Special Exhibition ToFeaturePortrait
KU students will find a distinguished addition to the Museum of Art when they return from Thanksgiving vacation.
A special exhibition, called "Les Mardi: Stephane Mallarme and the Artists of his Circle," will open Sun. Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m., and will include the oil portrait of t- lested French poet, Mallarme, painted by Edouard Manet, a renowned French painter.
THE PORTRAIT, 13 by 15 inches and painted in 1873, has been lent to the KU Museum of Art by the Musée du Louvre, Paris.
The opening address will be made by M. Edouard Morot-Sir, cultural counselor of the French Embassy in Washington. Following M. Morot-Sir's address, a reception will follow in the main gallery of the Museum.
ALSO INCLUDED in the exhibition will be works by Whistler, Redon, Renoir, Monet, Degas, and other leading artists of the nineteenth century. Works included in the exhibition have been borrowed from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Chicago Art Institute, the Library of Congress, the Baltimore Museum, and others.
In connection with the exhibition, an illustrated catalogue has been prepared, containing articles on Mallarme and the Symbolist movement in art and poetry.
The show will run from Nov. 28 to Jan. 3, 1966.

Fluoridation Hearing Flooded With People
An unexpected overflow crowd forced the Sigma Xi Program on Water Fluoridation to move from its planned meeting place in 411 Summerfield to Hoch Auditorium last night. Sigma Xi, a national honorary scientific society, sponsored the discussion originally to be held at 7:30, but because of the move, the discussion did not begin until 8 p.m.
About 350 students, faculty, and interested Lawrence citizens listened as a panel of scientists presented arguments for and against the fluoridation of public water supplies. A physician, two biochemists, and a chemist participated in the exchange of views.
DR. RAYMOND Schwegler, director of Watkins Hospital, served as moderator of the panel.
According to G. R. Young, chairman of the department of biochemistry at the University of Missouri at Kansas City, all water has some fluoride content ranging from one-tenth part fluoride per one million parts water up to 25 parts fluoride per million. Young defined the fluoridation proposal
to be the adjustment of fluoridation concentration in public water supplies to one part per million which is believed to be a safe and healthful level.
THESE BELIEFS are supported by many scientific studies, some of which Young explained and presented on slides to the audience. One such study was done in Kansas. Three cities in Kansas totaling 36,000 population which used fluoride were matched against three other Kansas cities totaling 33,000 population which

did not use fluoride. The study was made over an 11 year period among children between the ages of nine and 12. Results showed that in each age group the fluoride users developed about half as many dental caries as did the non-fluoride users.
The building was immediately evacuated and law enforcement officers began a thorough search. No bomb was found and normal classes resumed at 9:30 a.m.
Young discussed the safety of fluoridation. The absorption of fluorides in food, water, or drugs begins in the stomach and continues throughout the intestinal tract, he explained. Fifty per cent is excreted through the urine. The remainder is temporarily retained in the bones. It either forms new bone or is fed into the blood stream and excreted by the kidneys.
"This program is economically feasible," he said. "It would cost
"LARGE AMOUNTS of fluoride can cause crippling fluorosis in some people. But it would take a thousand years to cause crippling fluorosis in the proposed one part per million fluoridation program." Young said.

French to Hear Art Exhibit Debut
The Voice of America has requested a tape in French on the opening of "Les Mardis de Mallarme" exhibit Nov. 28 at KU's Art Museum. Several of the paintings are being loaned to KU by the Louvre art museum in Paris.
Klaus Berger, professor of History of Art, will be interviewed by Miss Marie-Josephe Derlade-Charpentier, graduate of Ecole du Louvre. Miss Derlade-Charpentier is affiliated with KU's French and History Departments.
AKLs Break Ground Dedicate New House
The 75-man house, which has space for future additions to 90 men, is expected to be finished by next fall. The two-acre site which the AKL house will be built on is in the southwest corner of an area known as "fraternity place," where the newly-built Tau Kappa Epsilon and Lambda Chi Alpha houses are located.
Ground-breaking ceremonies for the $200,000-plus Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity house at KU will be Sunday, Nov. 21, at 2021 Stewart Ave.
THE 3 P.M. ground-breaking ceremony will be presided over by Marshall A. Havehill, II. Kansas City.

Artist's sketch of the future Alpha Kappa Lambda house.
The contemporary styled building, designed by Runnels and Winholtz, Kansas City architects and City Planners, will feature a central court yard supported on all sides and entered through a black iron gate and "sally port," (side entrance), from the parking lot. Sliding doors make it possible for the dining and recreation areas to be expanded into the court for special occasions.
The actual ground-breaking honors will be shared by J. Glenn Hahn, Shawnee Mission, who will represent the alumni; Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, who will represent the University; Alfred Graves, Lawrence, who will represent the founders of the local chapter and Steve Buchner, Prairie Village senior and president of the chapter.
He said the new house "is an absolute necessity for us to continue to be a growing part of KU. We can't continue our current operations unless we expand in size and facilities." The chapter presently has 65 members, and the house was built for an approximate capacity of 50, he added.
