Carruth Prexy, Emma Lou Britton Studies World Politics, Sociology
"Social barriers should be broken down," is the belief of Emma Lou Britton, College, and president of Carruth hall. She continued that world peace and cooperation can only come through community cooperation and understanding.
She is in charge of a freshman orientation commission in Y.W.C.A. She also is one of the two representatives for Y.W.C.A. to the Student Religious council which promotes religious activity on the campus and coordinates the plans of the different religious groups represented. In addition to this she is on the Inter-Dorm council.
A serious-minded citizenship is shown through her aims in life. At one time she was interested in social work, helping at the Marcey Settlement house in Chicago during the summer of 1945. There she assisted in teaching a group of 150 to 200 children under the sponsorship of a professor of sociology at Adrian college in Michigan.
"Social work is not the base of the trouble," she said, and now her aims are striking higher. With a background as a political science major she hopes someday to be in government work, with perhaps a future in international relations or with the United Nations Security council.
Band, Orchestra Get New Bass Instruments
Being president of Carruth and having the responsibility of organizing a new hall is one of her many jobs on the campus.
Her enthusiasm has given her wide interests. She has taken organ work here at the University. She now is playing basketball on the Carruth and Templin team. She has a fondness for walking in the rain, hiking, and has an appreciation of music.
The bass notes emanating from the K.U. band will be rounder, smoother, and mellower than ever before, if new instruments mean anything.
Eight new tubas and as many bass fiddles have been received by Prof. Russell L. Wiley, director of both the band and orchestra.
The tubas are not the old-fashioned wrap-around type, according to Professor Wiley. Instead, the gold-plated bells open to the front from a vertical shaft.
The University owns and supplies some of the larger, expensive instruments not normally owned by students.
An oil painting constantly hung in a dark place loses some of its vividness, and therefore depreciates in value
Hessler Is Co-Author Of Engineering Text
A text book written by Prof. V. P. Hessler, department of electrical engineering, and John J. Carey, former K.U. professor, will make its formal appearance in U.S. colleges next fall. The book is "Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering." Mimeographed copies of the text now are being used at K.U.
The book resulted from a study of electrical engineering teaching problems at K.U. made by Professor Hessler and Professor Carey, who is now a faculty member at the University of Michigan.
The text is designed for a one semester elementary course which will normally come during the sophomore year.

And That, Said The Anthropologist Will Be Toe Bad
According to Albert Spaulding, assistant professor of sociology and assistant curator of anthropology, in a discussion after his recent talk on "Apes, Giants, and Men" given to Sigma Xi, man may lose his little toes as he is losing wisdom teeth in a physical deterioration of evolution.
"But at least," laughed Professor Spauling, "four-toed zoologists will at long last have a real distinction between man and the other orimates."
In his talk, the professor traced evolutionary development of man from ape-like ancestors, discussing such important type-fossils as Pithecanthropus Erectus, found in Java and China, and Neanderthal man from Europe and northern Africa.
In addition, in what he termed a "believe-or-it-not" section, Professor Spaulding described the freak specimens of evolutionary history. He mentioned such finds as the Piltdown man of England, with the skull of a human and a lower jaw identical to that of a chimpanzee.
