Here on the Hill
Monday night was "better improvement" night in a part of the Greek circles. Signa Phi Epilosion Pi Kappa Alpha, Alpha Delta Pi Gamma Phi Beta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Giamma Delta, Pi Beta Phi, and Delta Theta thebeds took the initiative, innocently told the acts good- bye, and staged the traditional fraternity or seniority walk-out.
A reception was held for each pledge class upon its return. Some were cold, some were hot, but none were warmed by friendliness. Sorry, the classes returned at 10:38 pm while fraternity clubs strained it at all hours.

Sixth Sense Aids In Examinations Tests Disclose
New York-(UP)-A sixth sense extramensial perception-governs to a certain degree the accuracy of guesswork, tests conducted by Columbia University psychologists indicate.
The research workers, after conducting a series of 1,000 tests with hidden cards, said even the average man or woman had some sort of mental prompting which tended to bring them closer together. On the part of some of the subjects,
In every test the cards were shuffled and set out of range of sight and hearing, and in about half of the tests the objects were a quarter of a mile away.
"Something other than chance is at work," the psychologists said, but offered no option as to what the extra-chance factor might be.
"The records indicate, contrary to chance expectation, that there is a definite relation between the scores on some of the sets of cards." Prof. Gardner Murphy said. "Control series and statistical analysis augments the ability to make an accurate chance is it work." There are several phases of the distributions of the data which are difficult to interpret and it is considered wise to continue the experiment, using new subjects as well as continuing with the old."

Rats To Replace Monkeys In Paralysis Experiments
Must Register Today
To Take Proficiency Exam
Dean Paul B. Lawson reports that the registration has been progressing rapidly and that a much larger number of students than in previous years will take the examination. Students expecting to receive a degree from the College at the end of the spring semester must pass the examination to be eligible for graduation.
Students required to take the proficiency examination in English composition Saturday will conclude registration at the College office today. At the time of registration students are assigned numbers for the identification of papers together with room numbers for the test.
Washington (U.P.)—The U. S. Public Health Service, facing a shortage of imported monkeys because of war, has successfully conducted infantile paralysis serum experiments on eastern cotton rats.
Failure to pass the examination at this time will necessitate its repetition at one of the remaining two tests to be given during the year.
"The discovery is especially timely since the war will interfere with the importation of monkeys, which to date have been the only sus- trials in which animals for infantile paralysis." Surgeon General Thomas Perry said.
Alumni Meetings Will Be November 3
Fred Elsworth, head of the Alumni Association, has announced that the annual University alumni reunion will be held in conjunction with the State Teachers' meeting on Nov. 3 again this year. The meetings will take place in six centers: Topeka, Wichita, Dodge City, Hays, Salina, and Pittsburg. This office is working with alumni in these centers and will appreciate the names of every faculty member from here who is planning to attend this reunion.
Dr. Parran said that the virus which causes the disease has been carried through seven transfers in the rodents. Symptoms produced in the rats were identical to those observed in children in that one or more of the limbs or respiratory muscles were paralyzed, he said.

"The discovery of a cheap, easily handled experimental animal that can be readily reared in captivity may be expected to facilitate further studies of infantile paralysis, including the search for a possible cure."
Lawrence Woman Gives Rare Jewelry to Spooner-Thayer
Several pieces of rare jewelry have been added to the Spooner-Thayer museum collection by Mrs. Luther Lewis, Lawrence. The jewelry is made of hair by a complicated process. The necklace in the exhibit is especially rare, as few of the necklaces were ever made. The collection is from the famous Lewis heirloom jewelry.
Miss Gertrude Welch, Lawrence, recently gave the museum six pieces of early nineteenth century jewelry. Especially attractive in this exhibit brooches, one jet and pearl, and the other an amethyst.
Fifty-Five Enrolled in New Course Fifty-five students have enrolled in a new lecture-demonstration course in physics under Prof. J. D. Stranathan. The course is a survey of physics and has no laboratory. The prerequisites are one year of high school algebra and one year of high school geometry. All former physics courses have required from five to seven hours of college mathematics.
The study is designed to satisfy the needs of students who desire to know the basic principles of physics and at the same time to reduce the great expenditure of both time and money which is required by an extensive laboratory course in physics.
