Princeton Chemist Views KU as Superior School
A visiting chemistry professor said yesterday in a Daily Kansan interview that he thought the University of Kansas was one of the better places to get a degree in chemistry.
N. Howell Furman, the Richard Wellman Moore professor of chemistry at Princeton University, is on the campus this week as the first lecturer of the Henry Werner Lecture Series.
"I consider it a great honor to be the first person to be invited to speak in a new lectureship series," Dr. Furman said.
Dr. Furman will talk today at 4 p.m. in Malott Hall on "Advances in Coulometry" and Friday on "Recent Developments in Chronopotentiometry."
Ed Dolson, Kansas City, Mo., junior, will be business manager for the publications.
Bill Barn, Dodge City sophomore has been selected editor of the K-Book and KU Datebook for the next school year. He was the assistant editor of the books this year.
The applicants were chosen on the basis of interviews by the All Student Council Publications Committee. Ken Wagnon, Wichita junior was the editor for the publications this year.
"I am pleased with the diversified activity in the chemistry department here. The faculty is a good one and there are many fine graduate students here who are alert to most of the best methods in their fields. They also have the best equipment to work with.
The K-Book is printed during the summer and sent to all incoming freshmen.
Editor Named For Datebook
Bill Barr has also been appointed as acting editor of "Fowl." campus humor magazine. He has been assistant editor for the magazine. The ASC committee has accepted the resignation of Scott Jarvis, Winfield sophomore, the editor of the magazine now on sale.

KU-Y Panel Topic Is Sex
The question of "Sex Revolution and Sex Ethics" will be discussed at a panel of two men and a woman at 7:30 tomorrow night at a KU-Y forum in Parlor C of the Kansas Union.
Patricia Patterson, assistant dean of women, the Rev, Roy Turner, Episcopalian student pastor, and Harold Gould, instructor in sociology, will participate.
ADVENTURES IN SOCIAL SCIENCE: NO.2
Today, with earnestness and sobriety, we make the second of our forays into social science. We take up the most basic of all social sciences—sociology itself.
Sociology teaches us that man is a social animal. It is not instinct or heredity that determines his conduct; it is environment. This fact is vividly borne out when you consider the case of Julio Sigafoos.
Julio, abandoned as an infant in a dark wood near Cleveland, was adopted by a pack of wild dogs and reared as one of their own. When Julio was found by a hunter at the age of twelve, the poor child was more canine than human. He ran on all fours, barked and growled, ate raw meat, lapped water with his tongue, and could neither speak nor understand one single word. In short, he was a complete product of his environment.
Julio, incidentally, was more fortunate than most wild children. They never become truly humanized, but Julio was exceptional. Bit by bit, he began to talk and walk and eat and drink as people do. His long-dormant mental processes, when awakened at last, turned out to be fantastically acute. He was so bright that he learned to read and write in a month, got through grammar school in three years, and high school in two. And last June as thousands of spectators, knowing the odds Julio had overcome, stood and raised cheer after cheer, he was graduated valedictorian from Cal Tech with a degree in astrophysics!
Who can say to what towering heights this incredible boy would have risen had he not been killed the day after commencement while chasing a car?
But I digress. To return to sociology, people tend to gather in groups—a tendency that began, as we all know, with the introduction of Marlboro Cigarettes. What an aid to sociality they are! How benignly one looks upon one's fellows after puffing on Marlboro's filter that really filters, on Marlboro's flavor that's really flavorful. How eager it makes one to extend the hand of friendship! How grateful we all are to Marlboro for making possible this togetherness! How good not to live in the bleak pre-Marlboro world with every man a stranger!
Ug, a Polynesian had, grew up in an idyllic South Sea isle where the leading event of the year was the feast of Max, the sun god. A quint all-day ceremony was held, with tribal dancing, war chants, fat-lady races, pie-eating contests, and, for the grand finale, the sacrifice of two dozen maidens.
The groups that people live in today (thanks to Mariboro) vary widely in their customs. What is perfectly acceptable in one society may be quite outlandish in another. Take, for instance, the case of Ug Van Wvck.
According to Ug's folkways, sacrificing maidens was entirely acceptable, but when, in his eighteenth year, he was sent as an exchange student to the University of Wisconsin, he soon learned that Americans take a dim view of this practice—in Wisconsin, at any rate. The first fifteen or twenty maidens Ug sacrificed, he was let off with a warning. When, however, he persisted, drastic measures were taken: he was depledded by his fraternity. A broken man, Ug quit school and moved to Milwaukee where today he earns a meager living as a stein.
