Radiation Research Reveals New Problems
Research in radiation effects has uncovered new problems, an expert in the field of radiation study said yesterday.
Speaking informally at the Faculty Club, Frank E. Hoecker, professor of radiation biophysics, said that the last fifteen years have revealed problems which should be solved before more study is made.
"Since 1945, the year that ushered in the Radiation Age, problems in waste disposal of radioactive products and shielding in hospitals from X-rays are two common problems that have evolved."
Radium Used in 1912
He said that radium had been used in hospitals as early as 1912 when it was used in experiments in connection with arthritic effects, but the increased use of X-rays to diagnose ailments has made the public more conscious of radioactive effects.
"The problem of radiation protection has given the medical profession more trouble than anything else in the past few years," he said.
The issue is in the shielding from X-rays. He mentioned that X-ray rooms in many hospitals were poorly shielded if shielded at all. With the recent attention focused on radiation, the medical profession must provide both adequate shielding and education on the difference between necessary and non-necessary radiation.
No Solution
With regards to the problem of waste disposal, he said there is yet no solution to the problem.
Before 1940 there was comparatively little radioactive material in the United States, today there is a great deal. We must find how to get rid of it safely," he said.
Any radioactive waste material in Kansas is dumped in a field of abandoned salt mines near Hutchinson.
Edmonds, Hines Win Law Day Moot Court Competition
Law students at KU celebrated their annual Law Day Thursday with a moot court competition which saw fledgling lawyers argue cases before judges.
After the moot court competition, the students met at a banquet in the Kansas Union to grant awards.
The moot court competition was won by N. William Hines and Robert Edmonds, both second-year students from Lawrence. Hines also won the $75 William L. Burdick Prize for achieving the highest grades in his class during his first year.
The participants in the moot court were chosen for their outstanding court performance last fall.
At the awards banquet, five men were named to the KU chapter of
the order of the Coif, the legal organization recognizing scholastic achievement. Those seniors selected are:
Donald Meeker, Leavenworth;
James Graves, Lawrence; Larry
Baker, Wichita; Edward Larson,
Vesper, and Jack Brand, Lawrence.

German Denies Bias
In commenting on the present situation of the Jews in Germany, he said secondary school textbooks have all the necessary information to give an uncontestable account of the period.
(Continued from page 1) stated anti-Semitism as a program for action.
One of the conclusions Prof. Hubatsch drew to show the feelings of the German people on the question was the attitude of the people in 1914 and in 1939.
Germans Defended Homeland
"In 1914 the Germans felt it necessary to defend their homeland and there were many volunteers. But in 1939 there was no enthusiasm for the war. It was a very important difference as it became quite clear for all to see who was guilty of the war and the eventual suffering."
Prof. Hubatsch said people in the United States do not realize that there were active groups opposing anti-Semitic policies in Germany during World War II.
