see you all at the coliseum pre
pared for dancing and learning the
identity of the 1941-42 honorary
colonel. Among those present will
be Dee Gee Jeanne Miller and Ed
Rowley, but only for appearance's
sake, for they've called the whole
thing off, after a year of see-sawing.

minded member in the Marvin
family. . .Little Hank will escort
Dorothy Christian, but we're still
wondering about big brother Dave

agents were unable to find out who

licity. . .

Chancellor
Speaks at Boy
Scout Banquet
The Boy Scout movement is a
typical manifestation of Amer
icaan democracy at its best, de
clared Chancellor C. S. Boucher
in an address in Norfolk last night
before a banquet of the Covered
Wagon regional council of the
Boy Scouts of America.
This may be said of several
other youth-training agencies such
as the Girl Scouts, Campfire Girls,
4-H Clubs and Boys and Girls
states, he added. All emphasize
useful training, constructive ser
vice, spiritual values and idealism.
"It is today refreshing and in
spiring for us to contrast this typ
ically American and democratic
Boy Scout movement and our other
worthy youth movements with the
unified and "dictator-controlled
youth movement of the nazis in
Germany and in the countries dom
inated by them," said the chancellor.
James Madison Wood, 66, holds
a record for longest tenure among
presidents of Women's colleges.
He is rounding out his 29th year as
head of Stephens college.

Profs Conduct Experiments
In Significance of Bacteria
, . . That Live Without Oxygen
Experiments to discover the
significance of bacteria that live
without atmospheric oxygen in
the intestinal tract of man are
now being conducted by Dr. Keith
H. Lewis of the bacteriology de
partment and Dr. W. E. Militzer
of the chemistry department.
It is known that hundreds of
millions of these bacteria occur in
the intestinal contents of man.
They are the predominating mi
croorganisms of the digestive sys
tem, but their role in the body is
still unknown to the experiment
ers. However, it is known that
they do not produce disease,
though they are very similar to
bacteria which may cause infec
tion. Investigate Substances.
The University Research Coun
cil has made possible the co-operative
experiments between Dr.
Lewis and Dr. W. E. Militzer to
investigate the growth-stimulating
substances for these bacteria,
which may . be obtained from corn
silk and peptone.
Ever since Dr. Keith H. Lewis
came to the university in 1936 he
has been attempting to discover
experimentally just how and why
these bacteria function. Progress
was slow during the first years,
even with the help of graduate
assistants, but the fact was es
tablished that several varieties of
these bacteria normally occur in
man and other animals in im
mense numbers.
To continue this study it was
necessary to discover better meth
ods of growing and isolating these
bacteria. Margaret Bedell, who
was the first assistant, found this
difficult due to their complex food
requirements and their failure to
grow when exposed to air. Eventu
ally she devised an improved but
rather complex medium for their
growth.
A more intensive study of spe
cific food substances was made by
Robert A. West, jr., the second
assistant, who discovered that un
less pyruvic acid, among other
things, was included in the diet,
the bacteria would not grow.
