Seventy-six principals of Kansas High schools have been invited to participate in the third annual Principal-Freshman day to be held at the University Thursday, Dec. 6.
James K. Hitt, registrar, said that in the past two years the principals have given advice which has been of great value to the administration in improving its program of orientation and instruction.
76 Bids Go To Principals
The purpose of the conference is to allow each visiting principal to have private conferences with his graduates now attending the University.
At the same time, with more than a half semester of college work completed, the freshmen have been able to offer constructive suggestions to their principals regarding high school work which prepares the student for college.
Mr. Hitt explained that freshmen tend to be far more frank in talks with their former principals than they would be with the KU administrator.

Dr. Byron T. Eberle, a member of the 1950 KU medical class, has begun a study of alterations in circulatory dynamics caused by atherosclerosis in animals. This condition resembles that found in many humans who suffer from hardening of the arteries.
Robert L. Robinson, graduate student from Chanute, is starting research on hypertension, or high blood pressure, in animals.
It is hoped that Dr Eberle's work will throw light on what happens to the human circulatory system affected by hardening of the arteries.
WINTER CHEVROLET
Research will be continued in the factors influencing arterial blood pressure and blood flow in normal animals under various physiological conditions. An electromagnetic flowmeter and an electronic pressure measuring instrument have been developed by KU physiologists for this work.
"These studies are contributing to our knowledge of the behavior of the normal circulatory system and of the dynamic effects of a number of important drugs." Dr. Jochim, professor of physiology, said.

Also being continued is the construction of complex electrical networks representing the system of arteries in the body. These networks are fed with pulses of electricity, just as the heart pumps pulses of blood through the body. The voltage is analogous to blood pressure and the current flow analogous to blood flow in the body.
The behavior of these networks is being studied experimentally and analyzed mathematically to throw light on fundamental factors determining circulatory behavior.
