CAT'S DELIGHT—The new $220,000 mammalian genetics laboratory at the back of Snow Hall is ready for occupancy with the exception of certain amounts of equipment. The new building will house mice used for cancer research.
Job Security Sessions On
A five-week Employment Security Counselors Institute supported by the United States Employment Service began here this week with 20 persons enrolled.
The institute, first of its kind at KU, is a concentrated training program to supplement professional training of employment counselors and interviewers. In addition to 100 hours of classwork, the students will receive practical experience in interviewing.
The program is divided into nine areas such as basic principles of guidance, psychology of individual differences, personality adjustment and mental hygiene and personnel appraisal procedures.
Institute teachers include members of the KU faculty and Guidance Bureau staff and Gerald Green, assistant director of the Vocational Rehabilitation Office, Kansas City, Mo., Dr. Ralph Kron of the University of Michigan and Dr. Donald Harder of the University of California.

Genetics Laboratory Nears Completion
The new mammalian genetics laboratory, located adjacent to the north side of Snow Hall, should be ready for occupancy by Sept. 1, according to J. A. Weir, associate professor of zoology.
Built at a cost of $220,099 and inaptly dubbed the "Mouse House," the new structure is connected to Snow Hall by an entrance way.
Professor Weir said that the building is finished and has been accepted from the contractor by the University. At present, he said, certain amounts of equipment are being fabricated within the building in preparation for receiving some 3,000 matings of a special inbred strain of mice used for cancer research. Each mating consists of a male, female, and from two to ten offspring.
Professor Weir said transfering of the "live material" from the laboratory's present location at the stadium will take some time as a set "ritual" has to be followed during the operation.
The mice are being raised and maintained for the Cancer Chemotherapy Screening program at the Universities of Michigan, Florida, and KU.
The new building will be staffed by Prof. Weir, who will direct the genetics project, four graduate zoology students, two laboratory

technicians, an animal husbandry expert, and other members of the department of zoology concerned with mammalian genetics.
Besides research in cancer, the mammalian laboratory will provide facilities for research in mammalian genetics to train graduate students.

The building was primarily financed by a $190,000 anonymous gift.
One University of Kansas professor and four engineering students are among the 38 faculty and students from 13 Midwestern colleges and universities participating in the eighth summer technical program at the Boeing Airplane Co., Wichita division.
Ammon S. Andes, chairman of the KU aeronautical engineering department, is the teacher. Students are Larry L. Jones of Milford; Dean T. McCall, Kansas City, Mo.; John F. McDonald, Mission, and James Metzger, Lecon.
