Academic Notices By MARY LETSIS It must be tough to be a Gila monster-even your best friends desert you. And your family leaves you cold as soon as you can crawl. These pathetic poisonous lizards with their orange-and-black stripes, purple forked tongues and inch-long claws can be seen dozing daily in their cages on the second floor of the Museum. ,5 "THE GILA MONSTER'-while only 18 inches long-is the deadli- est of all lizards"' Irving Reimann, Prefect of the Exhibits; explained, "but don't let its dumb look fool you. It hangs on like a bulldog one it sinks its teeth into you."

The three students-John H. Griffith, Grad., of Vicksburg, Michigan; Paul R. Mclsaac, Grad., of Ithaca, New York; and William W. Milligan, '51L. of Sidney. Ohio --were named yesterday as recipi- ents of the fellowships by a com- mittee of, Rotarians meeting in Chicago. Griffith, who is now a teaching fellow in history at the University, will spend his fellowship year in Europe. McIsaac, a doctoral stu- dent at the University, plans to spend his fellowship year in Great Britain. Milligan, president of the Senior Class at the University Law School, wil study international and com- mercial law in South America. wound from the glands along the side, he continued. "And when they're irritated, they really his-s-s," ,Keimann said. ** * GILAS ARE speed demons, too. "These devils can jump sideways and reverse their positions in mid- air. So, if a Gila has his back to you, you never know. In a split- second, he can be face to face with you. "It's not a very pretty pos- sibility, is it?" Reimann asked. The Gila monster carries its food reservoir in its tail, as the camel carries his in its hump. "We can always tell when Gila is hungry. His blunt tail becomes very thin, but even so, he can live months without food. This reser- voir acts as a sort of kitchen cup- board-and it takes him a long timd to empty it," Reimann said. * * * BUT ONE of the most interest- ing facts about the Gila monster is the effect of the sun on its tough little hide. "Here in captivity, they are comparatively tame and are con- tent just to eat and sleep. But if we take them out in the sun and hput them on a warm sandbag, they really get mean. They hiss, their mouths fly open and they get very excitable. It's possible that their hides act as a sponge by absorbing the sun's rays, and I guess theyjust can't stand too much sunlight." The Gila monster gets its name from the huge Gila River in Ari- zona where many of the little beasts make their home. "And as farasmost people are concerned-they can stay there," Reimann added. Don McNeil Elected YD President The Young Democrats, in their first meeting of the semester, last night elected new officers to serve until June. Elected by unanimous vote were Don McNeil, Grad., president; Fran Wagman, '52L, vice-presi- dent; Leah Marks, '52, correspond- ing secretary; Charles Arnade, Grad., recording secretary; Ernest Mayerfeld, '51L, treasurer. * * * - TAKING THE only contested positions were Lyn Marcus, '53L, and Janet Klein, '51, both mem- bers-at-large. The new officers, outlining plans for the current semester, emphasized the importance of member activities in this spring's state and local elections. Point- ing out that two University Re- gents were to be elected this year, McNeil noted that the YD would play a major role. in the campaign. Describing plans for a "poli- tical workshop" designed to ac- quaint the YD's and the rest of the campus with grass-roots poli- tical organization and techniques, McNeil said the "course" would last two days and would take place in early March. At the same time member-at- large Marcus moved that the club request that the State Democratic committee appoint a full-time Young Democrat organizer to pro- mote the growth and activities of clubs in all parts of Michigan. This motion was passed. Looking ahead to the coming state convention, Marcus empha- sized the need of building up local membership to secure more dele- gates. Predicting a split in Demo- cratic ranks at the convention, Marcus observed that strong YD delegations might be able to ef- fect a unification of the factions. Ryder Heads Men's Judic In an election yesterday after- noon, John Ryder, '53L, was elect- ed president of the Men's Judici- ary Council. At the same time, Dave Pease, '51F & C, was reelected secretary of the organization for the second semester. Pease, a resident, of Cincinnati, O., is a member of Druids. Retiring president, Jim Smith, '53L, of Shaker Heights, O., do- nated a gavel to Men's Judic at the meeting. ..., . .,.... _ _o_ 4 t y ffe it: ATOM WASHER-Prof. Gerald M. Ridenour, of the public health school tests 'an automatic washing machine for radioactive bacteria with a Geiger Counter, while conducting research on sanitary problems of automatic washers. .* * * * BENDIX BACILLI: New Experiments Detect Tub Bacteria by GeigerCounter 4 'U' Program Of Flu Shots To Continue The Health Service will begin its second day of influenza vac- cination at 8 a.m. today. Students, faculty, student wives and University employes may get "flu" shots from 8 to 11:30 a.m. and 1 to 4:30 p.m. today and 8 to 11:30 a.m. tomorrow. Vaccination ,takes about 10 minutes. Students will enter the north door of the Health Service for free shots, and must show their iden- tification cards. Faculty, student wives and employes will use the south door and must pay $1. Dr. Warren Forsythe, director of the Health Service, cited recent outbreaks of influenza in Buffalo and Texas in urging all students to be innoculated. But he appar- ently did not expect all 17,000 students on campus to get shots; the Health Service obtained only 4,000 doses. Dr. Forsythe warned that con- centrated housing of students would make an influenza epidemic especially dangerous here. Finian's Rainbow Parts StillOpen There are still openings for Negro dancers and singers in the forthcoming Student Players' pro- duction of "Finian's Rainbow," ac- cording to Burt Sapowich, pro- ducer for the organization. Tryouts will be held at 7 p.m. today and at 2 p.m.'on Sunday in the Union. Room numbers will be posted. The musical comedy will be pre- sented on April 19, 20 and 21 in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. a, { anc s By RICH THOMAS "Rub a-dub dub, seven isotopes in a tub," will replace the pro- verbial three men in the title of the well-known nursery rhyme if workers in the public health school have anything to say about it. :The researchers are using radio- active phosphorus in studying the sanitation conditions of automatic washing machines. Thus the atomic age has finally caught up withour age-old nursery rhymes. * * * THE GOOD of radioactivating our washing machines is definite- ly questionable, but Prof. Gerald M. Ridenour, who is directing the public health workers, has his own good reasons. "Existing bacteriological tests were not feasible for studying automatic washers," he said, "so about a year ago we came up with the idea of radioactivating our test bacteria and then test- ing the sanitary properties of the washing machines with a Geiger counter." Briefly, here's how the test works. # 0 ORDINARY BACTERIA are fed the radioactive phosphorus, which they readily absorb. The "tagged" bugs are then mixed with a spe- Read and Use Daily Classifieds cial soil preparation and smeared cloth patches which are washed with a regular load of laundry. f After the wash, the patches are Geiger Countered to determ- ine how much bacteria remains in them. The washing water and machine are also tested for rad- ioactive residue. The results of the research will not be availableeuntil June, but Prof. Ridenour emphasized that there was no apparent health haz- ard in today's washing procedure. The research, sponsored by the National Sanitation Foundation, was an attempt to evaluate more accurately the sanitary properties of modern washing techniques than has heretofore been possible. a I . *.~. *. .: .
