"A whole generation of young people has grown up hearing about the 'regionalist' movement in the Midwest," Mr. Maser said. "They have come to the museum in great numbers, prompted by a genuine curiosity about the development of American art as well as by the desire to judge for themselves those paintings about which they have heard so much."
Benton Exhibit Most Popular At Art Museum
The most popular exhibition ever held at KU is the retrospective exhibition of 70 works of art by Thomas Hart Benton. the regionalist painter from Missouri, according to Edward A. Maser, museum of art director. They are now on display in the museum.
He said that the first printing of catalogs of the exhibition had been exhausted and that a second printing had been necessary.
"We have no way of estimating the number of people who have come to see the exhibition, but it is in the thousands," Mr. Maser said.
Before the exhibition closes May 18, the museum staff expects to have had the largest number of visitors in its history during a comparable period of time, he said. The exhibit opened April 14.
Museum hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 1:30 to 5 p.m. Sundays. On May 15, however, the museum's films on art series will have its final program of the year. On that date, the entire museum will be open from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Balfour Gets Grant For Research
Dr. William M. Balfour, who holds a U. S. Public Health Service fellowship at the University of Kansas, has received a $500 supply grant from the Service for use in a physiology research project he is working on.
The project, "A study of the Free Energy Requirement for Viability of Central and Peripheral Nervous Tissue," is directed by Dr. Fred E. Samson, assistant professor of physiology.
The research involves measuring the length of time the rat brain will survive when all known energy-supplying reactions have been stopped, and what effect such agencies as temperature, sedatives, hormones, and age have upon the brain's survival time. The energy-supplying reactions are stopped by use of certain inhibitors and by cutting off the supply of oxygen.

Public Health Grant To Aid Mammalian Center Program
The U. S. Public Health Service will provide a second-year grant of $50,435 for setting up the program in the Mammalian Center, Dr. John Weir, associate professor of zoology and director of the project announced today.
The money is part of a three-year grant of $150,000 to aid the new program which is under way now on a small scale in remodeled quarters under Memorial Stadium. An addition will be built on Snow Hall which will house one of the nation's key installations in biological research. The Center also will be used for the preservation of trust stocks of special inbred lines of mice used in cancer research programs.
