Christmas in February?
Down by the campanile, some kind soil noticed this poor tree pining away for some sign of warmer weather, and with samariitan-like concern, affixed 19 pine cones to its branches.
U.S. Public Health Service gives grant to professor
Robert H. Bussell, associate professor of microbiology at the University of Kansas, has received a grant of $24,043 from the U.S. Public Health Service.
The grant, titled "Comparative Studies of Selected Myxoviruses," is a continuation of a four year old program designed to study the life properties of related measles and canine distemper viruses.
Bussell said that he and his team of researchers were interested in learning about the mode of replication of the viruses.
"We won't actually study the diseases arising from the viruses themselves; we are more interested in how to retard their growth," he said.
Bussell said that the major goal of this year's research was
Feb.12 1970
to find out more about properties of these viruses than were already known about the influenza virus. In this way, these viruses could be related to others that were well known.
The KU microbiology department received the grant because it is one of the few laboratories in the U.S. that is qualified to conduct this kind of research.
Bussell said that although drug companies and professional laboratories were more interested in finding reliable vaccines for viral diseases, he and his team want to find out what the mechanism is that could retard or destroy viral growth.

Bussell said he and his research team want to isolate the nucleic acid in the virus. This, he said, would be the key to infection by the entire virus.
Working with Bussell are Gordon Newlin, David Waters and Miss Ann Ranken, all graduate students in microbiology.
The physiology and cell biology department at the University of Kansas will be represented at the meeting of the American Neurological Society in Albuquerque, N.M., March 16-18.

There are two sides to every wedding ring.
Don't just look at the outside
Don't just look at the outside of a wedding band. The inside is very important, too. When the word ArtCarved is on the inside of your ring, you know its quality. Its size is equal to its breadth. We have just received a stunning collection of new ArtCarved designs. Why don't you come in and look at both sides of them?
