STILL ON VACATION?—Watson Library was nearly empty this raoring. Only a few students
showed up to resume the studies they had dropped over the Thanksgiving holidays.
KU Lawyers Beat Washburn to Gain National Finals in Court Contest
Three KU law students will go to New York Dec. 17-19 to compete in the National Moot Court Competition.
The team is made up of Robert L. Howard, Emporia, John R. Eland, Topeka, and Edward J. Chapman, Jr., Lawrence. All are third-year law students.
The three-man court defeated Washburn University recently at Washington University in St. Louis
in the final round of the Regional Moot Court Competition. Both teams will go to the national contest.
The regional competition was judged by local court judges and St. Louis lawyers. The final round was judged by three Federal judges.
The competition in New York will be judged by a United States Supreme Court Justice and New York judges and practicing lawyers.
Howard was presented a silver
bowl as the best advocate among the participating students from the 11 universities entered.
Paul E. Wilson, associate professor of law, sponsors the group.
The moot court argues for or against a case in a fictitious trial before the judges.
Since the start of football at KU in 1890, KU has had five All America players.
Ready to Stagnate, TV Must Improve
Bruce Linton, associate professor of speech and journalism, said these sponsors always prefer to put something on the air that has been tried.
A faculty member said TV will "go down the hill to stagnation" unless sponsors become more willing to experiment.
Prof. Linton agree with the president of the CBS television network, Louis G. Cowan, who said TV does not cater to the 12-year-old mind. Prof. Linton said.
"It is easy to talk about the 12-year-old mind or the mass audience, but this audience is composed of groups of individuals."
Prof. Linton pointed out the individual differences within the audience:
"A western is said to appeal to the mass audience, but how do you explain the successful business executive who watches TV to get his mind off his work?"
Mr. Cowan said it is a wonder television as is good as it is.
He then urged the television industry and advertisers to promote real "creativity" among writers and performers.
"The industry should have the courage to back them in efforts to create art rather than follow proven formats," he said.

Artery Study Uses Rabbits
Dr. D. G. Wenzel, professor of pharmacy who did research on the effects of nicotine and cholesterol on rabbits, said 10 times more animals died over a six-month period when subjected to both nicotine and cholesterol than have animals subjected to one or the other.
Six per cent of the rabbits died which had been receiving either nicotine or cholesterol. This is a normal death rate. Sixty per cent of the rabbits which received both died.
Cholesterol is a white, fatty alcohol found in bile, egg yolk and especially in nerve tissue.
Dr. Wenzel said that when nicotine and cholesterol were administered to the rabbits they developed a condition similar to that of a coronary in human beings. It was found that the veins of these rabbits had been damaged.
