The American First Cavalry men and South Korean Sixth division troops have linked up with 3,000 paratroopers at Sun chon, U.S. Eighth army head quarters announced. Marching 85 miles west from Wolsan in less than a week, South Korean troops were the first foot soldiers to join the GI chutists who leaped deep into red territory. The South Koreans route took them up the peninsula to the rond linkink Pyongyang, the failed red Korean capital, to Wonsan on the east coast. They then swung westward. The junc tion was made six hours after the 'chutists had made their jump. And thirty miles north of the red capital first cavalrymen ad vanced out of Pyongyang and linked with the paratroopers. Stimson Dies But the news wasn't all happy. In Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., Henry L. Stimson, 83, secretary of state under President Hoover and secretary of war under three other presidents, died at his home Friday. A member of his family said death resulted from a heart attack. He had been troubled with a heart ailment since he left public office in 1945. Looking to the military affairs, Maj. Gen. Laurence S. Kuter, military air transport service commander, has predicted "ex tensive and further deployment of U.S. troops and material" in the far east after the Korean war. General Kuter, enroute home from a global tour of MATS bases, believes the Pacific air lift will continue indefinitely after the end of the shooting in Korea. The Pacific airlift began after the North Korean army stormed south across the 38th parallel June 25. Food Shortage The Pacific isles don't have a monopoly on needing United States aid. Yugoslavia formally asked this country for aid in meeting a food shortage result ing from drouth. A letter handed to Secretary of State Acheson said the Yugo slavs require $105,000,000 of out side help. Meanwhile in Prague, V. M. Molotov of Soviet Russia and foreign ministers of seven other communist nations met last week with other communist nations to discuss "the remilitarization of West Germany." Molotov, a Soviet deputy prime minister long out of the Kremlin limelight, apparently is acting as Soviet foreign minister at the meeting. Countries represented there are the soviet union, AiDania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania, Hungary and East Germany. On the other side of the world Peiping radio said last week that Chinese communists executed four Chinese Catholic church men including two priests in Hupeh province on charges of espionage. Church Leader To Address Second Convo Zvetan Litov, formerly one of the leaders in the Bulgarian pro testant church, will address a University convocation on Tues day, Oct. 24, at 3 p.m. in Love Library auditorium. His appearance is sponsored by the National Committee for a Free Europe, the same organ ization which sponsored the "Crusade for Freedom." Joseph C. Grew, ambassador to Japan at the time of Pearl Harbor, is chairman of the board for the group. Other members ef the committee include former Attorney General Francis Bid die, Gen. Lucius Clay, Cecil B. DeMille, James, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, William Green, Henry Luce and Darryl Zanuck. Litov served as minister of the largest Methodist church in Sofia for 15 years. He was director of the Methodist youth organization for three years, and secretary of the Supreme Council of Protes tant Churches in Bulgaria. In 1947, he entered the United States with a scholarship from the Methodist church to study at Emory University in Georgia. He has lectured throughout the Uni- j Students will then be given a ted States. i chance to sign up for Union work The 41 year old minister was I in the activities pool, and their graduated from the theological ! names will be placed in a corn school in Frankfurt, Germany in mittee file. During the nine 1932. He was ordained as riea con and elder in the church by the American bishop, Dr. Nuel ton. He Is also a graduate of the Law school at Sofia State Uni versity. He was a member of the editorial staff of "Zornitza," Bul garia's oldesi publication and bulletin of all protestant church es in Bulgaria. He was assistant editor of "The Christian World," a monthly publication of the Methodist church in Bulgaria. The communist trial of 15 Protestant ministers in Bulgaria Involved a number of Litov's as sociates. Many of them were sentenced to life imprisonment. m rciYion 1 n icEiets Only a limited number of mi gration tickets are available for the Husl-er-Jayhawk game at Lawrence. Fast-progressing sales in Un ion booths saw most of the tickets for the trip via chartered train gone by last week. Persons who still wish to pur chase tickets are urged to get them as early as possible if they desire good seats in the stadium. Ducats are still being sold in the Union booth by Corn Cobs. Traditional Trip The traditional trip this Sat urday will be the fourth such migration to Kansas University in ten years. Price of each ticket is $8.50. This covers the cost of the round trip train ticket ($5.41) I a.nd cost of the football game The "Jayhawk Special" will Atom Energy Clinic Hears Jorgensen Two popular myths about atomic energy were exploded Friday afternoon by Dr. Theo dore Jorgensen, Jr., chairman of the University physics depart ment, at a clinic for newspaper and radio news editors. The miscon ceptions were: That the atomic bomb is a product of American science and that there is security in the secrecy of Jorgensen i science. Dr. Jorgensen, formerly asso ciated with the Los Alamos atomic bomb project, gave the opening talk at the University's two-day clinic on atomic energy. The clinic is being sponsored jointly by the University's Ex tension Division and the School of Journalism. Explaining the mistaken idea that the atomic bomb was de veloped entirely in the United States, Dr. Jorgensen said: "All of the important funda mental research in the field of nuclear physics up to the time it was known that the atomic bomb was a possibility was done in the English, French, German and Italian labs." English and American physic ists, he explained, interested their governments in the mili tary application of atomic energy at practically the same time. When scientists from the two countries began comparing notes at the end of 1941, it was found that thinking in both nations had been along almost the same lines. Acting upon the suggestion of President Roosevelt to Prime Minister Churchill, the two coun tries co-operated in this effort from 1941 up to Hiroshima, he i added. Dr. Jorgensen said the idea of secrecy interferes with the free flow of ideas among scientists. He explained that exchange of ideas is a necessity for the advance ment of fundamental science. "British scientists returning to England," he continued, "took with them the knowledge of atomic energy that had been de veloped jointly in this country. Since this information was known to scientists of more than one country, there was no longer a secret." Participants in the clinic toured University physics laboratories after completing registration Fri day. They saw demonstrations of radio-activity, neutron source and the accelerator which is being used in a research contract with the Atomic Energy Commission. Chancellor R. G. Gustavson also spoke at the afternoon meet ing. He discussed the social im plications of atomic energy. Saturday's session will include talks by Edward Trapnell, Wash ington, D. C, director of infor mation for the Atomic Energy Commission, and Dr. Adolph F. Voight, assistant director of the Ames, Iowa, laboratories of the AEC research program.

Dr. Herbert Jehle, In the cur rent issue of a national scientific magazine, "The Journal of Chemical Physics," describes in mathematical terms one of the vital processes oi growth the duplication of genes. Genes are tiny substances, in visible to the human eye, which determine our heredity from generation to generation. As hu man beings grow, for example, genes reproduce again and again as exact duplicates. Science has never been able to satisfactorily explain this marvelous accuracy The theory, developed by Dr. Jehle in consultation with other University physicists, has aroused great interest among theoretical scientists in this country. In addition to its value as a theory, however, three prac tical results may stem from it. Secret of Virus First, the theory may shed additional light on how viruses grow. Viruses, tiny substances which can be seen under only election microscopes, are respon sible for poliomyelitis, common coly-ds, influenza, measles and about 35 other human diseases, ; scores of animal diseases and I UNCOIJJ 8, NEBRASKA Filings for AWS Board Extended Filing date for AWS member ship has been, extended to Tues day Oct. 24.

Ballet Ticket Sale to Start On Tuesday University students who want to see a world-recognized ballet, will have an opportunity to pur chase tickets for it at a reduced rate beginning Tuesday. The well known Sadler's Wells ballet will make its first Ne braska appearance Monday, Nov 20, at the Coliseum. The Eng lish ballet is being sponsored by the University with arrange ments being handled by the Union. According to Hugh Follmer, chairman, tickets will be sold at a much lower rate than the reg ular scaled prices quoted for the general public. Announcement of the price will be made next Monday. Mrs. Genene Grimm, Union director, said that there are only a limited number of tickets available. Students who buy them at the reduced rate will be asked to present their ID cards at the door. Kosmet Klub to Sell Sales will open in a Union booth Tuesday. Also Kosmet j Klub workers will be selling the tickets. Ag students will be able to obtain their tickets from the Ag Union at a booth and from Ag representatives who are Kos met Klub workers. Said Irving Deakin, advanced manager for the company, "Stu dents should remember that only one performance will be given in Lincoln." j. Mrs. Grimm stated that the student price will be at a mar velous saving with the regular reserved prices so low. Student seats probably should be less than $1. Regularly scaled seats will sell at $4.80, $3.60, $2.40 and $1.80. Student seating will be locat ed in the balcony of the Coli seum and will offer "the best panoramic views of everything that happens on stage," said Follmer. Students who wish seats closer i to the stage may take advan tage of the regularly scaled price ticKets which are available now. Tour Includes 29 Cities Sadler's Wells is making a coast-to-coast itinerary which will include 29 cities. This sea j son's tour of the country will be the second for the group which is a British company. Last sea son's tour included nine United States cities. Mrs. Grimm said that the eve ning program will include a full-length presentation of "im peccable dancing that has stirred audiences in the rest of the world as well as in America." Last season, the company set the numerous articles which ac each of the nine cities which it visited, added Mrs. Grimm. 1,000 Costumes According to company author ities, 40 tons of scenery, 1,400 pairs of special dancing shoes and 1,000 costumes are among the numerous articles which ac companied the travelers. Between seasons, the celebrat ed company has made extensive tours of Vienna, Prague, War saw, Posnan, Malmo, Oslo, The Hague, Rotterdam, Paris, Ham burg, Dusseldorf and Florence. The company is under the sponsorship of the Covent Gar den Opera trust in association with the Arts Council of Great Britain and the British council. err B f Herb pIC0ffOi x-nmm:,: x:x:m Im gps: ;mm9 ' - r ri v ' l Dr. Jehle I over 200 plant diseases.

Coll-Agri Fun Board to Give Scholarship A new twist will be added to the showing of the annual Col-Agri-Fun skits and curtain acts this year, announced Janet Ross, Coil-Agri-Fun board general ma nager, announced. Curtain time is promptly at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2". A scholarship totaling $100 is to be awarded to the participant in Col-Agri-Fun night last year who has since gathered the highest , grade average. Competi tion for the award includes only the past two semesters. Board members stated they would like to see the new addition become an annual part of the fall fun night. Dress Rehearsal Full dress rehearsal will be at the College Activities building Wednesday night, according to Miss Ross. She pointed out that all skits and curtain acts should be presented at this time and in the same manner as the night of the show. A total of seven skits and four curtain acts are planned for the evening's performance. Skits are: "Little Mel," Loomis hall; "The Hour of Destiny," Amiki tas; "Charlie Comes to the Farm," Love Hall; "History of the Ag Campus," AGR; "Black faced Follies," Home Ec club; "Before the Mirror," Ag YW; i "Good Knight, Irene," Far.n House: "Women As We See Them," Ag men's club. Curtain Acts Curtain fcts are: "The Play Without Words," Ag YMCA; "Be fore the Mirror," Ag YW; "Cock tails for Two," Ag men's club; and another by Ag Country Dan cers. Dick Walsh has been appointed master of ceremonies for this year's skit night. As in the past, a $10 first prize will be awarded to the best cur tain act. A traveling plaque is given to the best skit. Permanent Possession Love hall has a chance to ob tain permanent possession of the plaque this year as they have won it for the past two years. It is the established policy of the board that if any organ ized house wins it for three years in succession they become the permanent owner. Col-Agri-Fun board members for this, the 19th annual show, are: Janet Ross, manager; Dick Crom, assistant-manager; Doro thy Bowman, secretary; Joyce Shaner, treasurer; Jack Wilson and Jerry Johnson. jennie m called antibodies develop during the body's fight to rid itself of the sickness. The antibodies make chemicals which neutralize the poisons of the germs and help us get well. The theory worked out by Dr. Jehle has not been confirmed by scientific experiments, but it opens the way for new ave nues of investigation. Here, briefly, is how Dr. Jehle explains his theory. Cells Divide The basic units of life are cells. Human egg cells are about one-third as large as the period at the end of this sentence. As human life develops, the pro cess is one of division one cell becoming two, two becoming four, and so on. As adults, our ' bodies contain billions of cells, i As the process of division and growth goes on from birth, why is it, for instance, that our eyes become blue, or brown or gray? The answer is that within every living cell are misroscopic struc tures called chromosomes. All chromosomes carry genes. Genes are vehicles of heredity which H if B B Activities Complete Weekend Agenda Main attraction of Homecoming weekend will be the annual Homecoming dance at the Coliseum. The dance is under the joint sponsorship of the Tassels and Corn Cobs. The Homecoming band for 1950 will be Anson Weeks. Revealed today by the homecoming committee, the band features pianist Weeks, recording artist, composer and alumni of several national radio shows. Former members of his show i include Tony Martin, Bob Cros by, Carl Ravazza and Dale Evans. The band leader has a record of seven consecutive years at the Hotel Mark Hopkins in San Francisco in addition to engage ments at the Waldorf Astoria, in New York, Edgewater Beach and the College Inn in Chicago, and other leading hotels, thea tres, and ballrooms throughout the country. Compositions "I'm Sorry Dear," is a Weeks j composition. The pianist has also 1 written "New Moon." i According to the dance com mittee, Weeks features both smooth, rhythmic music, and swing. His success is credited not only to the skill of his keyboard technique but also to his talent as a composer and his ability to surround himself with talented performers, singers and musi cians. Native Californian A native Californian, Weeks formed his first orchestra while he was attending the University of California. The success of this venture started the bandleader on the professional road. The Homecoming Queen, who will be presented at the Missouri-Nebraska game in the aft ernoon, will reign at the dance. Winners of the float and house decoration contests will also be announced. The Coliseum decorating theme will be revealed later, but according to those in charge it promises to be unusual. Tickets Cost $2.50 Tickets for the dance are $2.50 per couple. Ticket sales will be announced later this week. Last year the ticket price was $3. Corn Cobs expressed hope that the new low price would attract many more couples. With thou sands of alumni visitors in Lin coln, a capacity crowd is ex pected at the dance. Other homecoming events, in addition to the presentation of the Homecoming Queen and the dance, include the house decora tion contest, special rallies and the Homecoming parade. Military Officers To Choose Queen An All-University election for the six finalists in the competi tion for Honorary Commandant will be held Tuesday, Oct. 3 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. in both the city campus Union and the Ag union. Entries must be in by 5 p.m. tomorrow. Organized houses are reminded to be sure that their candidates are qualified seniors before they register them. The qualifications, previously stated, are: the coed must be of senior standing in her particular col lege and she must have an aver age of at least 5.5. There is no limit on the number of girls who mav apply from each house. The six finalists elected by the student body will be presented to the candidate officers at a re. ception Nov. 2 at the Union from 2 to 7 p.m. The officers will then vote on the finalists for the Hon orary Commandant title who will be presented at the annual Mili tary Ball. ernes hands and feet and other things which we recognize, as part of the human body. Genes, during this process, duplicate themselves over and over again. Why? Dr. Jehle rea sons this way: Within the genes are still smaller units called peptide molecules, which are composed in turn of collections of atoms of carbon, nitrogen and other elements bound together chemically. The peptide mole cules continually vibrate. Vibration Pattern However, Dr. Jehle reasons, some genes have 'one pattern of vibration and other genes other patterns of vibration. As the smaller molecules pass thru the cell they are attracted to the genes if their vibrations are the same mode and frequency. In the cell the genes keep selecting cer tain peptide molecules until a string of them is built up with the same vibrational pattern as the original gene. The new gene is an exact duplicate, then, of the mother gene. The theory is actually a de scription of a problem of living matter in terms of mathematics and physics. His theory was worked out by the use of quan tum mechanics, usually used in analyzing elementary atomic problems. Monday, October 23, 1950 'Antigone' Begins Final Rehearsals The student cast of the Greek tragedy "Antigone" will put on their first production of the year Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, Oct. 26 to 28, at 8 p.m. The University Theater exper imental play will be presented in Room 201 of the Tempi building. No admission will be charged for any of the perform ances. For seven days preceeding the first performance, the cast will be working with full stage equip ment such as make-up, costumes, etc. Dean Graunke says that any on Fritzler and Francis Goodside. The tragedy will be acted out with formal staging, according to Graunke. This includes use of pillars, circular 1 e v el s, and drapes. Music appropriate for a tragedy will be used to set the theme of the drama. No Act Division Since there will be no act di vision or change of scenery, spe cial lighting effects will be used to convey the change of scene or mood to the audience. For the first 15 minutes of the drama, which takes one hour and 45 minutes, a narrator por traying a Greek chorus will give the mood of the play, and "urge the drama on," said Graunke. Graunke, who is directing the production, emphasized that the majority of the cast has never before been on a University stage. This "encourages more in terest in the theater and pro vides more education for the students." Production Staff The committees who are work ing on the stage production of the drama are: Designer: production staff; prompter: Mary Sidner; con struction manager, Dave Sisler; . crew: Gwen Wiesner, Miriam Bleicher, Jerry Young, and Ruth Ann Sandstedt. The stage man ager and crew is composed of the workers on the construction committee.
