Botany Expert, 87, To Continue Work As Long As He 'Can Wiggle'
"I will do botanical work as long as I am able to wiggle."
This comment was made by Prof. W. C. Stevens, retired chairman of the botany department, on his 87th birthday, Feb. 16.
The occasion was more than just a birthday celebration. Friends of the elderly educator had gathered for a second reason. Professor Stevens' portrait was presented to the botany department by the Lymanacen club.
"When I entered the University as a student in 1881 there were only three buildings on the Hill," Professor Stevens said. "They were the old North College building where Corbin hall is today, and incomplete Fraser hall, and a small wooden observatory in front of Fraser about where the Pioneer status is today."
Footwork was common because few students owned horses Professor Stevens said. They walked on field trips and to and from picnics, which pere top social gatherings of the time.
The University had only a few departments and about 400 students. Professor Stevens recalled that even after he began teaching, the faculty was so small that the whole group often went on picnics in one express wagon.
Professor Stevens has written three books, "Introduction to Botany" and "Plant Anatomy" were the first two. He has just finished the third, a book on Kansas wild flowers.
Union Picks Two Students To Announce Broadcasts
Ervin E. Grant, College senior, ano Steve Mills, freshman, have been selected as program announcers for the Union broadcast.
Grant was with a radio guild while attending the University of Minnesota in 1944. Mills announced short programs on five Denver stations while attending the summer session at Denver university last year.
The Union still needs students who have had experience in radio announcing.
Forecasts For Schools
For those who are wondering what the school of tomorrow will be like, Cloy S. Hobson, assistant professor of education, may have an answer.
Professor Hobson has recently returned from a meeting of the association for Supervision and Curriculum Development held in Cincinnati. It was sponsored by the National Education association.
Professor Hobson's discussion group, one of 15 at the meeting, concluded that the curriculum of tomorrow's schools shouldn't have a formal pattern but should fit the needs of the children, both individually and as a group. This does not rule out the need for a framework, but puts much less emphasis on it than there has been in the past.
"The world is making progress." Professor Hobson said. "It is the duty of education to take some responsibility for the direction of the change."
ThisIf raids Police Station,
Gets Typewriter And Soap
Mexico City, —(UP)—Red-faced police are searching for the thief who made off with a typewriter, soap, mops and brooms from police headquarters.
One officer, not on duty at the time of the crime, quipped, "headquarters was really cleaned out."
Freshman medical students saw normal and pathological blood conditions pictured in movies of living animals Feb. 21.
Freshman Medical Students See Blood Condition Movies
Dr. Melvin H. Knisely, associate professor of anatomy at the University of Chicago, used the movies as a supplement to his lecture on "Sludge in Blood." He helped develop the newly discovered way of finding out circulation reactions to shock and injury by taking enlarged technicolor movies of normal animals and then comparing their circulation with that of abnormal ones.
Gold Per Capita Small In USA
Johannesburg —(UP) — Although South Africans have been known to deploy the enormous gold hoard which the United States holds at Fort Knox and elsewhere, the fact is that this little nation also has a fair supply of the precious metal.
In fact, South Africa has more gold-per capita of its European population-than America can boast per capita.
During the past six months, the South African Reserve bank has consistently reported gold reserves of $197,000,000 or better. This works out £78 (about $312 in U.S. currency) for each of the 2,500,000 European inhabitants of South Africa. Toward the middle of this month, the golden stockpile of the United States amounted to $22,708,-000,000 or $157 per capita.
Extension Class Started
A University Extension class in interior decorating has been opened in Mission, Kan.
The class is sponsored by the Mission Chamber of Commerce and is conducted by Mrs. Velma Riller. It is the largest class to be started in the Kansas City area with 271 women attending. The class will continue for six weeks.

Record Success Story!
RCA Victor's rising star of the keyboard
—Larry Green—scores another hit . . .
"GONNA GET A GIRL"
CAMEL is the cigarette for me!
WITHIN the past few months, Larry Green has climbed right up with the top bands of the land! If you ask Larry how he did it, he'll light up a Camel and say: "Experience is the best teacher in the band business—and in cigarettes. I know from experience that sweet music suits my band, just as I learned from experience that Camels suit my 'T-Zone' to a 'T!"
Try Camels! Discover for yourself why, with smokers who have tried and compared, Camels are the "choice of experience!"
And here's another great record—
More people are smoking CAMELS than ever before!
