Rolfs Demonstrates Math Functions
Hugo A. Rolfs, assistant instructor in mathematics explained "two treatments of the logarithm and exponential functions" at the mathematics colloquium Monday.
After defining the logarithmic function of an integral he proved its important properties. He showed its inverse to be the exponential function and proved several properties of the exponential function.
Mr. Rolfs then proceeded to define the same two functions in an entirely different manner. He defined the exponential function by an infinite series. The logarithmic function was shown to be its inverse.

Chiggers Bother You? Use Dimethyl Phthalate
By MARILYN MARKS
Chigger victims of the world, unite—your summer-long scratching soon may be just a memory.
An entirely reliable preventative against the tiny red mites is to dip clothing in a five per cent water emulsion of dimethyl phthalate or benzyl benzobaze, said Dr. Charles Michener, associate professor of entomology Clothing so treated will kill chiggers that walk on it until it is washed, he added. plain, "it is研研"
"A quicker, but less effective way, is to treat socks and lower parts of trousers with the same solution. This can be applied lightly, with a spray gun." Dr. Michener instructed.
A popular misconception about chiggers is that they burrow into the skin. "Not so," said Dr. Michelen, who made a study of chiggers as part of an Army research project in Panama. "Although they're very small, they are too large to enter a pore, and they do not have mouthparts enabling them to burrow," he explained.
"The young six-legged chiggers are the ones that bite. After attaching to birds, men, or snakes and lizards, which they approach just as readily as warm-blooded animals, the chigger changes to an eight-legged stage. At this point, they become harmless and are incapable of biting. Their food then is the eggs of small soil insects," Dr. Michener added.
When a chigger bites, it does not suck blood like a mosquito, but ejects a substance which dissolves some of the skin. It then sups up the dissolved skin. The University's chigger specialist went on to explain, "it is probably because of this real damage to the skin that the bite itches for so long—on some people for a month.
"Since the young chigger is so small, so easily scratched off before you notice it, and since the bites keep itching for so long, it's easy to see how the idea arose that they must have burrowed into the skin," said Dave Whiteman. However if it wasn't scratched off, however, the chigger will drop off, after sipping dissolved skin, in a few days or a week."
For lawns or gardens, a spray of benzene hexachloride, three pounds for a lawn 25 by 50 feet, is recommended. In other parts of the country, this spray has controlled chiggers for several weeks and sometimes months.
Procuring a "big name" band for an all student dance next fall was one of the projects discussed by the Ku Ku club recently. This dance would be given in conjunction with the Jay James and K-club organizations.

Berlin, May 10—(U.P.)—Russian authorities began lifting the Berlin blockade 40 hours before the deadline today when they restored electric power to parts of the Western sectors.
Russia Restores Electric Power To West Berlin
The Soviet action gave American sector housewives unrationed electricity in the middle of the morning for the first time since power rationing was forced upon Western Berlin by the Soviet blockade last July 9.
Radios played and electric stoves glowed as the power flow into American sector lines from the Soviet sector. All of Berlin's major power generating stations are in the Soviet sector.
German electric power authorities said the restoration of electricity to the Western sectors would take place gradually. Full service will not be effected until some time Thursday, they said.
At 12:01 a.m. Thursday (4:01 p.m.
C.S.T. Wednesday) the first of 16
allied trains a day will begin to roll
into Berlin for the first time since
the Russians cut off all surface transport
运输 11 months ago.
The 16 trains will supply the Western sectors with about 10,000 tons a day, somewhat less than the Anglo-American airlift achieved at its highest point.
All freight and passengers on the trains will be passed without restriction. The Russians still will retain the privilege of licensing freight shipments going westward out of Berlin.
Twila Wagner Has Carefree Precision
"Rush Hour in Hongkong" (Chasins), a novelty piece, delighted those attending Twila Wagner's senior piano recital Monday evening.
Bv ANN ALLEN
This clever /piece is fast, with oriental motifs throughout. The title gives an excellent description of the selection. Miss Wagner was at her best in the light music. She played "Rush Hour in Hongkong" with carefree precision and ringing tone.
"Concerto in A major, K. 488"
(Mozart) was excellent. The running passages were clearly presented. In "Etude in D flat" (Liszt) the thoughtful mood was emphasized by careful interpretation.
The program was light, and well chosen for Miss Wagner's abilities. She has a heavy, almost striking touch. Her tone was consistently deep and full. She does not have a "flashy" style, but her technique is controlled and commands attention.
Crafton's Comedy Begins Tonight
Where will the Kansas bootlegger be next fall? Will creme de menthe send you high? Has the total temperance league gone underground?
These and other social questions will be brought to light by Mrs. Frances Feist, instructor in speech, as she plays the lead role of Virginia Meunsey in Jessica and Allen Crafton's new comedy, "The Strength of Ten."
The play about Kansas repeal will be presented at 8 p.m. today, tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday in Fraser theater. Activity book tickets may be exchanged for reserve seats at the ticket office in the basement of Green hall.
"The play being put on here couldn't be more timely since the repeal act was just passed," said Jim Hawine, fine arts junior, who attended the "Strength of Ten" dress rehearsal Monday night. "The writing of the play is very distinctive and is not weighted down with messages. The cast is well chosen and everyone seems to fit his part perfectly."
The cast of "The Strength of Ten" are Harriet—Bea Brady, education junior; Emery Zimmerman—Dan Palmquist, instructor in speech; Clyta Jane Bogue—Jeanne Hardy, graduate student; and Grace Owens—Darlene Van Bibber, graduate student.
Maxine Owens - Patricia Lynch,

Rea, College junior; Clifford Yeager
-Herk Harvey, instructor in speech;
