Principals hear about life at KU
Yesterday KU freshmen were telling their elders about KU night life, dorm food and that "horrible" freshman English course during KU's 18th annual Principal - Counselor - Freshman Conference.
Some 222 high school principals and counselors, representing 126 Kansas and Missouri schools, held meetings with their former seniors about their first year at college.
The purpose of the conference is to determine what is the best way to prepare high school students for higher education.
"THE MEETING was very informal, and I told my high school principal about the courses here.
Approximately 400 freshmen out of some 1800 went to the meetings, held at various places on the campus.
It seemed like home week, seeing all the kids together again," said Jane Fiebach, Wichita freshman.
The three Shawnee Mission high schools, North, East and West, represent the largest number of graduates with 513 at KU. Lawrence comes in second with 190 freshmen.
Five sororities have participated in and pledged new members during this semester's informal open rush.
Pledge 12 in open rush
Alpha Delta Pi pledged Jan Huebner, Shawnee Mission sophomore; Floy Lambertson, Fairview sophomore; and Diane Lindgren, Topeka sophomore. Alpha Gamma Delta pledges include Pam Peterson, Moline, Ill., sophomore; Cathy Wilson, Lawrence sophomore; and Margaret Sampson, Topeka sophomore.
HOPPER RETURNS
PRIOR TO COMING to KU in 1963. Wolfe worked for three years as an associate staff scientist at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, a large research institution devoted exclusively to research in mice.
Wolfe was born in Uniontown, and received his Ph.D. from KU in 1960.

The book, which is the only one of its kind, was edited by the director of the Jackson Lab and originally all the contributors were members of the Lab.
Kappa Alpha Theta pledged Diane Oliver, Newton sophomore, and Madelyn Houseworth, Topeka sophomore.

"Almost any physiological and biochemical experiment can be run on mice." Wolfe said. "Experiments such as open-heart surgery aren't practical because the blood vessels and organs are too small. But because they are small, they are economical to feed and store."
All known aspects of mouse biology are considered in the book. It covers not only the anatomy, development, and reproductive physiology of mice, but also the physics and biochemistry, the techniques of husbandry and genetic nomenclature, information on the genetics of mice, response of mice to radiation and drugs, pathological conditions, immune functions and even their behavioral traits.

HOLLYWOOD—(UPI)—Dennis Hopper returns to Warner Bros. for the role of a chain gang convict in "Cool Hand Luke."

"The mouse is close to the human in the evolutionary scale in that they have similar organ systems -circulatory, endocrine, reproductive, etc.-hence, we expect the genetic control of physiological and biochemical processes to be similar. For example, the composition of enzymes, hormones, and hemoglobins in the mouse is similar to that found in the human.
The use of mice in research has definite advantages.
"MICE IN THE PAST 25 years have been used increasingly as model systems for studying diseases and processes related to human health." Wolfe said.

It may be less grand than most station wagons. But it's also about a grand less.
If you're looking for a miniature moving van, our Squareback Sedan isn't it. Even with its back seat folded down it only holds half as much as the average station wagon.
Which means you can't lug 30 pieces of luggage. Or a full-sized double bed.
But maybe you just need a car that can carry 15 valises. Or a full-sized single bed. Then you can save a lot of money with a Squareback Sedan.
It costs only $2,702.* And it not only goes for less than most conventional wagons to begin with,
it keeps on going for less.
A Squareback travels about 27 miles on a gallon of gas. It takes 5 pints of oil instead of 5 quarts. It never needs an ounce of anti-freeze, because it's cooled by air. It should get a good 35,000 miles on a set of tires. And it avoids repair bills like a... well, like a Volkswagen.
So before you go out and buy some station wagon that has twice as much space as you really need, ask yourself this question:
Is the extra grandness worth an extra grand?
