Technician Shortage Hits Laboratories
Several calls for technicians received at the bacteriology department office from various states show evidence of a demand for women technicians, according to N. P. Sherwood, professor of bacteriology.
"We do not have enough majors who are finished with their training to take the positions that were offered this week," Dr. Sherwood said.
For the technician and bacteriology major there are opportunities in hospital laboratories and clinics, state and city board of health laboratories, teaching, and research.
These positions in hospitals, laboratories and clinics usually offer an initial salary of from $75 to $125 per month with board, room, and laundry. The maximum salary for individuals not holding an M. D. or Ph. D. degree but with an A. B. or at most an A. M. is approximately $150 per month and maintenance. The salary for men with M. D. degrees or Ph. D. degrees is much greater.
Government positions in bacteriology vary from subordinate positions to positions paying up to $5,- 000 to $6,000 a year.
The packing plants and other industries employ bacteriologists for control of bacteriology of their products and for research work. The salary range is from about $1,000 to $4,000 a year.

Science Journal Carries Wetmore Dyche Address
The ceremonial address given by Dr. Alexander Wetmore, assistant secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, at the reopening of Dyche museum on June 6, 1941, recently appeared as a feature article in Science magazine.
Dr. Wetmore gives the background of the museum as concerned with Lewis Lindsay Dyche, after whom the museum was named, Dr. Francis Huntington Snow and himself
The author, a native Kansan, tells of his personal contacts with the two faculty members while attending this University. Dr. Wetmore says of Professor Dyche:
"He traveled through Kansas to tell in high schools and other halls the story of his adventures illustrated with stereotype picture of places that he had seen. Undoubtedly it was these lectures that made him one of the best-known members of the university faculty of his day throughout the state, and that helped to persuade reluctant legislators of the desirability of a special museum building to house the collections that he and others had made."
In speaking of Doctor Snow, Wetmore says he was "the pioneer in natural science in Kansas so far as this University is concerned."
There is also brought into the article much of the history of the modern museums throughout the world and some of the historical facts concerning the Smithsonian Institution. Dr. Wetmore concludes this address-article:
"Support of this great defense program is paramount and essential, but with it let us not forget that in cultural and esthetic pursuits there are not only improvement for the mind and training for the future, but also momentary escape for the individual from the troubles that beset him.
"In the halls of our museums, our art galleries and our libraries throughout our great nation there is found enjoyment and recreation for
the public to be encountered now where else. The contemplation of nature and its laws, and of the individual objects that exemplify these, brings a relief and a peace not elsewhere possible.
"Public morale, of maximum importance under the grim threats of war, is fostered by such mental relaxation. These are facts to be remembered in periods of stress, that the small financial support for such activities be not denied. Let us consider this as a contribution to the defense armament of the mind and of the soul."
Between-Semester Trips Arranged By Travel Bureau
The Union Travel Bureau is taking requests from students and faculty members desiring rides or passengers for trips between semesters.
Georgia Ferrel, Travel Bureau staff member, asked students to phone their requests to the Student Union Activities office as soon as possible as no applications will be taken after final examinations begin.
Persons requesting rides will be notified if there are any opportunities. Drivers and passengers must make all the arrangements as the Bureau acts only as agent.
Colorado university's enrollment last semester was 4.053, of whom 2,564 were men.
