GETS $25,000 GRANT—Dr. Gilbert Fischer, graduate of the school of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Illinois, prepares to study under the Morris Foundation's fellowship for a master's degree in radiation biophysics at KU. After studying radioisotope tracer methods, Dr. Fischer will write a thesis under the instruction of Dr. Frank E. Hoecker, professor of physics and biophysies, and Edward I. Shaw, assistant professor of radiation biophysics.
Grant Issued To Study Nutrition In Animals
A grant of $25,000 from the Mark L. Morris Animal Foundation. Denver, has opened the way for new research with radioactive substances at KU.
This new research will extend uses of radioactive tracers to the study of comparable nutritional deficiencies in small animals.
It will be a step toward the modification of isotope tracer methods used with human beings for use in the diagnosis of metabolic diseases in animals.
In addition to the KU program, the Morris foundation supports research in this field at Cornell, Rutgers, Oklahoma State and Colorado State universities and Texas A and M.
He will study the modification of radioisotope tracer methods by means of which the functions of the thyroid, pancreas, liver and endocrine glands in animals may be evaluated in relation to their effect on obesity and longevity.
The KU program consists of a fellowship in radiation biophysics granted to Dr. Gilbert Fischer, a graduate of the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Illinois.
Films To Feature Biological Subjects
"The Rival World" shows how science is meeting the problem of the struggle between man and the disease-bearing, crop-destroying insects.
Three films concerning biological studies will be this week's film feature at 4 p.m. Wednesday in 3 Bailey.
"Chain of Life" shows nature's method of making food chains which tie together all living creatures in a community. "Time-Lapse Studies of Growing Trees" shows how seeds sprout and leaves bud in the growth of young trees.
Mountaineers Hold First Meet Tuesday
The Mountaineering Club will hold its first meeting of the year at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Student Union trophy room to outline the year's programs and plan its outings to Colorado.
Slides will be shown of its Easter Colorado trip. The club usually goes to Colorado twice during the school year.
Any interested persons may attend.
Original Bird Sits By Dyche
What is said to be the original representation of the Jayhawker stands on one of four entrance columns to Dyche Natural History Museum.
The feathered creature has its wings outspread and stands on a skull.
It was carved by two students, Antonio Tommasini and Fred Pickett, who had watched Joseph Robaldo Frazae and his son, Vituvius, carve the other gargoles which decorate the building.
Mr. Pickett, under the direction of Mr. Frazey, carved half the Jay-hawker and the skull and Mr. Tommasi completed the work.
Work on Dyche began in 1901 after the legislature appropriated $75,000 for its construction.
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., —(UP)
—U. S. Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge challenged the Russians today to start "behaving like good citizens" and stop stirring up trouble between Syria and Turkey.
Lodge Tells USSR To Behave
Soviet Foreign Minister Andre Gromyko was scheduled to answer him today when the General Assembly resumes its Middle East debate. He and Syrian Foreign Minister Salah El Bitar were expected to press charges that Turkey, prodded by the United States, is threatening an attack on Syria.
Syria and Russia were scheduled to sign an economic agreement today in Damascus that will tie Syria firmly to the economy of the Soviet Union. This is in addition to vast military aid.
The agreement, including a Soviet loan estimated at 100 million dollars, firmly entrenches Russia in Syria as a builder of dams, railroads and deep water port at Latakia capable of handling major vessels.
WASHINGTON — (UP) — Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, Army Chief of Staff, said today Russia probably will adopt a tough new "Sputnik diplomacy" as an outgrowth of its missile and satellite successes.
Tough Diplomacy Seen In Russians
Gen. Taylor said in a speech prepared for the U.S. Army Assn. that he expects Russia to launch "an aggressive program of diplomatic truculence."
The Soviets, he said, already have threatened Iran and Norway because of U.S. bases in those countries, and are menacing Turkey because of alleged plans to attack Syria.
"These are early manifestations of . . . the new "Sputnik diplomacy," he said.
Guns In Cars To Kill 28
WASHINGTON — (UP — The American Automobile Assn. predicted today that 28 hunters will be killed and 112 injured, in gun accidents in cars unless they are more careful with firearms.

'Ike Doesn't Know About Americans'
CHICAGO — (UP) — Poet-historian Carl Sandburg said Sunday night "there are all sorts of things" about Americans that President Eisenhower doesn't know.
The 79-year-old Lincoln expert said Mr. Eisenhower had spent 15 years in the Philippines during his Army life and that he believed a military career was a "hindrance" to the Presidency.
"Let the military men stay with the military," Mr. Sandburg said.
The white-haired poet, interviewed on the NBC television show., "Meet the Press," said he thought Mr. Eisenhower was "more like" George Washington than like Lincoln, who he said was America's greatest president.
He also said he believed Lincoln would have handled the Little Rock crisis differently because he would have been "better informed." Lincoln, he said, "would have found some other answer" and would have "accommodated himself better."
He added that he believed the Republican party "rather definitely" had lost its foothold in the South because of the integration issue, but he said the South could "endure" Mr. Eisenhower and "did six years ago."
Asked whether he thought Lincoln would be a Republican today Mr. Sandburg replied, "He might be a Larson Republican but I doubt if he would be an Eisenhower Republican." He referred to Arthur Larson, former head of the U.S. Information Agency and author of a book about "modern Republicanism."
6 Go On Trial For Mutilation
BIRMINGHAM, ALA. — (UP)— Six white men were to go on trial today in the Ku Klux Klan sex mutilation of Judge Aaron, a Negro chosen at random for attack as a warning against integration attempts. tempts.
The defendants faced a possible sentence of up to 20 years in prison for the Sept. 2 act.
They were B. A. Fleury, Gröer A. M. McLoughl, 41; Jesse W. Mabry, 34; Joe Pritchett, 31; William J. Miller, 28; and J. N. Griffin, 38.
Mr. Sandburg, who speaks as well as writes poetically, said of labor that there are only offices and statisticians today where there were "labor temples" when he was young.
"A certain element of sacredness, holiness, when men made sacrifices, is gone today," he said.
Sandburg himself brought up the subject of Russia's earth satellite. He said he thought McCarthylism, Philistinism and neglect or lack of respect for science were responsible for the United States' lag behind Russia in rocketry.
"If you dined with an old friend who had gone Commie," he said, "You were an S.O.B., and I don't mean servant of brotherhood."
