Cadaver Appears, Sad Faces In Lab
BY SHIRLEY LYON
Cadaver No. 1836 arrived on the campus this week. It will be studied by classes of anatomy just as cadavers have been studied in the first one arrived on the campus 52 years ago.

"Students in beginning anatomy classes quickly adjust to working with the cadavers," Dr. Nicholas Hotton, anatomy instructor said, "but on the first day in lab there are some pretty sad looking faces."
A state law provides that unclaimed bodies are to be sent to the University for study and research purposes. Murder, hanging, exposure, and suicide were responsible for the deaths of many of the first cadavers, records of which go back as far as 1899.
One man, who became a cadaver, met his fate when he tried to board a Santa Fe train illegally. Another was shot while robbing a bank, and many were killed in fights and lynchings.
Cadavers received in more recent times are largely charity and criminal cases from Kansas City and surrounding areas. Few people donate their bodies.
After an unclaimed body is received, it is submerged in a tank of liquid and stored. The cadaver is

The association, a professional group for music educators, will have special session for student members.
Lawrence To Build 107 More Houses
The Lawrence City commission has taken the first step in a move to pave the way for the construction of a new 107-unit housing project.
The commission heard an annexation ordinance which will take in a small tract of land west of Iowa street and north of West 7th street on Highway 40. By doing this the city will have access to the Sunset Hill addition where the Jayhawk Construction company of Topeka hopes to build the housing area.
The company plans to begin work as soon as the city completes annexation and approval is received from the Federal Housing administration.

kept six months to a year in the liquiid before using. The liquid kills all germs, thus insuring safety from contagious diseases for the students who work with the cadavers.
On the average, cadavers are over 55 years in age. This is very unfortunate. Dr. Hotton explains, for students seldom have the chance to study younger specimens.
The anatomy classes, located in Haworth hall, use 60 to 80 cadavers a year. A cadaver stored in the liquid containing water, alcohol, propylene glycol, and phenol will keep indefinitely so there is never a shortage of cadavers for the classes.
Six Buy Plane;
Organize Club
Friday, November 2, 1951
Six persons have purchased an airplane, organized a club, and named themselves the Rut Riders.
Clarence Walker, engineering senior, is president of the group who jointly own a J3 Piper Cub.
Two graduate students, Glenn Hagar and Gene Feaster, Dolores Gifford, College sophomore, Lloyd Hendrix, research assistant and one nonstudent, Zane Cole, are members.
"The object of the club is to provide an economical way to maintain a plane—a thing which the average student couldn't do alone. Another objective of the club is to teach its members to fly," Walker said.
The plane is also used for cross-country flights. Edwin Richardson, engineering junior, is the group's instructor.
The Rut Riders are interested in getting four additional members.
The third speaker in the Sociology on the Air series over KLWN will be Esther E. Twente, professor of social work. She will talk Sunday morning at 9:45 a.m., on the topic "Education for Social Work."
Miss Twente joined the KU faculty in 1937 and became chairman of the department of social work in 1946. Under her guidance, the department, which offers a two year graduate program, has grown to an enrollment of 57.
Miss Twente has had over 15 years experience in social work agencies in New York, St. Louis, and Kansas. Her experiences include direct counseling with children and families and several administrative positions in social work organizations. She received her degree at the University of Missouri and her graduate degree at the University of Chicago.
Medical students and students in occupational therapy, physical education and physical therapy take courses in which cadavers are used in laboratory work. The cadavers are also used for research purposes.
Prof. Twente On KLWN Sunday Morning
General Hershey stressed the importance of all eligible students taking the test, and indicated that those who do not have test score results in their cover sheets may have a "very difficult time indeed" in convincing their local boards that they should be deferred as students.
Students who wish to take the selective draft deferment tests for college students Thursday, Dec. 13, must submit applications to the selective services examining section not later than midnight Monday, Nov. 5.
The new series of tests will be given Thursday, Dec. 13, 1951, and Thursday, April 24, 1952, by the educational testing service of Princeton, N.J., at more than 1,000 different centers throughout the United States and its territories. The blanks may be obtained by the registrant at any local board office, or at the registrar's office, 128 Strong.
To be eligible to apply for the test
Monday Listed As Deadline For College Deferment Test
Sixty-three per cent of the 339-000 students who took the selective service college qualification tests last spring and summer made a score of 70 or better. Major General Lewis B. Hershey, direferor of selective service, reported today. He also reminded college students that the deadline for submitting applications for the Dec. 13 test is approaching.
Pre- addressed envelopes are available at the registrar's office for those who wish to apply.
a student must:
(1) Intend to request deferment as a student; (2) be satisfactorily pursuing a full-time college course; (3) must NOT previously have taken a Selective Service College Qualification Test.
Students whose academic year will end in January 1952, should apply for the Dec. 13 test, so they will have scores in their files when the local boards reconsider their cases in January.
The criteria for deferment as a student is either a satisfactory score (70) on the qualification test or satisfactory rank in class (upper half of the freshman class, upper two thirds of the sophomore class, upper three fourths of the Junior class). Seniors accepted for admission to a graduate school satisfy the criteria if they stand in the upper half of their classes, or make a score of 75 or better on the test. Students already enrolled in graduate schools may be deferred so long as they remain in good standing. These criteria are guides and the local boards are not bound to follow them.
