KU Men Subject Of Research Study
Two University of Kansas professors are planning to use KU male students as subjects in a study of body fat in relation to the body's response to activity.
E. R. Elbel, professor of physical education, and Frederick Samson, associate professor of physiology, will conduct the experiment with support of a $5,016 grant from the U.S. Public Health Service.
The study will be done in an attempt to determine the relationship between cardio-vascular and respiratory responses to measured amounts of exercise and the proportion of body fat in humans.
Tests on athletes known to be in very good physical condition as a result of active seasonal sports will be compared with non-athletes who are not participants in physical programs.
Each subject will be tested individually after relatively mild forms of standardized physical work or exercise for such things as oxygen uptake and pulse rate. Much of the exercising and testing will be done in the physiology of exercise laboratory of Allen Field House.
65 Japanese Dolls Featured in Union
A display of about 65 Japanese dolls is being exhibited this month in the south lounge of the Kansas Union.
Organized by the Kokusai Bunka Shinkokai (Society for International Cultural Relations) in Tokyo, the exhibit is sponsored by the Japan Society, Inc., in New York, and is being circulated among American and Canadian museums by the Smithsonian Institution.
The dolls, made by contemporary craftsmen or manufacturers, are in traditional style and range from folk dolls to standard commercially manufactured dolls. The high proportion of folk dolls emphasizes the theatrical history of Japan.

Professors Study College Physiques
Edwin R. Elbel, professor of physical education, is conducting a study of height and weight of college men and women, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the Health Service, is his co-investigator.
The U. S. Public Health Service has granted $5,629 for the project which will compare the sizes of present day university and college students, based upon height and weight, with data secured in 1928-30.
The data will be used to determine whether there have been significant changes in the growth pattern and for preparing height and weight tables for university students.
