KU Polio Contributions Total $430
Contributions to the University polio drive today totaled $430, slightly less than the entire total in previous years.
M. C. Slough, associate professor and chairman of the drive, believes many people have forgotten to send in their contributions.
The drive, which began Jan. 16,
includes faculty members and university employees. Students are not
asked to contribute to the fund if they donated to the Campus Chest last semester.
Cash or checks should be sent to 204 Green hall. Mr. Slough asks that contributors make all checks payable to the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis. The deadline for the drive is Tuesday, Feb. 12.
Only one-eighth of the persons solicited have given money to the fund, he said. It is distressing that so few people have contributed to the fund since the coming summer may be a critical polio season in Douglas county, he added.
Health records show that seasons of severe polio epidemics tend to run in three-year cycles.
Two of the worst years were 1946 and 1949. Although it is a prediction only, 1952 will be a critical year also if the epidemic cycles continue, Mr. Slough said.

The cost of treatment for polio victims varies with the individuals but one case in Lawrence cost $2,500 last year and some cases cost as much as $10,000.

English Comedy To Open Feb. 27
"The Lady's Not for Burning," a new comedy by Christopher Fry, will be presented Feb. 27, 28, 29, and March 1, in Fraser theater.
The play is the third major dramatic production of the year and will be directed by Tom Rea, instructor in speech.
Harold Harvey, instructor in speech, has designed and built a miniature model of the set to serve as a guide while the cast practices in Green hall. The group has been unable to use Fraser theater for practice because "The Bartered Bride" has been in production there.
John Gielgud produced "The Lady's Not for Burning" in London and brought his company to New York in 1950. It is the only professional company to do the play in the United States. The play was first released for amateur production last month.
However, once the soldier sees the young and beguiling witch, he is willing to be cleared of the murder charge.
The story concerns a discharged soldier, bitter with the world, who wanders upon a town to find it conducting a witch hunt. In an effort to divert attention from the unknown "witch" to himself, he bellows that he has committed murder and insists that he be hanged.
Museum Mails Science Papers
While the political world remains split into East and West the scientific world has retained a degree of its international co-operation.
An example of this co-operation was demonstrated this weekend when the Museum of Natural History sent over 4,000 copies of scientific papers to all parts of the world.
In return for these publications the University receives all of the scientific papers that are issued by the nearly 500 schools or scientists on its exchange lists.
Among the papers sent was a 466-page study of weasles made by Professor Hall.
Prof. E. R. Hall, director of the museum, said this is part of an exchange program in which scientific information is exchanged among specialists of similar interests. By this means the scientists keep abreast of the research going on in other places. The papers sent out concerned reptiles, mammals, birds and vertebrate paleontology.
Resulting from research by faculty and advanced students, the papers comprised 28 separate publications or reprints and filled over 20 mail sacks.
Addresses included all of the 48 states and most of the major countries of the world. Among the addresses were Peiping, China; Calcutta, India; Berlin, Germany; Basel, Switzerland, and Buenos Aires, Argentina.

KU Among Losers When Ship Sinks
University orders for German-made drawing instruments and a Leitz enlarger are believed to have gone down with the Flying Enterprises Co. Henrich Carlsen fought to save from the North Atlantic seas.
L. E. Woolley, director of the Student Union, said that the drawing instruments were being sent to the department store and that the order was insured.
The Leitz enlarger, to be used by the school of journalism, was ordered through the Mosser-Wolf camera supply store in Lawrence.
Russell Mosser, part owner, said today that the enlarger has been delayed for some reason and he has been informed the sinking of the Enterprise is probably the cause.
