STUDENT NEWS PAPER
Scientist To Talk Tuesday Night On Heart Beats
Dr. Bradley M. Patten, professor of anatomy at the University of Michigan will address Sigma Xi, national honorary society for scientific research, at 8 p. m. Tuesday in the lecture room of Lindley hall. His topic will be "The First Heart Beats and the Beginning of the Embryonic Circulation."
For a number of years Dr. Patten and his associates, Dr. Theodore C Kramer and Dr. Alexander Barry, have been studying the development of the heart, especially its first movements. Dr. Patten's lecture will include some of the less technical material acquired through his study.
The lecturer will use lantern slides explain the normal development of the heart and moving pictures to show the changes in the types of movements in the heart. He will show how the circulation is constantly maintained in the living body while changes are taking place in the heart, transforming it from a simple tube into the adult four-chambered heart.
Dr. Patten is the national circuit speaker for Sigma Xi. He has served as assistant director for the medical sciences in the Rockefeller foundation and is now serving as embryological consultant to Dr. Jesse Edwards at the Mayo Clinic. Author of three books on embryology, Dr. Patten is preparing sections for a reference book on the pathology of the heart.
The formation of the primitive blood cells outside the heart and their development and entrance into the blood stream will be shown.
The public is invited to attend the lecture.
YM To Give Variety Show
A new variety show, the "Y Orpheum," will be sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. All organized houses and other campus organizations may take part, Robert Davis, Y.M.C.A. president, announced at the Presidents' breakfast Oct. 15.
Eight skits, four from women's houses, and four from men's houses, will be presented. The 14-minute skits about college life may be satirical, or serious. An engraved, silver cup and other awards will be given for the winning skits.
"The Y-Orpheum' has been produced successfully at other universities and there is no reason why we can't have it here," said Davis. The show will be an annual project for the Y.M.C.A. Davis stressed the necessity for co-operation and support by each organization.
The Presidents' breakfast, sponsored by Student Union activities, will meet the first Saturday of each month. The next meeting is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 5. Anyone interested in working with the Y.M.C.A. committee on the "Y Orpheum" should apply at the Y.M.C.A. office.

Works Of Poe Will Be Read
The centennial of the death of Edgar Allan Poe will be observed by readings from his works at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Museum of Art, Dr. John Maxon, director of the museum, said today.
M. D. Clubb, chairman of the department of English, and W. D. Paden, associate professor of English, will read passages from Poe's poetry and short stories.
The program is open to the public.
Lane To Speak At Convocation
Mr. Lane, who spent about 15 years in central Europe, will speak on "The Conflict Between Tito and Stalin." He was minister to Yugoslavia from 1937 through 1941.
Arthur Bliss Lane, former U.S. ambassador to Poland and career diplomat, will speak at a convocation Monday, November 14, in Hoch auditorium.
He resigned the ambassadorship to Poland in 1947 so that he might write and speak openly without restrictions as to diplomatic convention. A specific assignment was to report on the Polish elections, which both the Yalta and Potsdam decisions stipulated should be "free and unfettered."
Immediately after the elections he requested recall from Warsaw. His letter of resignation to President Truman stated that the elections were far from "free and unfettered," the existing Polish government was charged with cynical disregard of international obligations, and the entire proceeding he called "a farce."
Through long service as a career diplomat, Mr. Lane developed numerous sources of information about European affairs. As a lecturer and writer the past two years, he has continued to draw upon those sources for up-to-date reports.
