Kentucky's State Laws Don't Apply To Church
Frankfort, Ky. (UP)—Kentucky's Jim Crow laws, affecting such items as transportation and public schools, do not apply to church membership;
That is the conclusion of Attorney General Eldon S. Dummit, who held that "neither the constitution nor the statutes prohibit white and Negro persons from attending, worshiping, or belonging to the same local church."
Willie Combs, Sassafras, Knott County, wrote the attorney general that in some sections of eastern Kentucky whites and Negroes were joining the same church and asked whether the Jim Crow laws would apply.
"In Kentucky there is a complete separation of church and state." General Dummit said. "The church has no power to interfere with the laws and regulations of the state. Neither has the state any power to interfere with the church in its government, rules, modes of worship or authority to receive members into its local organization, so long as they do not contravene penal laws."
Students To Set Policy
Manhattan—(UP)—Andrew Jackson of Kansas City and Henry Brandes of Garden Plain have been appointed by the K.S.C. Student council to organize a student housing committee to consider general policy for college-operated housing.

Latin, Greek Stage Comeback Highest Enrollment In 24 Years
Maybe it is a result of the war, or maybe it is just a natural trend to ward culture by the K.U. student, but the Latin and Greek department has one of the highest percentages of increased enrollment in the University.
Prof. L. R. Lind, chairman of the department, said that the present enrollment is larger than any in the past 24 years and five times larger than
in 1940 when he first came to the University. Sometimes before 1913, the first year on which the department has records, there was undoubtedly a higher enrollment than now because 10 faculty members were employed.
The favorite course in the department is the Latin language, with 160 students enrolled in the beginning course. Greek drama and poetry are also favorites. Beginning Greek is a neglected course, Professor Lind says, but it can be very helpful for other courses, especially for pre-medical students.
Although veterans make up one half of the enrollment, more non-veteran students are in the department than normally. Professor Lind believes so many veterans take department courses, not only because they understand them but also because Latin and Greek offer a challenge that the serious-minded student is eager to accept. Latin Is Favorite
Any student who majors in the department of Latin and Greek it qualified to perform the services of a translator, lexicographer, special reference librarian, or research assistant. He may, in addition, qualify as a consultant for firms or individuals requiring accurate information in scientific terminology, trade names, and slogans.
Science terminology uses as its common base the root-words of rapidly. More than 52 per cent of Greek and Latin and is increasing the words in the English language now are of Greek and Latin origin.
Present faculty members of the department include Professor Lind; Miss Winnie D. Lorrance, Mrs. T. D.
As most of the students in the department are freshmen, Professor Lind hopes that by next fall the department will be able to offer more classes to sophomores. Plans for the future include offering more subjects to advanced students such as medieval Latin, Renaissance Latin, and Greek literature and translation.
Prentice, and Mrs. Mary Grant, now on leave of absence from the University. At present they are each teaching an average of 15 hours a week.
He has heard from an honorary group wanting a Latin motto for their organization. And from a man doing research in English poetry who wanted to know the meaning of an obscure word in a poem, which he could not find in the dictionary.
During his years of teaching Latin and Greek, Professor Lind has had many strange requests from many persons.
The most unusual request was made by a young woman who needed a birth certificate to show an employer to get a job. She had a perfectly good certificate, but it was written in modern Greek which neither she, her parents, nor her employer could translate into the proper legal jargon. After a bit of hard work, Professor Lind finally presented her with an English version complete with "Be it known by these presents."
Scientists often come to him for translation of a description of species or sub-species of insects or animals usually written in the learned journals in Latin.
"Our weary mothers' spirits rose with it," Eliasberg pointed out. "We could be left to play in the garden while they did their house work. We got out of her hair. Children get all the affection they crave in the spring. The more they're loved, the more they love."

Fancies May Turn To Love In Spring But It's Just Because We All Grew Up
It used to be mother that the young girl kissed, but pretty soon the object of her affections does another switch. This time its the boy friend.
New York. (UP)—If you fall in love come spring, it's only a conditioned reflex.
You can't help it. It's all due to something that happened when you were growing up, and too small to defend yourself.
"Then the story changes slightly," he explained. "During the winter we vexed our mothers into fits of fury. They couldn't take us out of doors. They were forced to make the best of an unhappy situation."
"The whole thing starts when we're young," said Dr. Wladimir G. Ellasberg, a psychology professor at Rutgers university. "As infants, we were the objects of our affections. Self-love was at its strongest.
This, Eliasberg said, resulted in diminished affection displayed toward the child. As a result, the child's love urges were not gratified. But then came spring—wonderful spring.
"At this period when spring arrived, it didn't mean a thing. We just shook our rattles and forgot about it."
And, as children grow older, their affections rise—along with the sap—in the spring.
But as the child grows, Eliasberg continued, and his parents gradually take the place of himself (at least partially) as objects of love.
Because of this most people are conditioned to let their emotions be exuberant in the spring.
"So, if your heart beats faster when you meet a young man or
woman this spring, it probably isn't real love at all," Dr. Eliasberg warned.
"it's just something that your nerves remember.
"Love must survive a cold winter, or at least a hot summer, before you may feel certain that it'll probably last."

Scientists Simulate Rock, Ore Formation
Arthur L. Howland, chairman of the geology department, and Robert M. Garrels, assistant professor, are making studies in crystallization.
The apparatus that Howland and Garrels are using consists of an arrangement of glass tubes and a heat-resistant material. A flow of liquid over crystal surfaces.
The device works this way: A piece of crystal, selected for both size and shape, is suspended by a hair in the path of the flowing solution, which has been activated by heat. As the liquid passes over the crystal, it dissolves or reacts with it, depending on the nature of the crystal and the solution.
