University Of Air' Series Has College-Level Subjects

"The University of the Air," is an hour long program of subjects on a college level for listeners within a 70-mile radius of KU.
Prof's Article Published
A description of an abnormal tubal 3 mm. human embryo and a request for specimens of human embryos of less than an age of five or six weeks were included in a scientific article by Paul G. Roofe, professor of anatomy, in the current issue of the Journal of the Kansas Medical Society.
The rare type of embryo described by Dr. Roofe in his article is known as an iniencephalus, and although the factors involved in abnormal development are little known, they can be related to two major areas, heredity and environment.
Dr. Roofe said there are definite hereditary factors operating in such defects, such as the lack of all or parts of appendages. Cleft palate and cleft lip may be in this category too.
Insurance Meeting Invites KU Man
"On the environmental side," Dr. Roofe's article continued, "we have very little to go on. Physical factors, such as temperature and radiation play a major role in producing abnormalities. Temperature, however, may be ruled out in the case of mammalian irregularities of form and structure."

The phrase "sardonic laughter" is derived from the name of the island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean. An herb growing there was once believed to make anyone who ate it laugh himself to death.
In this area there are approximately 250,000 persons who have access to an FM receiver.
The series of programs, originated by KANU last year, covers a wide variety of topics, from "The Roots of Jazz" to "Home and Family Life."
Sources of material for the broadcasts come from happenings at the University, educational programs from other schools, and educational and cultural subjects distributed by the National Association of Education Broadcasters.
A complete 3-hour course, "The Life and Teachings of Jesus," taught by Dr. Harold G. Barr, dean of the school of Religion, is one of the programs.
"The idea for these educational programs," said R. Edwin Browne, assistant professor of radio and director of KANU, "has grown from the feeling that the campus radio station has a responsibility to present, in an organized way, programs on a university level.
Surveys have shown that persons who listen to a radio lecture retain more of the material than a student listening to the same lecture in a classroom.
"Aside from being a good music station, we consider it an obligation to our listeners to provide something a little more cultural than what is usually heard on commercial radio stations."
