Japanese Hen Lays Atomic Eggs
Nagasaki, Feb. 23.—(U.P.) Eggs that aren't egg-shaped may be results of atomic warfare unless a local hen is playing tricks on residents of this atom-bombed Kyushu city. Dr. Taclushu Nagai of Nagasaki Medical college is investigating latent effects of atomic radiation which might cause a hen to lay unorthodox eggs.
Dr. Nagai began investigating after a pet hen belonging to a 14-year-old girl in nearby Sasebo started turning out gourd-shaped eggs, color less eggs, yolkless eggs, eggless eggs, and one egg with a hole in its head. The hen, daughter of a survivor of the 1945 Nagasi atomic bombment, laid normal eggs up to last November, then jumped to laying the unegilike eggs.
Hen-owner Kiyomi Shimokawaia's school teacher, believing the hen inherited radio activity influence, sent the eggs to Dr. Nagai for study. He said findings on the eggs will be announced within a week.

'Rock Chalk' Column Revived
The old "Rock Chalk" column of the Daily Kansan has been revived. It is now called "Chalk Talk." Instigated by Anne Murphy, Editor-in-chief of the Daily Kansan, the column was written Feb. 16 for the first time since 1946.
personal gossip on various events and the people involved. In 1946, "Rock Chalk" was stopped because the University had become too large for the Kansan to maintain a gossip column.
The column ran for years as a daily feature of the Kansan. It featured various events.
The new column, "Chalk Talk," has changed its scope somewhat. Although it still comments on humorous incidents, it no longer emphasizes a direct personal appeal.
When asked, "What do you think about the reviving of the Kansan's gossip column?", Patricia Bentley, journalism senior said: "I think the writer is doing a good job of presenting comments without any personal bias."
Gloria Hill, College Senior, commented: "Though the new column is not as personal as the former 'Rock Chalk,' I think that the writer is doing a good job of making it interesting to all the students."
J. Robert Pulliam, business freshman, said: "It's a great idea for making the editorial page more interesting. Students like to read the quirks of their fellow students."
Topcka, Feb. 23—(U.P.)The Kansas liquor control bill remained bottled in joint house-senate committee today, after a vicious verbal cross-fire over its provisions between the legal control council and Gov. Frank Carlson.
Arguments Hold Liquor Bill In Legislature
Anerted, the usually good natured governor lashed back with charges that the council statement was a "tirade ... obviously prejudiced, untimely and predicated upon selfish interests."
E. C. Moriarity, Wichita, council chairman, yesterday attacked the Carlson-backed proposal as "strictly class legislation." He claimed only privileged members of private clubs can do any public drinking.
"To please the wets, liquor will be made legal. To please the drys, drinking liquor will be made practically illegal."
Meanwhile, the legislature slowly convened a joint committee to iron out differences in senate and house versions of the liquor bill.
Carlson said "apparently it was made because Moriarity and his selected associates were not given the privilege of dictating their own licitor control law for Kansas."
Sen. Elmer Euwer, (R-Goodland) one of the framers of the act, and Sen. Clarence Youse, (R-Baxter Springs) were named upper chamber conferences yesterday.
Final enactment of the measure, which would end a Kansas intoxicant drought that lasted more than 68 years, was not believed possible for several days—probably a another week.
Speaker Dale Bryant said the three house committee members would be named today.

The 32-page humor magazine features cartoons by Paul Coker, author of Ink and in frank Strong hall, the Union, Marvin hall, and in front of Watson library.
After Death Comes Burial, But Not For These Six Men
By NINA JEAN JONES
Bernice Brady in her stirring portrayal of Martha Webster, won the enthusiastic applause of the audience at the opening performance of "Bury, the Dead." Tuesday in Fraser theater.
Little Man On Campus
One of the highlights of the production was Miss Brady's dramatic appeal to her dead husband to at least support in death the principles he had been afraid to fight for in life. $ \textcircled{6} $
In this fantastic, comic tragedy by Irwin Shaw, Gene Courtney, a philosophical captain, and Tom Shay, a demanding general, were outstanding in their characterizations of Army officers.
Taking into consideration the short time the individuals appeared on stage, they presented accurate prototypes of the characters they portrayed.
The play centered about six dead soldiers who refused "to lie down and be buried." The incidents arose when their "women and officers" attempted to convince them that it was the conventional custom to bury the dead.
The movement of the 26 scene play was accelerated by the absence of curtains between scenes. At the completion of a scene the lights were dimmed and spot lights flashed on the wheelable platforms at the rear of the stage revealing the next place of action.
The weird atmosphere of the black and gray battlefield and open graves in front of the stage was obtained through blue foot lights and red drop lights outlining the battle-scarred hill.
"Bury the Dead" will be presented 8 p.m. today, tomorrow, and Friday in Fraser theater.
This play which takes place during the second year of the war that begins tomorrow, is a reminder of what has happened in the past years and could happen again.
Realistic effects were achieved by authentic sounds of the battle in the background.
Litchman Is Canterbury Guest
The Rev. Mr. Litchman will talk informally to the group and lead a discussion on topics raised by the students about religious aspects of college life.
A reception for the Rev. F. W. Litchman, dean of the Episcopal cathedral at Salina, will be given at the Trinity church by the Canterbury club, Episcopal student organization, at 7:30 p.m. today.

"He said he's a 'Slappa Kappa'—'41—gave me the secret hand shake, named the founders, and recited the secret oath. Shall we let him in?"

Dr. R. Park Johnson, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, Kansas City, Mo., told students Tuesday evening that "persons who say religion is a relic of the past are not clear in their thinking." He spoke at a banquet at the First Presbyterian church in connection with Religious Emphasis week.
"Some churches are a little old fashioned and perhaps need some new life, but those persons who believe that God has abdicated have simply the wrong approach to the question." Dr. Johnson emphasized,
Dr. Johnson stated that there were two groups in the world today who believe that religion is outmodel. The first group is the one that can see the achievements of science and say that science can provide us with the good life; God isn't needed. Dr. Johnson pointed out that this group fails to realize that science has brought destructive things into the world as well as constructive objects. He added that scientists have not forgotten God; they have just left Him out of their experiments.
The communists are the second group which call religion a relic of the past. "The communists operate on the old Marxian theory that material forces are the determining factors in history. There is no assurance that the Marx theory is correct; it has never been proven. The communist indifferent to the individual and denies him freedom. The communist experiment cannot be a success except as a police state." Dr. Johnson said.
About 100 Presbyterian students attended the banquet. John Oliver, College senior, was toastmaster.
