Drugs to be studied
A $1,700,000 federal grant to the University of Kansas Medical Center for research on responses to medical drugs has been made by the U.S. Public Health Service.
The funds will aid the Medical Center's research of the effects of various drugs and medications when used in differing altitudes and temperatures. Research will include studies concerning heredity, chemical agents, poisons, radiation, and the effects of one drug on another. Studies of drugs influencing fat and cholesterol metabolism and their effects on hardening of the arteries will be intensified.
"Man is constantly changing his environment—trying to fly higher, dive deeper, add a host of chemicals to the atmosphere he breathes and the food he eats, and to change his mind and body with drugs," Dr. Daniel L. Azarnoff, director of the program, said. "The practicing physician is presented with a dilemma each time he prescribes medication. This
Moving date set for Alumni office
The KU Alumni Association will move from its office in 127 Strong Hall to temporary quarters in Sudler Place on May 3.
The office will be at Sudler until the addition to the Kansas Union is completed in about a year. Then the office will be moved to the Union.
Keith Lawton, vice chancellor in charge of University operations, said the space in Strong, which the Alumni Association is vacating, will be reassigned to the administrations office. He did not know what it would be used for.
The office in Sudler will occupy a portion of the first floor, all of the second floor and the garage apartments.
The Association has been in 127 Strong for ten years.
grant will enable the Medical Center to train research personnel, investigate chemicals such as medicines, drugs and poisons, and in turn disseminate new information to physicians."
The Medical Center's drug study began in 1963 with the establishment of a clinical pharmacology study unit, according to Dr. George A. Wolf Jr., dean of the School of Medicine.
In 1964 the study unit received $100,000 from the Burroughs Wellcome Company, a pharmaceutical firm, to begin a training program for research workers. In 1965 nearly $300,000 in federal funds was used to expand the training program. The unit became the first in the nation to obtain support for both clinical and basic science from the National Institutes of Health.
The first year's allotment of the new grant will be $261,633. Wolf said. Approximately $100,000 will be used for additional research laboratory equipment, including a hyperbaric oxygen tank for the study of drug reaction under high oxygen pressure conditions, and changes in body temperatures.
The rest of the funds will be used to develop and evaluate methods of delivering the latest information about drugs and medicines to physicians.
SUA to present underground film as part of series
A sampling of 11 experimental films produced in the United States during the last 15 years will be shown at 7 and 9 p.m. Wednesday in Dyche Auditorium. The films are a part of the Classical Film Series, sponsored by the Student Union Activities (SUA).
All of the "underground" films are new to the KU campus, Sam Gill, Sterling senior and chairman of the series, said.
Included in the program are films such as Mayo Deren's almost poetic work "The Very Eye of Night," Stan Vanderbeek's cynical film "Science Friction," and Jonas Meca's "Award Presentation to Andy Warhol."
Britain makes profit
LONDON — (UPI) — Britain makes money by making other people's money.
Sounds crazy? Well, most countries do not produce their coins because mints are very expensive to run unless operated on a large scale like Britain's Royal Mint.
The Royal Mint churns out so many coins that it manufactures other nations' currency at a profit.

Much of the lecture dealt witl. the resemblances between Dante's description of purgatory and the elements of Beckett's "Waiting for Godot." Whereas Satan reigned in hell, as far away from heaven as possible, purgatory was on the surface of the earth, in a place not unlike that in which the characters of Beckett's plays find themselves stranded.
HAYS—The Kansas Library Association Friday awarded two $1,000 grants for graduate study in librarianship to Margaret Crist, Brewster senior, and Linda Wulkuhle, KU graduate of Lawrence.
The literary parallels between Dante's Divine Comedy and the dramas of theater of the absurd playwright Samuel Beckett were the topic of a lecture Monday by Gabriela Roepke, visiting professor of theater history from Catholic University, Santiago, Chile.
Miss Wulfkuhle received the A.B. degree from the University of Kansas in February and plans to enter the University of Denver next fall. Miss Crist will be graduated from KU in June and will take graduate work at the University of Michigan.
Miss Roepke pointed out that since Dante's characters had been placed in either heaven or hell, they must have been judged by God and condemned. In the theater of the absurd, however, God is not recognized as an entity, so its characters must be left to the supreme indifference of those powers which rule the world.
The two scholars were chosen by a three-member committee headed by Marc T. Campbell of Fort Hays Kansas State College.
