Zoology Proiessor Will Outline Studies Al Final Lecture
In the concluding lecture of the regular Wednesday series. Dr. Francis M. Baldwin, professor of zoology, will speak on ‘ Indirect Calorimetry in Relation to Human Metabolism" at 4:30 p.m. today in 159 Science.
By the use of calorimetry, Professor Baldwin has been able to determine the output of heat energy of various types of animals in given lengths of time.
CALORIE DEFINED
The speaker defines a calorie as the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of one cubic centimeter of water one degree centigrade. Metabolism is the waste and repair function of the body cells.
Dr. Baldwin's experiments on the
subject, which have been published in the proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biologist and Medicine, aid in giving an index of the utilization of foodstuffs eaten.
HEAT DETERMINED
"Knowing the amount of food combusted," the professor declared In speaking of the calorie as a unit of measurement, “it ls easy to determine the heat equivalent of materials burned.”
Certain foods generate different amounts of heat energy when combusted in the'animal body, accord-

Varsity Show Acclaimed At Preview
Campus Show Termed 'Best Yel’ As Music, Acting, Plol Sparkle
In Hollywood terms. It would not only be called stupendous but colossal.
An invited group of campus "executives,” however, were content to let it go at ‘‘the best Varsity show ever produced at S.C.,” following a sneak preview in Bovard auditorium yesterday.
In that respect alone the critics were playing a Hollywood role: they were content to allow the merit* of the show to spread by word-of-mouth around S.C. Instead of applying the usual adjectives. “A cast of thousands.” "The greatest epic ever produced," or "A sure academy winner.”

Recommended Editor Oi Campus Magazine Declared Ineligible
The status of James Talcott. re-j commended by the board of publications for the editorship of the Wampus, was In doubt after last night’s student senate meeting at which that body failed to accept his recommendation.
Contending that Talcott did not have a 1.5 average and was therefore Ineligible to head the staff of the monthly campus magazine, the senate rejected his appointment, 6 to 6.

Three other petitioners for the office — Oscar Lleffers. Paul Miller, and Reavts Winckler—were eliminated by the board because of their lack of experience working on the magazine, Cook said. Of these, the latter two had the required average.
NEW RECOMMENDATIONS
After rejecting Talcott, the senate asked that Cook, representing the board of publications, obtain a new recommendation from the board.
This controversy highlighted the flnal meeting of the ASSC officers for this year and following the completion of business, the new officers were Introduced. Henry Flynn’s gavel was turned over to Michael Mas Han, who adjourned the meeting.
PLAN SUBMISSION PASSED
A motion was passed to require all organizations planning publicity stunts publicizing events which they sponsor to submit plans to the ASSC vice-president, along with explication for a date, subject to the approval of Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid. Arnold Eddy, and Dean Pearle Alkln-Smlth.

Authority was given Kenneth Sieling, head yell king, to appoint a second assistant. His first, Paul Miller, already has been elected.
In retiring from his office, Henry Flynn congratulated his assistants on their work during the past year and presented Betty Jane Bartholomew and Nancy Holme, ASSC vice-president and secretary, with gift certificates ln recognition of their efforts.
