Physicist Compares Cancer And Politics
A striking likeness between the growth of cancer cells and political phenomena was cited by Dr. Gordon Wiseman, assistant professor of physics, when he spoke to members of Sigma Pi Sigma, physics honor society, Thursday, Jan. 11.
Both lose the power to be governed by the entire organism, the cell or society, and therefore, proceed to grow wild, he said.
With the aid of slides and formulae, Dr. Wiseman explained the ultra microspectrophotometer, one of the newest instruments used in the field of cancer research today.
The purpose of the machine is to project ultraviolet light through cells to determine the relative concentration of nucleic acids in the cells. Nucleic acids are believed to be connected with the reproductive characteristics of cancer cells.
Dr. Wiseman, Leland Bohl, graduate student in physics at the University of Minnesota, and Dr. Robert E. Stowell, chairman of the department of oncology, have assembled an ultramicrospectrophotometer for the use of the Hixon laboratory of the University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas. The machine work on the instrument was done at Fowler hops.

Seven Departments Offer New City Planning Course
A course in Problems of City Planning is now being set up in the department of architecture and awaiting approval of the Board of Regents as a fully authorized course of study.
Unlike most of the courses at the University, this course is being promoted through the collaboration of seven departments of the various schools, and not by one school alone.
"This is probably the first time in the history of the University that an inter-department course has been conducted," said Prof. George M. Beal, chairman of the department of architecture.
The course is a study of objectives, methods, and techniques of city planning with original investigation and projection of proposed solutions. It will be set up at a graduate level and taught through the exchange of factual information by representatives of the departments collaborating in the program.
A group meeting of members of these departments was held Friday, Jan. 12 to organize the course but still after enrollment a definite plan of action cannot be determined.
At present, seven departments are participating in the program which has been carried on this semester on a volunteer basis by the students and faculty. The departments participating in the program are: architecture, business and economics, geography, political science, sanitary engineering, social work, and sociology.
The mayor of Olathe has invited the members of the planning problems classes to make a general survey of the city, and has set aside $300 to help detray travel expenses. "The course has been conducted on a volunteer basis this semester, but we hope to have it fully accredited by next fall," Professor Beal said. The course will be for two hours credit.
