It was a comparatively quiet

as the shock of the early rising

high. Band members got together
for jam sessions while basses

Auguan Flash arrives
Uni magazine
shows picture
of fall events
Flashing on the stands yester
day was the newest in campus
magazines the Awgwan Flash
modeled after Life and filled with
56 photos of campus events, cap
tions, cartoons and jokes.
Inaugurating its career with its
first issue, the Awgwan Flash this
month contains group pictures of
the prize pledges of all the
sororities and some dateable
dorm residents all so that
the male may find out in advance
what his blind date will look like.
Fall activities on the campus
were photographed for the issue,
showing various groups clustered
around radios listening to the Minnesota-Nebraska
game and, the
world series. A section entitled
Tm a Stranger Here Myself"
shows freshmen after their tests,
preference night and just standing
around.
"Football Flashes" gives close
ups of action on the field plus
a little inaction in the stands when
a lonely frosh shows up for the
KU game in Lincoln instead of in
Lawrence.
With a "sincere hope" that no
one will take offense at the photo
graphs, the Flash brings some
"Hot Flashes" to print, showing
a few of the techniques used at
12 p .m. along sorority and dormt
tory row.

"Human eyes are limited to se
only a small portion of the colors
In sunlight, but invisible colors are
as important as visible colors to
human beings in healthful living,"
say3 Dr. H. T. Plumb, General
Electric engineer who is to speak
at today's convocation in the Union
ballroom at 11 a. m.
Dr. Plumb's lecture, "The Magic
of Black Light," is a portion of
a more extensive lecture called the
"House of Magic." He will"dem
onstrate his lecture with high
powered lamps which put out
infra-red rays and ultra violet
light. Both these types of light
rays are invisible to the ordinary
eye' and have been made visible
by scientists only recently by the
invention of a mechanical eye,
which is included in Dr. Plumb's
equipment.
The scientific equipment with
which Dr. Plumb will demonstrate
black light is valued in excess of
$1,000. He also has with him a
collection of rocks which have the
properties of flourescence under
