Journey by Radio To South America
Prof. W. H. Shoemaker, chairman of the department of romance languages, Miss Mildred Seaman, assistant program director of KFKU, and five students visited Latin America by radio last Tuesday evening.
The students who made the journey were Margaret Welch,
Shirley Bartholomew, Lewis
The trip lasted 15 minutes for it was made over radio station KFKU as the first in the series of broadcasts, "Let's Visit Latin America." The program will be heard at 6 p.m. every Tuesday.
The students who made the Shirley Bartholomew, Lewis Riederer, Cecilia Goncalves, and Marmaduke Grove. The visitors journeyed through Mexico, south across the Panama Canal and the equator, down the east coast of South America, and back through Chile, Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador.
"Let's Visit Latin America" will bring to the radio traveler much of the historical background, colorful traditions, the folk-lore, music, National anthems, arts, educational and social orders of the countries.
Students Are Guides
Dr. Shoemaker spoke of Mexico and his several trips through that country.
In the first broadcast, Senorita Goncalves and the Senor Grove acted as guides for the other members of the party. The students questioned Miss Goncalves and learned that she is from Rio de Janerio, has studied four and a half years in law but is interested in other subjects. Duke, as Senor Grove is known to his associates, speaks English fluently and has attended an American high school and the University of Chile, in Santiago.
Plan Future Journeys
In future trips the group will visit Valparaiso, the pearl of the Pacific, and will then go to Vina, a seaside resort. From Vina they will go inland to Santiago, at the foot of snow capped mountains. The group will also visit Brazil and Venezuela. Then it will cruise through the Caribbean sea, stopping at the island republics of Puerto Rico, Cuba, Santa Domingo and Haiti, and returning to the United States by way of Palm Beach or Miami.
Merle E. Simmons and William T. Belt, assistant instructors in romance languages, will be in charge of the next tour. Any student who has been to South America or speaks Spanish is eligible to apply for a position on the radio broadcast. Both Miss Goncalves and Mr. Grove will appear on next week's program.
Dr. N. P. Sherwood, professor of bacteriology, spoke to the Lawrence chapter of the Kiwanis club at 12:30 p.m. today. Doctor Sherwood spoke on "Man and Microbes." The meeting was held at Wiedemann's Grill.

Wine Beats a "Line"
One day a Roman husband went home and suspiciously brushed his wife's lips with his own to learn if the old girl had been drinking his best wine. Some tom-peeper in a toga must have been at the keyhole; because by the next day all the Roman husbands were brushing their wives' lips—sniffing for wine—and kissing was here to stay.
See how unromantically the darn thing started? Have any of you "great lovers" or even "amateurs" really stopped to think just why you nearly break your necks to "plant one" on the ruby lips of your date?
Why is it that Americans don't rub noses like the Eskimoes or even consider kissing as taboo as the Japanese do? After a little realistic thinking maybe we'll decide that lip-kissing is merely a lot of romantic ballyhoo spread by poets and others of their ilk for countless centuries and that we've been more gullible than other peoples.
From a purely scientific viewpoint osculation (kissing to you) is a cold calculated, and definitely unsanitary process. Geometrically, osculation is the contact of a curve or surface with an osculating curve or surface. Biologically, it is to have characters in common with two groups. How can romance spring from a definition like that? Furthermore the boys with the M.D.'s say that the thrill of osculation springs largely from the imagination and that twiddling of the thumbs could be just as stimulating.
Did you know that from 80,000 to 1,000,000 germs pass from mouth to mouth every time you osculate? Trench mouth, measles, pneumonia, tuberculosis, scarlet fever! The best

Dr. Luellen Will Intern Here
Dr. T. J. Luellen has arrived from the University of Kansas hospitals, Kansas City, Kan., for one month service as intern at Watkins Memorial hospital. Dr. Robert Turner has completed his service here and has returned to the University of Kansas hospitals.
technique in the world can't dodge all those.
Hope this hasn't disillusioned too many of you or frightened those of you who should be six feet under by this time.
If this preys on your mind the next time you're working yourself into a romantic state of mind, try a mutual pat on the head instead of puckering up. If you're so far gone that none of this makes any difference to you, then go ahead and have your fun—but a bottle of antiseptic is recommended for those with weak constitutions.
"UNHOLY PARTNERS AT THE JAYHAWKER
Manhattan on the loose in the most spectacular decade of history—its comedy and its drama, its reckless romance and roistering adventures blazing in the tabloid headlines—provides the colorful background for "Unholy Partners" starting today for three days at the Jayhawker.
Edward G. Robinson, of "Little Caesar" and "Five Star Final," and many other stage and screen hits, is the editor of a blatant New York tabloid. By a curious trick of fortune, his partner—and bitter enemy in the war between decency and the underworld mob,—is Edward Arnold of recent "Meet John Doe" fame, as the big shot overlord of gangsterdom, who flings 150 grand into the newspaper venture and calls it lettuce. But he protects his little vegetable garden with triggermen and legal mouthpieces.
This is the story of post-war inflation and prohibition, of "bunion derbies" and Marathon dances; of the big Bull Market in Wall Street and of tons of ticker tape fluttering from skyscraper windows upon returning heroes; of Transatlantic flights and transparent flappers, the whole mad aftermath of World War I, to that fateful day of the market crash and the great depression. But foremost and sensationally, it is the story of a hell-bent-for-copy-newspaperman and his fight against the underworld—pitching hot lead type in reply to hot lead slugs from the trigger men.
