J-A Club to Study Misconceptions
The newly formed Japanese American Club's purpose is to correct the misconceptions that American students have about Japan.
The Japanese-American club will have lectures given by Japanese students, faculty members and KU students who have visited Japan.
KU Prof Tells Of New Theory
A new theory of biological classification developed largely at KU is being explained this week in two invitational lectures in Chicago by a KU professor.
Robert R. Sokal, professor of statistical biology, is lecturing on numerical taxonomy at the University of Chicago and the Chicago Natural History Museum. The theory was developed by Prof. Sokal and several colleagues in the KU entomology department.
The Chicago lectures are a "homecoming" for Prof. Sokal as he earned the Ph.D in zoology in 1952 at the University of Chicago and had held a fellowship at the Museum.
Yusuke Kawarabayashi, Tokyo graduate student and president of the Japanese-American Club, said:
"WE WANT THE topics of our lectures to be of interest to the whole KU student body. Many students hear rumors about cheap Japanese labor, the infiltration of Japanese products on the American market and many other incidents. We want to talk about these incidents and analyze them to see if these things are true."
There will be a club meeting at 8 p.m. Saturday in the Sunflower Room of the Kansas Union. An informal talk will be given by Kawarabayashi on "Let Us Understand Japan Further." Afterwards refreshments will be served at a dance.
Kawarabayashi said all students are welcome to attend. It is not necessary the members be citizens of Japan or the United States. At the present, the club has about 30 members. Kawarabayashi said nine or ten Japanese students and faculty members on the campus belong to the club.
Ethical fallibility will be the topic of a lecture at 8 p.m. tonight in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union.
Professor Charles L. Stevenson will deliver this second lecture of a series on "Ethics and Society." He is the visiting professor of philosophy at Harvard University and author of two books, "Ethics and Language" and "Facts and Values." He was also president of the Eastern Division of the American Philosophical Association from 1961-1962.
The Japanese-American Club was founded by four KU students, Yusuke Kawarabayashi; Charles K.
Hasegawa, Waialua, Hawaii, graduate student and club vice-president; Susan Y. Merrill, San Francisco, Calif., sophomore and club secretary; and Sharon L. Overton. Shawnee Mission sophomore and club treasurer. Presently the club has no faculty advisor. An advisor will be selected in the next few days.

The lecture series is sponsored by the Department of Philosophy.

KU Profs Receive Grants For Research of Brains
Two internationally known professors at KU have received renewal grants from the U.S. Public Health Service for research on brain chemistry of man and blood-pH of mice.
Frederick E. Sampson, chairman of the department of comparative biochemistry and physiology, will receive $16,171 for the fourth year of a six year study of cerebral subcellular particles.
The fifth and last year of a $70,000 research program in genetical and biochemical aspects of the blood-pH of mice is directed by John A. Weir, professor of zoology and director of the Hall Laboratory of Mammalian Genetics.
This year's grant from the U.S.

Prof. Weir has combined his main areas of interest, mammalian genetics of mice and blood chemistry, to show that inherited differences between the lines of mice are related to biochemical differences of their blood.
