Dyche's Fluorescent Minerals Make Colorful Display
Fluorescent minerals which light up into varied colors are on display in the basement of Dyche hall.
Those minerals in an ordinary $ \circled{R} $
These minerals, in an ordinary light, are common gray, black or brown colors. Application of an ultra-violet light transforms them into lavender, purple, green, yellow and blue shades.
The principle of this color change is that when certain wave lengths hit certain minerals, it causes the minerals to give off wave lengths of a color different from their normal color in sunlight.
On display in Dyche are minerals set on a black velvet background. Included are curtisite, transforming into green and lavender; scapolite, yellow and brown; fluorite, blue; calcite, lavender; and willemite, green and purple.
The collection is from California, Quebec, England, Lake Superior region, New Jersey, Africa, Sicily, Nevada, Ohio, North Carolina and Utah.
This color property is used in identifying various minerals and also makes a pretty display. Another practical value of this fluorescence is its use in finding minerals.
Scheelite, principal ore of tungsten, is found by the fluorescent identification. Prospectors, looking for scheelite, walk around with a portable fluorescent light and when they find the scheelite color, they know they have tungsten available. The principle is also used in prospecting for iron ore.
The same chemical compounds
occurring naturally in these minerals can be produced artificially. These artificial chemicals are used in fluorescent lighting pigments.
Mrs. Luella M. Foster, director of the nursery, said that the idea of the conferences is to bring together people working with pre-school children and to share experiences with each other. Meetings are in the form of workshops.
45 Attend Child Conference
Forty-five persons attended the first of four child conferences at the University Nurserv Saturday.
Two and three-year old youngsters were discussed in the morning. Two films "The Terrible Two's" and "The Trusting Three's." were shown.
During the afternoon session a study was made of the use of music for pre-school children.
Mrs. Foster explained that the idea for the conferences was originated by the Lawrence Pre-school association. Other sponsors are the Kansas state board of health, the state department of social welfare, the University Extension, and the KU department of home economics.
Parking Permits Will Expire Jan. 30; Need New Tags For Spring Semester
Senior Wins Jingle Prize
Back in October he let his wife talk him into writing several contest intings.
The Lucky Strike advertisement in Thursday's Kansan featured a jingle written by Seward Shukers, engineering senior.
His wife read them, thought they were good enough to send in and then she, too, forgot about them.
It took about 20 minutes for him to knock out four or five, but he didn't think any of them were any good and forgot about them.
Recently Shukers got a special delivery letter telling him the advertising agency had accepted the jingle he had written and the Shukers were $25 richer.

WINS MEDAL . . . the marine corps has announced the award of the congressional medal to Sgt. James Johnson, Pocatello, Idaho, missing in action in Korea. He engaged the enemy in hand-to-hand combat so platoon could escape.
Six hundred forty pints were donated by the three ROTC units. The Air Force cadets donated 353 pints. Navy midshipmen gave 203 pints and Army ROTC men contributed 84 pints. The rest was donated by various fraternity groups.
Bloodmobile Project Director Lt.
Col. Bayard Atwood said today that he was quite pleased with this first attempt.
"Since most quotas are not reached during the first visit of the bloodmobile," Colonel Atwood said, "this indicates a pretty good reaction."
The colonel said he was especially pleased with the turnout of many fraternity groups as well as of the ROTC units.
Praise was given to the bloodmobile team from Kansas City and to volunteer workers.
"Many of them worked through lunch hours and overtime," Colonel Atwood said. "Their only concern was to get the blood and get it shipped."
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of Watkins hospital, said that the tentative dates of March 24 and 25 have been set for the next visit of the bloodmobile. But this may be postponed until after Easter.
All of the blood collected by the bloodmobile will be flown directly to Korea. Fresh blood will be flown out of Kansas City every day.

News Roundup
Plane Crash NY River; All Aboard Believed Saved
New York—(U.P.)—A Northeast airlines Convair plane with 36 persons on board undershot a runway at La Guardia airport today and came down in the East river, but all passengers and crew were believed rescued.
The plane missed the field, plowed into the river about midway between College Point and Rikers island. The Convair transport did not sink.
The crew of the tug Bill Endter witnessed the crash and raced their boat to the scene and picked up 25 persons immediately. Four Coast Guard crash boats and two helicopters joined the tug within minutes.
GOP Women Out To Save 'Their Party'
San Francisco—(U.P.)—Mrs. Joseph R. Farrington, president of the National Federation of Women's Republican Clubs, said today that the GOP "has always had the capacity to win but we have not always exercised it—we have merely planned to use it."
"But in this campaign of 1952, Republican women are determined that actions shall speak louder than words," Mrs. Farrington said as she opened a meeting of the federation's advisory board.
"The history of the world shows that when our civilization has reached a great moral crisis, it has been the women who have risen to meet the issues," she said. "Our country faces such a crisis today."
Women, she said, should inform themselves about politics and national affairs.
Paris—(U.P.)—The Big Three Western powers decided today to ask the United Nations to refer Russia's surprise new atomic proposals to the new 12-power disarmament commission.
The decision was taken by U.S. Delegate Ernest A. Gross, British Minister of State Selwyn Lloyd and French Delegate Jean Chauvel at a meeting in the British delegation's offices.
The Soviet proposals, introduced by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky in the General assembly Saturday, bowed to two Western demands for control of atomic energy.

Truce Talks Marred By 'Lying' Charge
Pammunjom, Korea—U.(P.)—The Communists almost broke up the Korean armistice negotiations today with a charge that the United Nations command was lying.
"As a representative of the UN command, I shall not sit here and listen to unfounded charges that the UN command is making a deceitful proposal and lying," Rear Admiral R. E. Libby angry told the Reds.
He denied the Communist charge, demanded an apology and finally proposed a recess until 11 a.m. Tuesday.
"You can't intimidate us," retorted North Korean Maj. Gen, Lee Sang Cho. But he agreed to the recess.
Ottawa, Ont.—(U.P.)—The United States, Great Britain and Canada have agreed on the terms of a barter deal involving American steel, Canadian aluminum and Malayan tin, sources here said today.
Three Nations Agree On 'Barter' Deal
The deal resulted from the conferences last week between Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Truman in Washington.
Economists Say Prosperity To Continue
Paris—(U.P.)—Five of the world's leading economists predict continuing prosperity will be "the rule rather than the exception," with the United States providing the key.
A report to the United Nations by Prof. James W. Angell of Columbia university and four other international experts said:
"We believe that large-scale world depression will be avoided, and that, for the foreseeable future, there will be an upward movement in production of all kinds throughout the world, interrupted only by relatively minor setbacks. . ."
However, the report warned that "any substantial or sudden cut back in rearmament would clearly involve a serious risk of recession, and even a levelling off of the program would mean a drop in the secondary defense demands for inventories, plant and equipment."
Scientists Again Seeking 'Cold Bug'
Washington—(U.P.)—Scientists who "lost" the cold bug a while ago are getting ready to look for it again.
The U.S. Public Health service is undertaking a new $50,000-a year project in an effort to track down the cause of the common cold
One of the most baffling of all medical problems, the cold is responsible for one-third of the lost work days in this country. Despite years of research, nobody knows what causes a cold or how to cure it.
CIO Workers Want Aid For Union Idle
Washington—(U.P.)Some 600 delegates of the CIO United Auto Workers converged on the capitol today to seek congressional action to relieve spreading unemployment in Detroit, Michigan, and other industrial areas.
The union representatives scheduled personal visits to their congressmen to urge passage of a bill to grant extra federal unemployment pay to workers laid off as a result of the defense program
More than half of the delegates came from Michigan, where an estimated 170,000 workers—including 125,000 in the Detroit area have been laid off as a result of cutbacks in automobile production.
