Professor Sees Age of Algae
Have a bowl of algae for dinner.
Go on, it contains all the protein,
carbohydrates and other nutrients
you need for a strong healthy body.
A KU professor of geography told one of his classes recently it might be necessary to turn to algae if a successful method of birth control isn't found.
"Algae can be grown high in protein, carbohydrates or fats...and besides being able to feed a large population, desert land will be utilized. In Japan an enriched algae-and-flour bread is already on the market."
"Scientists have discovered that certain types of algae grow easily when placed in shallow tanks in desert sun and irrigated by ocean water." George Jenks said.
He blamed the huge population increase on the improvements of health and medicine, farming methods and transportation.
"Every year India adds enough people to equal the entire population of Canada," he said.
"Many people of the world fear that someday there will be too many people to feed, and it is well-known now that half the population goes to bed hungry at night."
"Just think, some day you may sit down to a bowl of algae instead of steak for dinner."
The class shuddered bodily.
Arab Leader

Budget Cut Raises KU Teaching Load
Editor's note: This is the second in a series on the effects of proposed decreases in the KU budget. The budget is now being reviewed by Dov. Docking and will be sent to the legislature next month.
By Jane Boyd
A question being asked by KU administrators is: "How much more can the teaching load be increased before it affects the quality of teaching?"
The current teaching load has been increased because the last legislature did not appropriate funds with which KU could increase its staff. This year's enrollment showed an increase of 173 students, which means larger classes and increased teaching load.
Ray Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said the enrollment would increase by at least 100, if not more next year. He said a lack of additional faculty would mean that somewhere, someone would have a larger class.
The state budget division has recommended that this item in KU's budget be cut again this year in spite of the prospect of another increase of enrollment.
In commenting on the teaching load Mr. Nichols said:
"It is traditional at KU to have one instructor for every 15 students. If we had an increase of only 100 students next year, we should expect to get seven new teachers. We only asked for four."
He said that while the request was minimal it was necessary in order to maintain a high teaching standard at KU.
Even if we got four, there would still be a slight increase in the teaching load.
"It is like the straw on the camel's back—you do not know how much more the camel can hold."
Mr. Nichols pointed out that KU's one to 15 ratio is above the recommended ratio made by the
Two Have Clean Slate
SYDNEY, Australia — (UPI)— Only two outstanding boxers in modern ring history went through their professional careers without a defeat or a draw. They were Rocky Marciano of Massachusetts, retired heavyweight champion, after 49 bouts, and Jimmy Carruthers of Australia, retired bantamweight champion, after 19 bouts.
President's Commission on Higher Education.
The commission recommends; at the junior college level, one to 20; at the junior-senior level, one to 13, and at the graduate level, one to 10.
The recommendations of the budget committee have been forwarded to the governor for his consideration. Gov. Docking will present his formal budget recommendation to the legislature prior to their budget hearing session in January.
Mexican Trip Plans Known
Members of the International Club have released plans for their 1959 Holiday trip to Mexico.
Two chartered busses will leave the KU campus on Saturday and will travel 30 hours non-stop to Monterrey, Mexico.
According to club president Chris Constantinides, Manchester, England, graduate student, the itinerary includes stops at San Miguel, historical art colony of Mexico and Guanjuato, famous for its natural hot springs. They will enter Mexico City on Christmas Dav.
The tour of the capital city will take them to the ancient Toltec pyramids and, in contrast, to the ultra-modern University of Mexico. Two side trips, one to Oaxaca and one to Acapulco, will also be taken by the KU visitors.
The group will leave Mexico Jan. 1 for the return trip to Lawrence.
