Open Evenings
Recent polio research has led
to two important discoveries.
One is that the polio virus prob-
ably enters the brain and spinal
cord from the blood, rather than
by way of regional nerves from
the stomach and intestines, ac-
cording to Prof. David Bodian of
Johns Hopkins University.
Previous injury to muscles ap-
parently causes a reflex change
in the blood vessels of the part of
the brain or spinal cord controll-
ing those muscles.
This makes it easier for the vi-
rus, when it gets into the blood,
to penetrate that part of the brain
or spinal cord and set up infec-
tion there.
May Explain Association
The previous injury could be a
bruise or an injection. Prof. Bo-
dian's theory may explain an as-
sociation between shots given to
protect against various diseases
and the development of paralysis
in the arm or leg that the shot was
given.
Prof. Bodian's theory is based
largely on information obtained
from experiments on animals.
Another new development in
the fight. against polio is the in-
vention of the color test, announc-
ed by the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis.
Color Used
To determine the presence- of
polio virus, a substance called
phenol red is put into a tube con-
taining monkey cells. Under or-
dinary circumstances the cells will
grow, give off acid and change the
phenol yellow.

In keeping with a 17 year-old
tradition, pewter mugs are rais-
ed informally Wednesday nights
in a local drinking spot to the
honor of Bacchus by members of
the hops-happy Stein Club.
Perhaps the mythical wine god
frowns on libations made with
beer, but at any rate Stein Club
members haven't heard any com-
plaints from him.
Begun in 1938
A rather spontaneous start was
given to the club in 1938 when
a group of fraternity men, regu-
lar patrons of the restaurant, de-
cided that they might as well in-
corporate. The organization which
resulted is best described by the
word "liquid."
There is only one officer, the
president, who is elected in Feb-
ruary and serves a one-year term.'
In its traditions strict form is
required for utilitarian purposes,
but the club may not be tight in
organizational set-up. For in-
stance, if a club member happens
to be caught with the lid of his
pewter mug open, his fellow-im-
bibers may pile their mugs on top
of his.
The unfortunate man must then
fill each stein on the pile with'

beer. Funds come out of his own
pocket, of course,
As in many other organizations,
seniority has its place in the Stein
Club. Thirty steins are on the rack
behind the bar-twenty-eight be-
longing to Fraternities and two to
guests. The twenty-eight are orig-
inals, having belonged to the twen-
ty-eight founders of the club. The
steins are passed on, as it were,
from brother to brother.
Hitch is if a previous owner of
the stein should come into the res-
taurant, the present possessor must
relinquish his stein and fill it
with beer for the old-timer.
Mugs, engraved with the name
and year of each of the previous
and present owners are glass-bot-
tomed. This presents the advan-
tage of a constantly clear field of
vision, even while drinking. The
device is indispensible to honest
card-playing.
Old-Timers Return
Homecoming is the big time 'm
the year for Stein Club members.
Then in the colorful, throat-dry-
ing height of football season the
old-timers return, complete with
families and thirsts.
Wives learn where their hus-
bands spent the evenings of four
years at Michigan, while this
year's members wonder wherm the
money for the next ex-stein weild-
er's beer will come from.
Actually, the prefix "ex" can't
be applied to graduated club mem-
bers. Life membership cards en-
title the bearers to the courtesy
of both the restaurant and tie
club. And all the time the clear
brown brew keeps flowing -into
the steins and back out again.

demonstrations, tours of 'U' radi-
ation facilities and examples of
industrial applications.
Polk To Lecture
