Campus Briefs KU To Study Tribute To City Bypasses Dr. Twente
A study of the effects of bypass highways on cities will be made by the KU Bureau of Business Research for the State Highway Commission.
The one-year research project will be directed by Paul E. Malone director of the bureau.
The contract is for $9,500, of which 70 per cent will come from federal funds. The study, which was first requested by the United States Bureau of Public Roads, is a companion to one being made at Kansas State College on effects of highway construction on rural land use and value.
The study will consider the effect by-passes have on urban land values, land use and the pattern and volume of retail trade.
A pilot study will first be made in Lawrence covering 23rd, Iowa and 6th Streets which provide four-lane passages on three sides of the city. Additional surveys will be made in several other Kansas cities.
Senior Faculty Members Return
KU will regain the services of two senior faculty members this week as the spring semester begins.
Dr. Raymond C. Moore, professor of geology and principal geologist of the State Geological Survey, was on leave to be Walker-Ames distinguished visiting professor at the University of Washington in Seattle.
Dr. Russell C. Mills, chairman of the department of biochemistry, is returning following a year's sabbatical leave. He has been doing research in the laboratories of the department of physiological chemistry at the University of Minnesota.
Folklore Authority Is Visiting Professor
Dr. Stith Thompson, authority on folklore, will be visiting professor of English at KU for the spring semester.

At KU Dr. Thompson will teach an undergraduate course in the folk tale and related forms and direct graduate research in that area.

He has been principal of Warrenton High School, superintendent of schools at Baxter Springs, Kan., and head of the department of education and psychology at the University of New Hampshire.

Around The World
(Compiled from United Press)
High diplomatic sources in Washington expected President Eisenhower to move quickly to follow up Explorer's globe-girdling flights with some form of new pressure on Russia to agree to his plan for international control of space.
There have been suggestions that the President appear personally before a special session of the United Nations General Assembly to urge support of his "space-for-peace" proposal.
Space Control Plan Seen
At Cape Canaveral, Fla., Navy rocket men prepared the slender Vanguard Sunday to blast up another man-made moon. Firing is expected sometime this week.
In New York City, the success o. the Explorer gave the stockmarket a lift today with companies engaged in any way in rocketry or missile building active and firm. The rise spread to all departments of the market.
In Brussels, Belgium, at the world headquarters of the International Geophysical Year, Russia failed
again today to reveal what information its "sputniks" have extracted from outer space.
A long-awaited Soviet report, purporting to contain scientific information about Russia's artificial satellites, actually consisted entirely of communiques published weeks ago in the Moscow Press.
In Washington, Reps. Melvin Price (D-III) and James E. Van Zandt (R-Pa) proposed today that $500 college scholarships—"with no strings attached"—be awarded to every high school senior who can pass a fairly tough mathematics test.
The administrations 4-year one-billion dollar education program was put forward at public hearings conducted jointly by two House education subcommittees.
and townspeople to lock their doors and cars after one farm house was battered open near Cimarron Sunday night. Listeners were also told to take inside any gasoline barrels they owned.
Lawmen called off roadblocks in the desolate sand-dune country east of Garden City today, after an allnight search in sub-freezing temperatures for three escaped Texas prisoners, who have vowed not to be taken alive.

Institute Renews $10,441 Study Grant
The National Heart Institute of the United States Public Health Service has renewed a grant to KU for $10,441 for the preparation of derivatives of caffeine and steroidal hormones.
Dr. J. H. Burckhalter, professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, has been directing the research for four years. The research is directed toward two aspects of heart conditions—hypertension, or high blood pressure, and atherosclerosis, a condition often found in overweight persons who may have eaten too many animal fats.
