Fat Living Ahead-If You Are a Mouse
A $220,000 "mouse palace" is being constructed on the north side of Snow Hall.
The din of workmen and pneumatic hammers is terrific. There are six floors in Snow Hall and all of them are noisy.
Though this is a real problem to the professors, students, and technicians who work in Snow Hall, there is a good natured acceptance of the disruption which a "mouse hotel" is causing.
"I'm a very long-suffering person," E. H. Taylor, professor of zoology, said, "but progress is our most important product."
Prof. Taylor, whose specialty is frogs, said he has no comment about the "mouse hotel." He did say, however, that he understood
the mice, who currently reside at the Stadium, do not play football
There must be a need, then, for the unathletic mice to have a new home.
"We're living with it, but that's about it," Robert W. Baxter, associate professor of botany, said.
Prof. Baxter lectures a class of 60 people which means that some of his students are 12 rows away and hard to reach above the clatter.
"I have to work with it here, but it probably doesn't bother me as much as it does the workmen. A man G. Hunt, biological technician, said.
Mr. Hunt laughed when he noted that the new "hotel" would be air conditioned.
"If you're not a fly or a mouse, you don't get air conditioning here," he said.
Construction for the Mammalian Genetics Center started at the end of September. The building will be completed early in the spring.
John Weir, associate professor of zoology, will be in charge of the research work of the center after it is completed.
"Three-fourths of the money for the new $220,000 building was a gift from an anonymous donor." Keith Lawton, director of physical plant operation and administrative assistant to the chancellor, said.
A renewal of the third $30,000 grant for training and research and a second grant of $8,000 for a test of the theory of inbreeding of mice have been received from the U.S. Public Health Service.
Decision on Postponement Of Rush Teas Is Tonight
Many strains of mice will be bred. Some of the mice will be used in cancer studies.
studies in blood alkalinity and disease resistance, skin grafting, genetics and physiology of sex, ratio and inheritance of white blood cells, and inbreeding.
The surplus mice will be made available to private research companies conducting similar studies.
Work at the center will include
The federal government is providing the equipment and the operating budget for the planned studies
A decision whether to postpone the freshman rush teas Nov. 22 will be made tonight in the various Greek houses, the Panhellenic Council decided at a noon meeting today.

The afternoon rush teas are now scheduled on the same day as a student migration to the KU-University of Missouri football game in Columbia.
The Council said the alternatives were postponing or doing away with the teas this semester, going ahead with the teas as scheduled, or holding coffee nights Dec. 2 and 4.
The largest season home attendance for a KU football team was 172,000 in 1952.

The Council said they were making it an association vote of all the houses rather than a Council vote because of the controversy involved.
Henderson said the students will get the information from the clerk of each county in the second district. The number of votes cast for each party's candidates in the different wards of every precinct will be listed, and a list of the number of registered voters in each county also will be forwarded to each county's Central Committee.
Parking violations:
Campus ... 2840 4402
City ... 262 301
Moving traffic violations ... 85 3
James H. Henderson, Wichita junior and the group's publicity chairman, said the information will be sent to each county's Republican Central Committee and forwarded from there to the party's state headquarters.
Traffic Statistics
The KU Young Republicans will begin a survey tomorrow in the second district to determine the areas of Republican party weakness in the Nov. 4 election.
Young GOP to Begin Survey
The KU group also will assist Collegiate Young Republicans from other Kansas schools in surveying the rest of the state.
