Singers Sunk As Bus Busts
An all-day tour by the University women's glee club almost came to disaster April 19 when one of the busses broke down.
Leaving Lawrence at 7:30 a.m. the group arrived in Garnett at 9 a.m. and in Iola at 11 a.m. in time to give its program. In Iola, however, the trouble with the larger of the two busses began. The driver and a mechanic worked frantically to repair $ \textcircled{*} $
the engine but half of the group was delayed for an hour.
The trouble repaired, the women arrived in Chanute barely in time to catch their breath for the 1:15 p.m. program. They continued to Humboldt where the last program was given at 3 p.m.
Tired and ready to get back to Lawrence, the girls and their conductor, Miss Irene Peabody, had just relaxed when the bus sighed and gave up completely in Colony.
The driver called a mechanic from Garnett then called the manager of the Southwest Greyhound lines in Kansas City, Mo. Eighteen of the women were sent back to Lawrence on a regular bus.
The driver of the smaller bus returned for the remainder of the group after his passengers were returned to Lawrence. At 9 p.m. the weary vocalists left Colony to reach the University two hours later.
"The drivers were marvelous," commented Miss Peabody. "They worked frantically and did their best to keep the girls from getting nervous."

Columbus, Ohio - (UP) -"Romantic love" and "the free choice system of mate selection" would be banned if an Ohio State university professor had his way.
Dr. A. R. Mangus, professor of rural sociology, however, leaves open the question of what he would put in its place.
"The free choice system of mate selection no longer works well." Dr. Mangus said. "In our mobile society it brings together in marriage couples who lack common background and are incompatible.
"Further, romantic love blinds couples to each other's faults and immaturities. They awake to their basic incompatibilities only after marriage has forced them to realities."

UHS Senior Play Is 'Brother Goose'
Members of the senior class of the University High school presented a superb interpretation of "Brother Goose," a three act comedy by William Davidson, April 23 in Fraser theater.
Donald Christian, playing Jeff, presented a convincing performance as "Brother Goose," the big brother of an orphaned family of four.
Love, Anger Alike In One Way; Both Get Same Chemical Kick
The antics of the three members of Jeff's flock added humor and enlivened the play. Carolene Cae Callahan, as Carol, portrayed the sister who was continuously entering slogan and "why I like" contests. Charles D. Murphy, as Wes, the girl crazy brother, presented an hilarious performance which contributed greatly in making the play successful.
Chicago—(UP)—It's more fun to kiss a pretty girl but you'd get the same chemical kick if she made you angry with a quick brush-off, a scientist reported recently.
Caroline Crosier, was Hyacinth, the youngest member of the family whose one love was football. She was attired throut the play in a football uniform. Claudia Anderson, as Peggy, came to Jeff's rescue in taking over the family.
An excellent supporting cast included Myrle T. Lassen, as Helen; Patricia Dixon, Eve; Doris Jeffries, Sarah; Carol Ann Tupy, Lenore; Leois Wustefeld, Mrs. Trimmer; and Donald K. Hergert, the truck driver.
Miss Tupy sang a solo, "Make Believe," between the first and second act. She was accompanied by Donald Fletchall at the piano.
Basically, he said, a kiss produces the same chain chemical reaction that accompanies any strong excitement.
Dr. L. Earle Arnow, a biochemist, attending the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society, said "a kiss brings on an 'alarm reaction', just as happiness, fear, anger or any other emotion."
When a man kisses a girl, things happen fast in his chemical system. The pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain, manufactures what scientists call adrenocorticotropic hormone.
This stimulates the adrenal gland near the pituitary gland. The adrenal releases another series of chemicals. Then more things happen.
White blood cells break down at a fast rate. Blood pressure jumps up. Tubes in the lungs dilate to provide more oxygen. The heart beats faster. Perspiration breaks out.
The racing term "furlong"—one-eighth of a mile—originally meant "furrow-long," according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
"So far as science knows," Arnow said, "the chemicals in the body cannot distinguish the difference between the emotion aroused by a kiss and that stimulated by anger."
New Look In Food Shown To Hotels
Cleveland-(UP)-John L. Hennessy, board chairman of the Statler hotels, described science's latest contributions to good eating at the Ohio Hotels association convention here.
Hennessy reported on food experiments he had seen at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Army Quartermaster depot at Chicago, and other research laboratories.
He told of cakes baked in sealed tins to retain their freshness, of meat aged by controlled temperatures and light rays in 36 hours instead of the usual three weeks.
Hennessy described a process whereby fruits and vegetables are bombarded with 4,000,000-volt cyclotrons after canning to kill bacteria and preserve their flavor and color for years.
