'Talking'
By Randy Irey
Junior Staff Writer
A brief view and hearing
Into the area of animal com
munication was given Wednes
day afternoon.
Dr. Hubert Frings, from
the University of H a w a i i,
spoke before the Biology Club.
The topic of his speech was
his research into the various
aspects of animal communi
cation. Frings defined animal com
munication as the process of
a signal sent to a receiver,
whose behavior Is Influenced
by the signal.
"There are four major
channels of communication,"
explained Frings. "The tactile
channel which is shown by
ants bumping into each other
and transmitting an alarm is
one type."
"Another channel of c o m
munication is optical in na
ture. An example in this area
is birds communicating by the
display of their plummage. A
third area is accoustical, such
as the sounds of insects or
birds."
"The final channel of ani
mal communication is chem
ical. A form of this would be
the chemical produced by bar
nacles when they are fastened
firmly to an object. This chem
ical attracts other barnacles
to the location."
Frings divided the uses of
signals between animals into
five areas. They were species
identification, social coopera
tion (alarm calls), sexual at
traction and recognition, court
ship and mating, and parent
young relationships.

Defines
Animals
duction, Frings showed slides
and played recordings of var
ious animals communicating.
These included moths, m o s
quitos, and water animals.
He also showed a movie of
his research on the gooney
birds of Midway Island. These
birds have been a problem to
air traffic on the island. They
are large birds and cause
much damage when they col
lide with the aircraft.
He stated that he had not
been able to come up with
a good solution to the prob
lem before he left the island.
He felt, however, that people
are biased towards the birds
by their names. "They really
aren't that clumsy and do try
to avoid the planes, but often
times they can't."

A JANITOR . . . sweeping is just another form of fight

Dairy Professor Says:
Cleanliness Undefinahle
By TONI VICTOR
Junior Staff Writer
Would you go swimming in
a pool with twenty other
people? Would you use some
one else's bathwater?
These are questions of sani
tation posed by Dr. R. Burt
Maxcy, professor of dairy
science. According to Maxcy,
each of the above practices
are equally sanitary and not
especially hazardous to
health.
Cleanliness is undefinable,
said Maxcy, because its defi
nition depends on an indivi
dual's place in society and
the society itself.
Disease Prevention
In our society, he noted, if
a person dropped a hambur
ger on the floor, he would
throw it away. But in a poor
country there would be no
idea of wasting an item of
food, said Maxcy.
The layman's approach or
definition of what is clean is
based on esthetic values,
probably instilled by his par
ents, said Maxcy. -
"However, the logical
approach should be based on
the prevention of disease,"
Maxcy stated.
Superstitions
According to Maxcy, the
concept of what is sanitary
is loaded with superstition. As
an example, Maxcy nted the
practice of drying dishes with
a towel.
"The towel Is one of the
dirtiest things in a kitchen,"
said the professor.
Dishes will attract germs if
stacked wet, he added, so
large establishments cur
rently use heat treatments to
dry dishes.
Individual Values
On the subject of individual
values in sanitation, Maxcy
referred to Kinsay s report on
the sexual behavior of the
human male. The report dis
closed that men from a higher
social level feel that a kiss
is not unsanitary, but refuse
to use the common drinking
sup because it is unclean.
However, men in a lower
social level, tend to feel
Burlington
that kissing is unsanitary, but
think nothing of using a com
mon drinking cup.
According to Kinsey's
report, both practices are
unsanitary, stated Maxcy.
Food Industries
Spaking of sanitary condi
tions in the food industries,
Maxcy said that few people
are killed as the direct result
of unsanitary food processing
equipment or products. There
fore, he noted, the trend is to
maintain the status quo.
Maxcy noted though that
the most important phase of
sanitation is to recognize it
as an important item in pro
duction and to award it its
due consideration in the pro
duction process.

While some students were
fighting the weather Tuesday
night, others were hoping for
a storm similar to the one
in February, 1965, when school
was closed tor the urst time
since 1961.
The storm a year ago this
last Febrary left Lincoln with
more than twenty-one inches
on the ground.
Compared to other sections
of Nebraska, Lincoln received
only a brief touch of snow
and strong wind Tuesday. The
cold winds were brought by a
deep low pressure system mo
moving northeastward from
Kansas to Iowa, the Weather
Bureau said.
Temperatures for the week
end are predicted to turn cold
er and several periods of
showers are forecast.
