Singers Dance At Picnic On Kansas River
About 140 persons sang and danced around a bonfire at the annual International Club picnic held Sunday night near the Kansas river at the north end of Indiana Street.
Folk songs of foreign countries were sung to the accompaniment of guitars, harmonicas, and an accordion.
Students brought their own food and refreshments were provided by the club.
Pierre Bonnavaud, club president, said the many Americans attending were quite interested.
Alma Starkie, a new student from Spain, said, "It was absolutely swell."
Chocolate Milk Hit By Inflation
Students were waiting to buy refreshments in the Hawk's Nest while one cood tried to decide what to order.
"I guess I'll have a 500," she finally told the soda jerk.
He seemed confused for a minute but, after realizing what she wanted, answered. "Oh you mean a 400. The cost of living must have gone up for you too."
Heart Study Gets 2 Grants
A flowmeter developed last year by Hampton Shirer, assistant professor of physiology, will be used in two research grants from the United States Public Health Service.
The flowmeter is a magnet with two wires which is placed around the blood vessel. As blood passes through the magnetic field, a voltage is generated which corresponds to the speed in which the blood is moving.
The first grant of $11,181 will be used to find out how the heart adjusts its pumping action to meet the body's needs. This is a renewal of the grant which supported the development of the flowmeter.
Another grant of $11,572 will be used to study the effects of epinephrine and norepinephrine on the heart and blood vessels. Adrenalin is a mixture of these two hormones.
Kenneth Jochim, professor of physiology and assistant dean of the Medical School, and Prof. Shirer are directing this research. They are assisted by Dr. Francis Abel, research assistant, Mrs. Gertraud McDonnell, research technician, and Dick Shackelford, research assistant and electronics engineer.

35 Cars Run In Club Rally
John C. Russell, Wichita senior, and Donald Hagar, Lawrence senior, won the time, rate, distance rally Friday evening held by the Jayhawk Sports Car Club. They were driving a Jaquar XK-140MC.
Starting from Allen Field House the course covered some 90 miles taking the cars to Kansas City and back by way of Bonner Springs.
The rally was not a speed race but a game of skill where distance to the next check point and average speed to be maintained were given. The navigators computed the time of arrival at each point on the instruction sheet. The car running nearest to the pre-determined time for the course received the first place trophy.
Second place went to S. L. Bedder and K. G. Smith driving an MGA. John Rust, Kansas City, Mo. and Jim Masson, Bethel, freshmen, won third in an Austin Healey.
Thirty five cars drove the course each leaving the field house at 2-minute intervals. A wide variety of foreign cars was represented including, Volkswagen, DKW, Jaguar, Austin Healey, Triumph, Renault, MG and Alfa Romeo.
Saturday morning enlivened and in preparation for the KU-Oregon
After picking up Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy at his home the crowd hurried to the baseball field on Mississippi street. The chancellor, dressed in a bright red nightshirt, told the crowd that "this year will be an exciting and interesting one. It is a year toward which Coach Mather, and perhaps the entire University, has been pointing."
Chuck Mather, head football coach, introduced the team. The rally was closed with the Alma Master and the traditional Rock Chalk vell.
Dance in Union
Following the rally about 250 couples attended the dance in the Student Union Ballroom.
Crowds lined Massachusetts street from 6th to South Park and even sat on the roofs of downtown buildings to see and hear the multi-colored Band Day parade Saturday.
The fast stepping KU band led the rest of the colorfully attired bands. The Highland Park band marched down the street to the tune of "The Blue Bells of Scotland" with their majorettes dressed in scottish kilts. Moccasins and short leather Indian style skirts were the costumes worn by the majorettes from Clearwater,
Preceding the Oregon State football game the 55 bands were on the field to play the National Anthem.
The Missouri state capitol at Jefferson City was finished in 1917.
DAMNED BY WHAT YOU SAY?
A noted publisher in Chicago reports there is a simple technique of everyday conversation which can pay you real dividends in both social and business advancement and works like magic to give you added poise, self confidence and greater popularity.
According to this publisher, many people do not realize how much they could influence others simply by what they say and how they say it. Whether in business, at social functions, or even in casual conversations with new acquaintances, there are ways in which you can make a good impression every time you talk.
To acquaint the readers of this paper with the easy-to-follow rules for developing skill in everyday conversation, the publishers have printed full details of their interesting self-training method in a 24-page booklet, "Adventures in Conversation," which will be bemailed free to anyone who requests it. No obligation. Simply send your request to: Conversation Studies, 835 Diversey Parkway, Dept. 8497, Chicago 14, Ill. A postcard will do.
