Jr, assistant professor, also received the Ph.D. degree at the University of Wisconsin in 1951 and has since worked at the applied physics laboratory of Johns Hopkins university.
Two members of the mathematics department staff are at present on a year's sabbatical leave, Dr, Price said.
common house by the medium on which the larvae feed is poisoned with DDT, and the results are noted on an evolutionary basis. At present the researchers are working with the 11th generation.
So far in September, the B-26's have destroyed 1,364 Red trucks carrying vital war supplies from the north down to the battle line. Last night's bag was 160 trucks.
This month's total is larger than the combined total for July and August, but is smaller than June's. The steepest destruction claims were made in the final days of 1951 when from 4,000 to 6,000 trucks were knocked out every month.
A spokesman said the 5th Air Force is carefully selecting its crews for the B-26's and giving them intensified training. The upturn in the number of trucks destroyed recently also is due in part to the fact the Reds are putting more trucks on the road.
B-26's Destroy Red Supply Trucks
Between 35,000 and 50,000 insects have been added to the collections of the Snow Entomological museum as the result of a field trip through the Southwestern states this summer headed by Raymond Beamer, professor of entomology.
"We tried to cover as many of the localities as we could to get more materials on this genus," Professor Beamer said.
The purpose of the field trip was to get additional specimens of the Melissodes genus of bees for Wallace La Berge, graduate student, who previously gathered locality information on some of the 130 known species in North America.
"We have established a strain that is three times as resistant to DDT as when we started." Mr. Sokal said,

The group left soon after commencement and returned July 28

Successful candidates will need funds of their own for travel, any incidental expenses not covered by the scholarship, and living expenses until the first payment is made.
Eligibility requirements are U. S. citizenship, sufficient knowledge of Spanish, good academic record, good moral character, broad knowledge of the culture of the United States, and good health.
Applications, on forms to be secured from the U. S. student program of the Institute of International Education at First 67th st. at Fifth ave., New York 21, N. Y., must be bled not later than October 15, 1952.

The researchers are not trying to find a more effective insecticide, Mr. Sokal pointed out, but are attempting to learn how the flies become resistant.
