Play Contest Winner Says She's the Happiest Person
Mrs. Miriam Roffman, who lives in Honolulu, Hawaii, has won first prize in the playwriting contest sponsored by the department of speech and drama and the Centron Motion Picture Corp., Lawrence.

Geologists Break Precedent Here
The annual meeting of the Association of American State Geologists is being held in Kansas for the first time in the 51-year history of the organization.
The meeting, being conducted this week on campus, is sponsored by the Kansas Geological Survey. More than 30 states are represented.
The geologists are discussing their administrative and research problems centered on efficient methods of investigating the rocks and mineral resources of the various states. They will spend two days in the field studying rock formations between Lawrence and Hutchinson this week.

HIXON STUDIO
Mrs. Roffman's prize winning play will be produced in the Experimental Theatre May 4-9. For each performance the author will receive $25.
The play, "The Long Shadow," is a story of an aging man paroled from prison and the difficulties which society puts in the way of his return to being a normal citizen.

In the play the blame for his situation is not placed on individuals but on society. Each character is portrayed as "blameless."
She did undergraduate work at the University of Wisconsin and took a course in creative writing last year at the University of Hawaii.
Mrs. Roffman is still a figure of mystery to the department of speech and drama. She sent a letter to the department in which she told only a few details about herself.
"The Long Shadow" is the first full-length play that she has attempted although she won first prize in a one-act play contest.
The new mammalian genetics laboratory, constructed to connect on the west side of Snow Hall, will be ready for occupancy "sometime in the early fall," said John Weir, associate professor of zoology.

"During a recent meeting of cancer specialists in Houston, Tex., Dr. Howard Andervont, who is chief of biology laboratories for the National Cancer Institute, emphasized that the most significant work on cancer made use of inbred mice," Prof. Weir said.
The mice are being raised and maintained for the Cancer Chemo Therapy Screening Program at the universities of Michigan and Florida and KU.
Besides research in cancer, the mammalian laboratory will provide facilities for research in mammalian genetics to train graduate students.
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.
"We are hoping to obtain one more full-time genetics faculty member, also," Prof. Weir said.
