Agar-Agar ★★★
Sherwood Says
"Plenty Of It"
Even in a "war participation" department such as bacteriology, this year things are different.
Personnel is changing continually, due to the draft and necessities of war work. Dr. Glenn Bond and Harold Clark were two of the first to be called. By next semester Robert L. Faucett and Harold Nelson will leave for Rosedale to finish their degrees in medicine, on request of the Army and the Navy, respectively. At present, they hold reserve commissions.
Fewer graduate students are attending college, because of the army and the good jobs offered. There is an extra load of medical students, and the faculty has a heavier teaching load due to the accelerater program.
grant.
Priorities have made little difference to the department as yet, only because the budget committee anticipated the difficulty and bought enough equipment for the duration, they hope. For instance, the supply of agar-agar, a Japanese sea-weed, should last four years, Dr. N. P. Sherwood, chairman of the department, believes. Stiffer priorities are due to go into effect October 1, but the bacteriology department is confident that they are well supplied.
PURDUE NOW A WAR PLANT
Purdue University engineering student has enlisted in the war as "soldiers of production." The university has signed a sub-contract with Westinghouse Electric and the students are already turning out machine parts. Working part time, 275 students have achieved a production equivalent to a 75-man machine shop on full time.
Two-color shoes are out for the duration. WPB has banned the production of fancy footwear to save leather. At the same time it has reduced the variety of styles and cut the number, of colors to six; black, white, turftan, Army russet, Town Brown and Blue. Athlete's shoes, incidently, will be made as usual.
NO RESTRICTIONS ON WALKING
NO RESTRICTIONS ON WALKING Bicycles are going to be less plentiful from now on. Their manufacture has been cut to 10,000 a month by WPB and concentrated in two plants the Westfield Manufacturing Co., of Westfield, Mass., and the Huffman Manufacturing Co., of Dayton, Ohio. They will turn out a "Victory Model" which will not carry their name or trademark. The rest of the industry will produce war weapons.
Storer To Address Rotary
N. W. Storer, associate professor of physics, will address the regular luncheon meeting of the Rotary club at the Eldridge hotel Monday noon. The subject of his address will be "Navigation."
Graduate Moves to Lawrence
Elmer S. Riggs, who was graduated from the University in 1896, has retired as curator of paleontology of the Field museum of Natural History at hicago, and has returned to Lawrence to make his home. He held the C Museum museum staff position for 44 years.
Gilles Resigns Y. M. Presidency
Paul Gilles, college senior, resigned his position as president of the Y.M.C.A. last week, saying that his recently acquired position as laboratory instructor in chemistry would require his full attention. He has been succeeded by Ralph Michamer, college junior, former vicepresident.
Michener stepped into office immediately and is carrying out plans made for the organization this year. Early activities include the Membership assembly October 6 for all members of the Y.M.C.A. in all classes. The following week the annual Membership banquet will be held.
Plans for freshmen of the organization have begun in earnest, with the first meeting held yesterday, and a freshman outing planned for Saturday. Fellowship suppers will begin next week.
Membership in the Y.M.C.A. this year has reached 100 more than it was at this time last year and it is increasing.
Watkins Hospital
☆ ☆ ☆
Some chest x-ray pictures taken on Friday afternoon and evening turned out to have been taken on imperfect films. Those students whose films failed to turn out will be notified for retakes. The retakes are scheduled for Tuesday from 9 to 12 a.m. and 1 to 5 p.m.
The x-rays were taken this year by a 35 mm. fluoroscopic unit which is the property of the United States Public Health Service and was loaned to the State Board of Health for use in defense areas. The University is included in the defense area in which Lawrence is now classed.
Students who haven't completed their tuberculin tests should report to Watkins Memorial hospital clinic as soon as possible. The hospital staff wishes to finish the tuberculin tests of all new students.

the "COLLEGE JEWELER"
Explains Language Oddity
Concerning Chinatown, Cheng said that it was all in the book. "Shake Hands With the Dragon," but that one oddity was the language. The Chinese and Italian can understand each other in their native languages but not if they both speak English. The community sometimes called 'Little Italy,' has a distinct 'jargon' he repeated.
Chinatown has two Chinese theaters of the Cantonese language. The other Chinese language is Mandarin. They have one opera in Chinese equal to American operas and Cheng asserted, "Probably just as hard to understand."
Most of the residents are American citizens and are drafted into the army and most aliens enlist in compliance with the law passed recently permitting aliens declaring intention of obtaining citizenship papers to join the American forces. Chinese Are Sports Minded
Sports run in manias. In 1930 te 1933, basketball was popular and Chinatown had one of the strongest teams in that section of the country. From 1935-1938 boxing was popular. Today bowling and pool predominate and Chinatown boasts several excellent bowlers and pool sharks, he said modestly.
One sharp distinction of China is the retaining of the old Chinese isthe retaining of the old Chinese custom of boy meets girl technique.

in China and in Chinatown, N.Y., if a boy is seen with or seen talking with a girl, he is considered a sissy.
Coming Soon "MRS. MINIVER"
Cheng plans to obtain his bachelor of science degree at the University. He says after that, "My plans are not definite, but I would like to go to China." He prophesied that mechanical engineers would not be needed in America after the war. "In Europe and in China, there will be a demand for them. My parents still own land in China, and I want to go back and look after it when the war is over."
