Jani:.- son announced. Prof. Jamison, of the business school, recently returned from the AAUP's 34th annual meeting in St. Louis.

The association also discussedr the problem of faculty represent- tion in college politics.- date," according to Dr. Gordon Brown of the School of Public Health. Healthy people are more sus- ^eptible to polio attack than un- iernourished people probably be- cause the virus, a parasite, prefers healthy cells to live in, Dr. Brown stated before the Science Research Club. The polio virus have been iso- lated from humans and injected into animals, Dr. Brown said. Its size and a number of its chemical reactions have been determined. However, neither serum tests, nor treatments are now available.I Human beings, and not food, water, insects, rodents or sewage, are probably the carriers of polio, according to present information, he said. However, Dr. Brown declared, "In polio we have to admit any possibility." He described present directions of investigation and emphasized the need for more ef- ficient tools of research.
