13 Will Take Portuguese Course
Thirteen students and several auditors have enrolled for the course in Portuguese, which will be taught this semester by Dr. Jose M. Osma, professor of Spanish.
Because of renewed Pan-American activity, Portuguese will be offered after a ten-year absence from the University curriculum.
Doctor Osma explained that the course is particularly timely at the present because of Pan-American relationships. Although Brazil is the only South American nation with Portuguese as its official language, it contains more than one-half of the population of South America.
C. V. Kent Leaves For Research Work
C. V. Kent, professor of physics, has been granted a leave of absence for the second semester and the summer term of 1941.
Kent will do research work in measuring the velocity of electrons at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He will leave next week and return next fall in time for the fall term.

Booth Reports Algae Used In Erosion Control Work
W. E. Booth, instructor in the botany department, is the author of an article on the importance of algae in erosion control to be published soon in "Ecology," a quarterly scientific review.
It is recognized that plants play an important part in erosion control but the study of lower forms of plants such as algae has been neglected. Booth's studies the past 3 years in Kansas and Oklahoma have shown algae and other micro-organisms to be more important in the control of wind and water erosion than was formerly believed.

MALOTT TELLS---each of the state's three smaller colleges and about $200,000 for the larger institutions. The individual tax would amount to $2.50 on an assessed valuation of $10,000.
President Farrell at the hearing listed the needs of Kansas State College as a gymnasium, a home economics building, an engineering building, and a veterinarians' hospital.
Butcher advanced a new library as Emporia's most pressing requirement, but Malott did not mention any specific structures for the University campus.

All-American Orchestra Auditions Here Soon
University of Kansas musicians have an opportunity to try for places in the all-American Youth Orchestra led by Leopold Stokowski, it was announced today by Karl Kuersteiner, director of the University symphony orchestra.
The all-American Youth Orchestra is ni reality an all-American organization. Its members are chosen from all sections of the country, and there are no restrictions of race, color, or sex. Members must be from 17 to 25 years old.
Preliminary auditions will be held on the campus during the last two weeks of February, and final auditions will be held in Kansas City, March 7, by Stokowski, whose decisions will be final.
This summer the orchestra will tour the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Last year the orchestra toured South America. Members will be paid salaries for rehearsals and concerts as well as traveling expenses.
Kuersteiner advised any musicians interested to apply at once, and went on to say that there has been some discussion concerning the organization of an all-Kansas Youth Orchestra. Then though a musician failed to be chosen for the all-American group, he might find a place
