The mid-semester advising period for freshmen and sophomores in the College will be held Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Lower Classmen To See Advisors
Reports of unsatisfactory work will be mailed to the homes of freshman and sophomore students at the end of the advising period.
Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College, said the names of the students will be posted on the bulletin board outside of the College office in Strong hall, along with their advisors' names, office hours, and location of their offices.
If a student's class schedule conflicts with the advisor's office hours, he should contact his advisor and make a separate appointment.
"Organized groups who desire reports on the work of their freshmen and sophomores who are in the College should get grades from the students' advisors, rather than the individual instructors." said Mr. Ulmer.
If organized groups desire the grades of members who are upper classmen in the College, they are asked to bring an alphabetized list of those members to the College office. The mid-semester grades will be filled in and the list will be returned to the organization.
Thesis, Ph.D. Oral, Marriage Are All In A Week's Work
Presenting a doctor's thesis on Monday, passing a Ph.D. oral examination Wednesday, getting married Saturday, and sailing for the U.S.A. four days later is the experience of a Swiss scientist now doing research at the University.
Dr. Paul Kurath came to the University on a post-doctoral fellowship to do research work under Dr. Joseph Burckhalter, professor of pharmaceutical chemistry.
Dr. Kurath studied at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, and did partial cortisone synthesis research. At KU he will do total synthesis research.
Dr. Kurath received his training under Dr. Leopold Ruzicka, a cowinner of the Nobel prize in chemistry in 1939.
In partial research, the study begins with such natural products as plant and animal materials. In total synthesis, research begins with such materials as coal tar, Dr. Kurath explained.
Cortisone, one of medicine's new wonder drugs, is now an expensive product. By synthesizing compounds that have cortisone activity, scientists hope to produce the equivalent of cortisone in an inexpensive form.
Dr. Kurath noted one major difference between research in the United States and Switzerland.
"In America we get much more assistance on our research projects. In Switzerland we rarely conversed with the director of our research. Only the assistants to the director helped us," he said.
The November Sour Owl, which will go on sale Wednesday, will carry the results of the magazine's recent survey of student opinion.
Poll Results In Sour Owl
"The survey showed, strangely enough, that students want humor in a humor magazine." Lee Shepeard, editor, said. This issue has been changed to "include more cartoons and jokes than any previous issue, he said.
Charles Scanlan, who distributed the questionnaires, said. "We got some surprising results. Only 25 per cent of the men questioned wanted 'unprintable humor,' but 75 per cent of the freshmen girls wanted it."
Questionnaires were distributed to 1500 students to determine what they wanted in a campus humor magazine.
Convicts Out-Talk Students
This issue features a cover cartoon by Paul Coker, who was graduated from KU in June and is now in the Navy, and an 8-page parody section, "Lurid Passions."
Norfolk, Mass. —(U.P.)— Debaters of Williams college came to the Norfolk prison colony auditorium to argue with inmates on the question: "Should mercy killing be legalized?" The smooth-talking convicts convinced the judges that mercy killers should be sent to jail.
Ruth L. Packard, Rocky mountain regional director of National Student YWCA, will visit the campus Wednesday and Thursday to interview women students interested in YWCA professional work.
Miss Packard will consult with chairmen of the guidance bureau, social work and physical education departments, and will visit the following classes: 9 a.m. Wednesday, Personal and community health; 10 a.m. Physical examination and prescription for exercise; and 10 a.m. Thursday, graduate social work.
Y W Director
To Visit KU
Those interested in professional work should call KU 369 for an appointment with Miss Packard.
Miss Packard received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Morningside college and her Master of Arts degree from the University of Chicago. She has also done graduate work at Columbia university and the New York School of Social Work.
She spent six years as advisory secretary for adult activities in China from 1938 to 1944. During that time Miss Packard did extensive travel and work in nine cities in China.
Roy Toulouse, education senior; who is promoting the drive both on the campus and in the county, said that almost 2,000 signatures already have been obtained. About 800 of these are University students and the remainder were Douglas county residents.
Thursday Deadline For 'Ike' Club
The KU and Douglas county Eisenhower- for_ President committee has set up a faculty, as the deadline for signing the rolls, a charter member of the local club.
Conducting the campaign in the organized houses is Warren Andreas, first year law student from Abilene, General Eisenhower's home town. Thus far he has obtained about 300 signatures after visiting about half the fraternities.
Mail subscription: $ a semester, $4.50 a year. (In Lawrence add $1.00 a semester postage). Published in Lawrence, Kans every afternoon during the University year except Saturdays and Sundays. University postmaster added. Entered as second class matter Sept. 17 1910, at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kans., under act of March 3, 1879.
The campaign is moving slower than was anticipated because of a lack of canvassers.

KU women lose more things than men, according to the Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity lost and found check.
Everyone Welcome
Lost And Found Finds Women Losing More
KU's chapter of Alpha Phi Omega,
a national fraternity, maintains a lost and found service on the second floor of the Union. The office is open every day from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Unidentified articles are tagged with a file number, a notation of where they were found and the date found. All lost items are kept for two semesters and then sold at Alpha Phi Omega's annual rummage sale.
Twice a week members make the rounds of each building and collect all lost articles which have been turned in to the various offices. These items are checked for identification and if any is found, a card is sent to the owner requesting him to pick up his belongings.
A look into the office filing cabins indicate that a KU student and his mittens are soon parted. More gloves and mittens are recovered than any other item of wearing apparel says Ralph Thurston Smith, fraternity president. One shelf is already lined with them and additional space will have to be found before the end of winter.
Most of the lost articles are found during the winter months, Smith says. Students would save themselves a lot of trouble and money, he believes, if they would take a few minutes and sew name tapes on their coats. Members who work in the office are careful to do this.
Students don't always lose such conventional articles, Smith said, pointing to a shelf containing a throw rug, a sand bucket and a doll. He is also waiting for someone to claim a small item which bears suspicious resemblance to a shot glass.
A $20 contribution from the Ku-
Ku's boosted the Campus Chest total to
$819.03 Nov. 8.
Gamma Phi Beta was the first sorority to have a meatless dinner as authorized by the Panhellenic council. The vegetarian meal Wednesday netted the Campus Chest $15.
Loy Kirkpatrick, chairman of the drive, said the KuKu's gift was the second donation by a campus group. The Student Religious Council previously gave $10.
Ku Ku's Give $20 To Boost Drive
Kirkpatrick asked that all solicitors turn in their collections to the University Business office early this week.
To facilitate the return of lost items, a new service is soon to be started by the fraternity. Students who have lost something on the campus may fill out a card in the office and each week the men will check it with the lost goods collected. If the article turns up the loser will be notified.
Members of Alpha Phi Omega are former boy scouts. They meet weekly. Maintenance of the lost and found service is their chief project. Any University student who was formerly a boy scout is eligible for membership.
Dr. Homer W. Smith, professor of physiology, New York University, College of Medicine, will give the lecture. He will speak on "The Development of Modern Renal Physiology."
Talk To Honor Dr. Sherwood
The 15th annual Dr. Noble*P, Sherwood lecture, which will be presented at 8 p.m. today in Lindley hall, will honor the only Fellow of American College of Physicians in Lawrence.
Dr. Sherwood is the author of "Laboratory Manual of Bacteriology" and "Immunology," both University text books. He is a member of several scientific organizations and is listed in several volumes of "Who's Who."
Dr. Sherwood, professor of bacteriology, the Fellow to be honored, was chairman of the bacteriology department at the University for many years.
He has been a consultant on the state board of health for many years and has been chairman of the Kanasa state board of health laboratory advisory commission since its origin.
