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.

Daily Classifieds By BOB JONES 4 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' -Daily-Fred Day SKOL, SKOL, SKOL 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. i HILLEL Friday Evening Services conducted by SIGMA ALPHA MU Oneg Shabbat Following Service 7 Note Course For Engineers In Nucleanics An intensive two-week course in nuclear reactors and radiations in industry for engineers in industry who are interested in the atomic energy field will be offered here from Aug. 15 to 26. Sponsored by the Nuclear En- gineering Committee, the course will be conducted by members of the engineering school's staff as- sisted by guest lecturers. Aimed for the "engineer without previous experience in nuclear technology who wished to acquire a knowledge of representative' problems and techniques in the rapidly - developing field," t h e course will have a tuition fee of $200. Lectures covering such topics as elementary nuclear theory, meas- urements of nuclear radiations, in- teraction of radiation and matter and nuclear reactors and fuels will be coordinated with laboratory demonstrations, tours of 'U' radi- ation facilities and examples of industrial applications.
