Industrial Conference To Visit Local Plant Sites
The University Extension service will be host Friday, Oct. 13, to the Regional Industrial Development conference. The conference will be held at 10 a.m. in the Union building and is sponsored by the Kansas State Chamber of Commerce and the Kansas Industrial commission.
Three such conferences are held over the state, one here in Lawrence, one in Wichita, and one in Salina. Prof. Frank T. Stockton, dean of the University Extension will preside. Dean Stockton is chairman of the industrial committee of the State Chamber of Commerce.
The delegates will visit the site of the new West-Vaco chemical plant in North Lawrence. In addition to looking over the new plant site the group will investigate a tract of land set aside by Lawrence businessmen for use as industrial sites. This location is just outside of the city limits across the Santa Fe railroad tracks on U.S. highway No. 10.
The idea behind the conference is to study which sites are suitable and which ones aren't, Dean Stockton said.
Thirty specimens of chipmunks have been brought to the University Museum of Natural History by Johnn a White, graduate student in zoology.
Chipmunk Species Brought To KU
Besides collecting two species of chipmunks in the Uunta mountains near Paradise Lake, Utah, Mr. White collected about 30 specimens of conies, jumping mice, and red backed mice.
A thesis Mr. White is writing includes a study of two species of chipmunks which live in pine forests at an altitude of 10,000 feet. Both kinds have brown and orange stripes. One species is about eight inches in length and the other one to two inches longer, with a longer tail.
Dr. Rollin Baker, assistant professor of zoology and acting director of the Museum of Natural History, said these specimens are the first of their species to be brought to the museum.

STRUBY'S IN THE SPOTLIGHT SINCE HE STARTED USING VITALIS!
The gals just can't get close enough — if you use your head—and "Live-Action" Vitalis care. Wake up that mop on top with that famous "60-Second Workout." 50 seconds' scalp massage (feel the difference!) .10 seconds to comb (and will the gals see the difference!) . . . You'll look neat and natural. Bye-bye loose, flaky dandruff and dryness, too. So get close to Vitalis—get it at any drug store or barber shop.
A PRODUCT OF BRISTOL-MYERS
The study, "Planning the Utilization of University Activities for Emergency Operations," was started the past spring and did not originate with the Korean war, said Arthur Inman, research engineer with the foundation.
KU's Part In Emergency Is Being Studied
An inventory of the University's facilities for wartime employment is being taken by the Research foundation.
The present plan is being prepared so that it can be used in any major emergency with main emphasis on aid to the armed forces, other government agencies, and industry in the fields of training and scientific endeavor.
Each teaching department is now being surveyed regarding enrollment, staff and faculty load, training programs conducted, and future possibilities. Mr. Inman said a review is being made of how various government agencies used University facilities during the last war and what the plans of these agencies are in case of another emergency.
University personnel is being studied individually, with each staff member being classified as to possibility of being called into the armed forces or other government service, his professional work, and special avocations.
By keeping the inventory up to date and by close liaison with the armed forces and government agencies, the University expects to have a plan for maximum contributions in any emergency.
