KUSeason Football Tickets Are Expected to Sell Well
High sales estimates of season football ticket sales are being made by the KU Athletic Department this year.
Monte Johnson, assistant athletic director, said last year's total of 15-610, including public sales and faculty purchases, could be surpassed if the present trend continues.
Johnson said that as of now the athletic department has sold approximately 10,000 public season tickets, compared with the 12,041 total for last year.
Fund to Assist Birth Studies
Attempts to understand how the complex machinery of a new life is put together before birth—normally and sometimes abnormally — will continue at the University under a renewed research grant of $44,419 from the National Foundation-March of Dimes.
Continuance of the study, begun in 1962, was announced jointly by Dr. W. Clarke Wescoe, chancellor of the University, and Basil O'Connor, president of the foundation.
Byron S. Wenger, associate professor of comparative biochemistry and physiology, is project director.
THE KU STUDY is one of several March of Dimes-supported projects probing the mysteries of growth and development which sometimes occur abnormally to cause birth defects.
The growth of a new life, animal or human baby, from the first single fertilized egg cell to a billion-celled entity ready for birth is more than cell multiplication. The process requires cell differentiation and specialization on a precise time schedule, directed by genetic factors and influenced by environment.
Wenger and his colleagues hope to pinpoint the role of certain enzymes which are responsible for nerve cell differentiation in the early growth of chick embryos.
THEY WILL CONCENTRATE their studies on chicks with an hereditary crooked neck defect and stunted growth. It is possible to duplicate this abnormal condition in other chicks by injecting the yolk sac with nicotine at the proper time.
The investigators hope to compare the chemical processes involved in differentiation in the two similar conditions, one produced through heredity and the other through environmental influence.
This basic research at the University of Kansas is considered important in efforts to throw light on body chemistry processes that may sometimes go awry and cause birth defects.
'Right to Work Battle Looms
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The congressional battle over President Johnson's proposal to eliminate "right to work" laws in 19 states is heading for a showdown in the House, with both sides predicting victory by an eyelash.
Intensive lobbying and letter-writing campaigns are being waged by the AFL-CIO, principal supporter of the measure, and the National Right-to-Work Committee, spearhead of the opposition.
Spokesmen for both groups say they do not expect any dramatic developments before House debate begins July 26.
The President, who has given only subdued backing to his request for repeal of Section 14-B of the 18-year-old Taft-Hartley Act, is not considered likely by either side to play a major public role during the debate. His bill would nullify state laws banning the so-called "union shop."
A government official who is playing a leading role in the fight, said he was confident of an administration victory.
Last year KU students bought 10,-018 season tickets. This year Johnson believes the number will surpass 11,000.
The number of faculty-staff tickets sold this year is to be at least equal and perhaps surpass the number sold last year, 3,500.
A sellout for the Missouri game, the big game on the schedule, is expected by Sept. 1. Ticket sales for the other games are moving well and good-sized crowds are expected at each game.
Johnson said many people are buying season tickets to ensure them a ticket to the Missouri game. He added that that was the surest way to get one.
He said interest has been excited and that several crowds of 44,000 and up are expected to fill the KU stadium.
Busy Week Planned At Kansas Union
The Kansas Union will be a busy place this week, with a dance, two movies, and two tournaments.
On Thursday, a dance will be held in the Trail Room open to all summer students.
On Wednesday another movie in the Classical Film series, "The Gold Rush," starring Charlie Chaplin, will be shown at 7 p.m. in the Forum Room. Admission is 50 cents.
Wednesday at 2 p.m. a bridge tournament will be played, as will a table tennis tourney that evening. On Friday the Friday Flicks will be shown as usual.
By transferring data on Kansas water wells to computer programs, two KU geologists will be saving thousands of man hours for their fellow workers.
KU Geologists Working on Water Studies
And because of their work, Charles O. Morgan and Jesse M. McNellis of the groundwater division of the U.S. and Kansas Geological Surveys have received cash awards of $350 for superior service from the Department of the Interior.
"Four hours of clerical work and five minutes of computer time will now give us information that previously would have taken two months for a professional geologist to compile," said Robert Dingman, head of the groundwater division.
Data on such aspects as water quality, location, and depth of Kansas wells were programmed by the two geologists at the University's Computer Center. Each spent about one year—much of it on his own time—on the project.
Morgan and McNellis will report on their work during a seminar at the University Aug.16-21. Geologists from 12 states will meet at the Computer Center to learn how to develop similar programs for groundwater in their states.
Morgan has been in Lawrence since 1963. Before that, he was assigned to a post with the U.S. Survey in Louisiana. McNellis joined the staff here in 1959.
Derl Sherman Treff, a February 1965 graduate of KU, has joined the engineering department of the Boeing Co. in Wichita as a design progress estimator. Treff earned the B.S. in business degree.

Overland Park Girl, 19. Named 1966 Miss Kansas
PRATT, Kan.—(UPI)—A 19-year-old Overland Park beauty representing Kansas City is reigning as the 1966 Miss Kansas.

Flood Areas To Be Toured
DODGE CITY, Kan.—(UPI)—A congressional subcommittee on flood control, headed by Rep. Ed Edmonston, D-Okla., was expected here last night to begin a tour of flood ravaged areas of the Arkansas River Valley.
The committee will tour damaged areas near Dodge City early today before flying to McConnell Air Force Base at Wichita to inspect areas near Augusta.
The committee will conduct a public hearing at 3 p.m. today at the Sedgwick County Courthouse before returning to Washington.
Rep. Bob Dole, Garner E. Shriver and Joe Skubitz, all Kansas Republicans, will accompany the subcommittee.
