Hob-Nail Hop To Be Saturday
The annual Hob-Nail Hop, semi-formal dance sponsored by the Student Engineering council, will be at 9 p.m. Saturday in the Military Science building.
The dance will honor St. Patrick, patron saint of engineers. Gene Hall's dance orchestra will provide the music.
A Hob-Nail queen will be selected from 10 candidates nominated by engineering students. She will be presented at intermission time.
Tickets for the dance are $1.50 and may be purchased at the door.

Government Aids In Research For Study Of DiseaseOf Lungs
Until recent years medical science was baffled by a disease which it considered to be tuberculosis. Its symptoms were the same and it left the same spots on the lungs.
The peculiar thing about this fungus disease, known as histoplasmosis, was the fact that most of its victims were found in the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio river valleys.
"This is one problem in which we hope to find negative results," Dwight F. Metzler, assistant professor of sanitary engineering at the University, said of this current research.
Now it is thought that the disease might be carried to humans through their water supply. Those investigating this possibility, however, hope that it isn't.
Metzler, chief engineer of the Kansas State Board of Health, is directing the study made possible by a grant of $4,100 from the United States Public Health service.
The reason for turning to a study of water supplies as a source of the transmission of histoplasmosis was the fact that the disease occurred in areas where water was obtained from surface supplies.
According to Metzler, the appropriateness of studying this problem in this locality is based on surveys showing a high prevalence of positive histoplasmin reactors in the eastern part of the United States and a variation in Kansas from 80 per cent in the east to one per cent in the west. These variations parallel the number of streams existing and

used as water supplies in Kansas, he said.
YOU HAVE A DATE
The chief objective of this research, then, is to gather data that will suggest or disprove what relationship, if any, exists between water supplies and the transmission of histoplasmosis.
Bell Aircraft representatives will be here to discuss with you the engineering opportunities in all fields now available with this leading pioneer in the challenging fields of GUIDED MISSILES, SUPERSONIC AIRCRAFT, ROCKET MOTORS and AIRBORNE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT. Long range diversified programs make these openings more appealing than ever before. Don't miss this opportunity.
MARCH 17 & 18
This will be studied by experiments using cultures of histoplasma in sterilized tap water to see what happens to the fungus in water and how it is affected by the water treatment processes.

"In our study we are interested
in determining how much chlorine is needed to produce a 100 per cent kill of the germ," Metzler said. "At the rate at which chlorine is now used, the germ is not killed."

He pointed out that another objective is to find out how great a depth of sand is required in a filter to remove the capsulatum spare, which is the source of the germ.
