Instructor Joins Physiology Staff
Dr. Sutherland has been a research fellow at the California Institute of Technology and a teaching assistant at the University of Southern California. His research has included study of blood substitutes for transfusions and study of blood protein changes that occur as a result of long exposure to cold. He will continue research work in this area in addition to teaching medical students and undergraduates.
Dr. G. Bonar Sutherland has been added to the physiology department faculty at the University with the rank of instructor.
The department of botany has received a gift of 140 slides of Rice County wild flowers from Horace Jones, editor of the Lyons Daily News.
Mr. Jones has one of the finest collections of wild flower slides in the state. During the summer he discovered a species of plant in the sand hill area of Rice County which had not previously been known to exist north of southern Oklahoma.

Γau Siama To Meet Todav
Tau Sigma, modern dance fraternity for both men and women, will hold its first meeting at 7:15 p.m. today in Robinson Gymnasium. A film on basic movement will be shown, and work will be planned for the semester. Members are admitted only through tryouts, which will be held Tuesday, September 25.
HANDLE WITH CARE—The prickly little creature is an echidna, brought from Australia to KU for a research study by the anatomy department. The echidna, sometimes called the spiny anteater, has characteristics of reptiles and mammals. When alarmed, the echidna raises its quills and rolls itself into a ball to protect its stomach, its most vulnerable spot. Gingerly holding the echidna, which is really quite tame, is Floyd Foltz, Mitchall S. Dak, graduate student.

Entomologists To Study Housefly Genetics In Lab
A laboratory for the study of housefly genetics is being established at the University.
Robert R. Sokal, assistant professor of entomology, said the laboratory may be the only one of its kind in the world. It is in the rear of Hoch Auditorium and has been equipped by the University and the Office of the Surgeon General, Department of the Army.
Dr. Sokal has been studying housefly genetics in relation to insecticide resistance since he came to KU five years ago, but this is the first exclusive study he has made. The study is being made possible by a contract with the Office of the Surgeon General, which provides $20,520 for two years.
The problem of insecticide resistance can be attacked from two angles, heredity or insecticide, Dr. Sokal said. He will try to find what makes flies resistant or to develop an insecticide that will kill them.
Eventually the project will be expanded to study the genetics of DDT resistant flies. The entomologists will attempt to discover how many different kinds of resistances the flies have.
Dr. Robert L. Sullivan has joined the proect as a full-time research associate. He received the Ph.D. degree in genetics from North Carolina State College. Miss Stella Pearce, who received a B.S. degree from Oxford University in England, will also be a research assistant.
Dieting Is For The Rats; Hunger Studied At KU
"Our studies so far represent some of the first clear evidence that substances in the blood affect appetite." Dr. Fleming said. "We still don't know whether the substances are released from the digestive tract or whether food causes the release."
The KU study is the first application of parabiotic rats to the study of hunger. Twenty-one-day-old rats were joined along one side from ear to tail, making them surgically produced Siamese twins. They were then trained to eat their food in a 3-hour period while in a partitioned cage which permitted each some freedom of movement but prevented access to food and water given the partner.
Diet-conscious students will be interested to know that research into one of their problems, hunger, is taking place in laboratories from coast-to-coast.
One of the laboratories is on the Hill where Dr. David G. Fleming, assistant professor of physiology, is conducting studies on the effects of different feeding times on the appetites of parabiotic rats. The National Science Foundation recently granted $13,800 for a 2-year period for the project.
Supported by University research funds ince its beginning a year ago, the project was planned to investigate the physiological factors which control appetite. It is known that a portion of the barin, the hypothalamus, and certain substances in the blood have much to do with that control. But just what their functions are remains a mystery.
Using this technique, the brain factor can be separated from the circulation factor, Dr. Fleming explained. If a nervous factor is the
Dr. Fleming termed the "major finding" so far indication that a conditioning period takes place in the body when a change in food consumption is made. Dieters know the feeling—they're hungry at first until they adapt to a new level of food intake.
cause of any change in food intake, only one animal responds. If the cause is something in the blood, both animals respond, because their circulatory systems are joined.
To establish proof, Dr. Fleming first trained the animals to eat the same amount of food when they were fed together. When one rat was fed two hours before its mate, the second animal ate 20 per cent less than the first. In a second control period, the second rat still ate less than the first, although they were fed simultaneously.
Then the feeding of the second rat before the first was undertaken. For several weeks the rat previously fed first still ate more but there was a gradual shift in food consumption until the rat fed first began to eat more than its partner. About four weeks later, the differences were reversed—rat B, now fed first, ate more and rat A, now fed second, ate less.
What's up for the coming year? "We want to try to relate the nervous factors with the circulatory factors," said Dr. Fleming. "If we can define the role of the hypothalamus we think we will have made a large step."
Correction
The Women's Athletic Association will meet at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Robinson Gymnasium, not 4 p.m. as it was reported to the Daily Kansan.
FBI Finds Lost Fashions
KANSAS CITY—(UP) —Disappearance of a New York designer's $250,000 fall collection of fashions, which set off whispers of piracy in the industry, was the result of a shipping error, the FBI revealed today.
The valuable originals were recovered by agents Monday. They were found in care of Braniff Airlines at New Orleans where they had been "misdirected," according to special agent Percy Wyly II of the Kansas City FBI office.
"No federal violation was involved," Mr. Wryly said, "and the FBI plans no further action in the case. The owner can obtain the merchandise by appropriate identification."
The disappearance was disclosed Monday by Miss Pauline Trigere, a Parisian designer. The dresses and furs disappeared last Wednesday from the municipal airport in Kansas City.
5 Attend Meeting Of Psychologists
Dr. Edward Wike, assistant professor of psychology, read his research paper, "Some Training Conditions Affecting Secondary Reinforcement," at the convention.
Five men from the University's department of psychology attended the 64th annual convention of the American Psychological Association August 30 to September 5 in Chicago.
D. Dr. Erik Wright, professor of clinical psychology, attended a meeting of the representatives of the clinical training program. Dr. Herbert Wright, professor of psychology and a representative in the division of developmental psychology, took part in the division's sessions.
Dr. John Michael and Dr. Bert Kaplan, assistant professors of psychology, were also at the convention.
