'Active' Scientist To Speak in Series
A scientist-scholar who leads anything but a "cloistered" life will present the next Humanities Series lecture at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
The lecture on "Science and Liberal Education" will be given by Bentley Glass, professor of biology at Johns Hopkins University, in Fraser Theater. An informal reception by the Faculty Club will follow.
Prof. Glass is editor of the Quarterly Review of Biology, is senator-at-large in Phi Beta Kappa, was Sigma Xi Society national lecturer in 1958-59, and was president of the American Association of University Professors, 1958-60. He also served on the advisory committee on biology and medicine of the Atomic Energy Commission.
DURING HIS three-day visit on the KU campus, Prof. Glass will give three other talks open to the public and will speak to classes in anatomy, genetics, journalism, and zoology.
At 4 p.m. Monday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union, he will talk about "Darwinism and Ethical Values" at a coffee sponsored by Student Union Activities.
At noon Tuesday in the English Room of the Kansas Union, he will speak at the Faculty Forum on "Genetics and the Future of Man."
BESIDES HAVING published more than 150 articles on scientific, professional, and general topics, he is author of "Genes and the Man," "Science and Liberal Education," and co-editor of "Forerunners of Darwin." He has taken part in and been a leader in many conferences, institutes, and organizations dealing with research and education in the fields of genetics, biology, eugenics, and medicine. He was chairman of the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study, is a member of the committee on genetic effect of atomic radiation of the National Academy of Sciences, and was vice president of the Genetics Society of America in 1960.
At noon Wednesday in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union he will speak at an "open" luncheon meeting of the American Association of University Professors on this subject: "Are We College and University Teachers Members of a Profession?"
He was born in Shantung, China, in 1906, of American parents, and attended schools in China. At Baylor University he received the degrees of B.A., M.A., and LL.D. He earned the Ph.D. degree in 1932 at Texas and received the Sc D. degree from Washington College in 1957. He has studied in Oslo, Norway, and in Berlin, Germany.
He began college teaching at Baylor, then taught at Stephens College, Columbia Teachers College, and Goucher College. He has been on the Johns Hopkins faculty since 1947.
KU German Nationals Ask For Disaster Relief Funds
Those requesting the aid are Maria Kehlenbeck, instructor of German, from Hamburg; Herta Schoppe, Hanover graduate student; Uwe Leonardy, Kiel graduate student; and Eckart Wessling, instructor of German, from Berlin.
Two German students and two German instructors in light of recent disasters in Germany, are appealing to all German students to send aid home.
Their appeal reads:
"All of us have heard of the recent catastrophe, the second after the mine disaster of Saarbrucken, on the north coast of our country. Latest news reports that in Hamburg alone more than 100,000 people have lost their homes.
"There are undoubtedly countless more people who share this fate. The death toll has reached 500 and many more are still missing.
"Some of us are from these parts of our country, and we are sure all of us will agree that we should, although away from Germany, try and give our share in the help
which is urgently needed now.

CAPE CANAVERAL — (UPI) — A radio signal that shouldn't have been had scientists fearful for the life of astronaut John H. Glenn Jr. near the end of his three-orbit journey Tuesday.
False Radio Signal Endangered Astronaut
Had the signal been correct, Glenn could have died a flaming death as his "Friendship 7" space capsule plunged back through the atmosphere toward its planned landing area in the Atlantic Ocean.
It proved to be erroneous, but not before scientists made several flash decisions that changed the procedure for bringing Glenn back from space and had them sitting on the edge of chairs around the world for the last half-hour.
AS GLENN SOARED over the Pacific Ocean for the third time, instruments at ground tracking stations picked up a signal that indicated the vital heat shield on the base of the capsule had come loose.
The shield is a curved piece of metal and special plastic designed to absorb the heat of atmospheric friction during re-entry. Without it, the more fragile parts of "Friendship 7" would have been exposed to, and probably have melted under, temperatures ranging up to 3,000 degrees.

837 Mass.
GLENN WAS ADVISED of the apparent problem a few minutes later as his capsule swung back toward the North American continent, where reverse rockets to slow him down were to be fired.
Anxiety increased as the astronaut prepared to trigger the three braking rockets which were supposed to be still attached to the heat shield. The tension relaxed as Glenn reported he "felt like I was going back the other way," indicating the retro-rockets had fired normally.
