KU To Debate Cambridge On 'American Way Of Life'
The first International debate with either Oxford or Cambridge since Pearl Harbor will take place between students from Cambridge University and K.U. at Fraser theater at 8 p.m. Friday. April 13.
The first International debate to be held at K.U. was in 1923. Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald's son was on the British team from Cambridge.
The teams will debate the question: Resolved, that this house regrets the American way of life. The British team will take the affirmative, and the KU team the negative.
Representing Cambridge in the debate are Jack Ashley and Ronald Gough Waterhouse. At the age of 22 Ashley was Britain's youngest trade union leader. Also at 22, he became one of the country's youngest Borough councilors when he was elected as independent member of the Widnes town council.
Ashley won the Open Scholarship at Ruskin college, Oxford, in 1946 and gained the Oxford university diploma in economics and political science. He won a University scholarship to Caius college, Cambridge, in 1948
He was elected chairman of the University labor club. He qualified for a bachelor of arts honor degree in economics. He was elected president of the Cambridge Union society.
Waterhouse was a pilot in the Royal Air force during the war, and joined the Royal India Air force after the war's end. He returned
to Cambridge in 1948 to study law. He was awarded the McMahon Studentship in Law and received a B.A. degree in 1950. He is now reading for a Bachelor of laws before taking up a practice as Chancery Barrister in London.
Waterhouse was president of the Cambridge university Liberal club, chairman of the National Union of the University Liberal societies, and a member of the president of the Cambridge Union society.
The two members of the K.U negative team are Keith Wilson, third year law, and Lee Turner, second year law. Wilson was on the University law team that won second place in the national moot court contest in New York in December, 1950.
Turner is president of Delta Sigmaigma Rho, honorary forensic fraternity. He is a member of winning debate team at the Missouri Valley meet at the University of Oklahoma.
Capt. H. Cotten Minchin, British counsel, will act as moderator.
New Means Of Detecting Diseases By Means Of Blood Tests Found By Scientist
New York (U.P.)-Dr. Reuben L Kahn, who developed the now widely-known Kahn test for syphilis, has a new blood test technique that promises to detect the presence of many types of disease.
Dr. Kahn, chief of the serology laboratory University of Michigan, bases his new blood test on what he calls the "universal reaction." It may be used to detect such diseases as syphilis, haws, leprosy, malaria and tuberculosis.
Dr. Kahn tells of his discoveries in a new book entitled "An Introduction to the Universal Serologic Reaction in Health and Disease." It has just been published by the Commonwealth fund, New York City.
While the book is in technical language for the most part, his "universal reaction" may be explained as follows:
1. In a normal, healthy individual there is a daily tissue wear and tear resulting in the death of certain body tissue cells.
2. When the cells are thus destroyed, they break up and release
Fossil Plants Built Kansas Minerals
Fossil plants helped to build both coal and limestones in Kansas, investigations by the State Geological survey at the University have revealed.
Ancient sea weeds extracted mineral matter from the water in which they grew. They caused the deposition of the lime on the sea floor as a result of their growth process.
The limestones thus formed are today sources of building stone, crushed rock, agricultural lime, and cement rock.
Individual colonies of these algae, which represent a very simple form f plant life, range in size from less than a millimeter to several inches in diameter in Kansas Jimestone

their contents into body fluids, including the blood stream.
3. Certain fat-like substances called "lipids" are part of the released cell contents.
4. Some of the "lipids" become foreign to the body tissues and call forth the production of antibodies, presumably to neutralize or destroy the lipids.
5. Presence of the anti-bodies is measured by the so-called "universal action" technique.

Wilbur Won't Be A Good Soldier If He Has To Get Up Too Early
FIRST NATIONAL BANK
TRAVEL AGENCY
Washington (U.P.)-Wilbur just doesn't like to get up early in the morning, and his mother is afraid army life will be hard on him after he is drafted.
Furthermore, she thinks Wilbur might not even be able to stand it if daylight saving time is put into effect and he has to get up an hour earlier. So she has appealed to "General Hershy, Draft Dpt. Head" for help.
Her letter, received at selective service headquarters, explained that Wilbur is being drafted. He is a good boy, his mother said, "but never could stand to get up early in the mornings and I no they make them get up awfully early in the army."

"... and it will be even a hour earlier if they have daylight savin that he will have to get up in the mornings," she wrote.
