Journal May Change KU's Overseas Image
Page 5
The most recent scholarly publication at the University promises to change the international image of KU, according to L. C. Masterman, exchange and gift librarian, here on a visiting appointment from the University of Sydney, Australia.
Masterman referred to the Journal of the Central Mississippi Valley American Studies Association, which was moved to KU this spring.
"The strength of our list of exchange materials has for years been on the side of the natural sciences." Masterman said. "This gives overseas universities the impression that KU is interested only in the natural sciences."
The new KU publication, presenting regional aspects of American Studies, will further the "excellent international outlook at KU." Mastermil believes.
The Journal is edited by Stuart Levine, instructor of English and American Civilization.
Of the 14 University of Kansas publications now exchanged with foreign universities, ten are in the fields of science, education and business. Leading in overseas circulation is the Museum of Natural History Publications, which is sent to 1.038 foreign universities.
Runners-up are the University of Kansas Science Bulletin, 530, and Paleontological Contributions. 324.
In contrast, the Museum of Art Register, leader of the liberal arts publications, reaches 161 foreign schools, and the Social Science Studies goes to 64.
Other KU publications sent abroad are Kansas Business Review, Bulletin of Education, Kansas Studies in Education, Bulletin of Engineering and Architecture, Humanistic Studies, Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science, Museum of Natural History Miscellaneous Publications, Library Series, and Logan Clendening Lectures from the KU Medical Center.
Cosmetic Staple Solves Old Problem For Brain Surgeons
CHICAGO—(UPI)—Hair spray—the non-lacquer kind —has been used in place of head shaving for women having brain surgery.
A Washington, D. C. neurosurgeon, Dr. Jonathan M. Williams, developed the technique, described in the Journal of the International College of Surgeons.
Williams reported using the spray on 31 women, none of whom developed infections after brain surgery.
Williams has the patient wash her
hair five times, in the three to five days before surgery, with a detergent-hexachloraphene shampoo, which makes the scalp practically sterile.
After the patient is anesthetized, Williams said, her hair is moistened, parted along the line of intended incision, combed into small pony tails and sprayed. The physician said the spray helps destroy germs.
He reported trying the same technique on men, but failing because hair was too short to twist.
"The Face of Red China," a 57 minute film report on conditions inside Communist China, will be shown at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in Room 3, Bailey Hall. The film used in the picture was photographed in November and December 1958. The movie was produced by CBS Television. Admission is free.

MOSCOW — (UPI) — U.S. Navy aircraft buzzed a Soviet scientific ship off the American east coast twice last week, the official news agency Tass reported Monday.

Tass said a U.S. Navy seascape bearing the number 6495 spent four hours "flying low and diving" over the ship Mikhail Lomonosov Friday. The Soviet vessel was reported 341 miles off the coast.
"On the following morning another warplane of the United States, carrying the number 0267, again appeared not far from the Mikhail Lomonosov and for a long time circled over the Soviet ship at a low altitude," Tass said.
