McPherson Slowly Recovers Eye Sight
Wilbur McPherson, senior from Tonganoxie, is recuperating from a serious eye injury received last week in an explosion in the chemistry department.
The explosion lodged a piece of glass in McPherson's right eye, cutting it badly. He was rushed to the University of Kansas hospital in Kansas City for treatment. Complete vision will not return, but in three months he can use the eye again, it was said.

Debaters Crowd Campus Over Weekend
Representing 33 high schools of the state, 273 debaters crowded the campus over the weekend for the annual debate institute. This year's institute was attended by 100 more students than last year's.
The increase in registration was due to the Debaters Assembly, a special feature of the Institute which was inaugurated this year. At the first meeting of the Institute Friday in Fraser theater, Lelia Bell Marks of Valley Falls was elected Speaker of the Assembly and Ned Russell of Chanute was elected Clerk.
Also responsible for the increased enrollment was the debate Friday between Congressman W. P. Lambertson and Hilden R. Gibson of the University department of political science, arguing negatively and affirmatively respectively on the high school debate question "Resolved: That the power of the federal government shall be increased." Mr. Lambertson and Mr. Gibson also conducted an open forum at which the students questioned them on points pertinent to the resolution.

Survey Staffs Sink New Wells
In an attempt to find suitable water for the city of Lawrence, the Federal Geological Survey and the Kansas Geological Survey are cooperating with the city in sinking test wells, according to the Federal Survey office here.
The drilling rig, which is owned by the Kansas Geological Survey, and its crew will be ready to start drilling the latter part of this week. If the agreement is approved, the first test well will be drilled near the present intake at the site of a former well that was used in the past as a source of water by the city. From there northeastward across the Kaw valley a line of test wells will be drilled, and the results from these wells will determine where other wells will be put down.
An agreement handed to the city council last night makes an allotment of $1,250 for the project, of which $500 will be paid by the city and $750 by the Federal and Kansas Geological Surveys.
The samples taken from the test wells will be analyzed by the Kansas State Board of Health in the water laboratory at K.U. The cost of this analysis will be covered by a fund of the Board of Health.
Twenty-six thousand newsletters have gone to 30,000 K.U. alumni, inviting them to attend Homecoming Nov. 8 and 9, according to Fred Elssworth, alumni secretary. The difference in numbers Mr. Ellsworth attributes to the fact that many K.U. graduates are married.
