Dr. Kiifreeze To Lecture
Two lecture.- of sp;cial interest to university women will be g.’.cn cn Tuesday and Thursday by Dr E.nina Kittredge.
Miss Kittredge will speak to combined sections ol womens health education classes on January 10 and 17, at 3 30 p.m., 206 Administration. All university women ar* invited.
Dr. Travis and SJaardema contend that action goes on in the brain before a stimulus has reached it as opposed to the view held by many psychologists that brain reactions only follow reception of a | stimulus.
When reduced to an example, the old theory would hold that lf one were to see a light, the mind would begin working but as long as that light was not visible, the mind would remain dormant. The experiments now being conducted would seem to indicate that if a person were to imagine he saw a light, his brain would react in much the same manner as lf he" had actually seen the light, or, reaction without stimulus.
| To carry on this experiment, which is technically known as "The | Study of the Temporal Course of Consciousness,” delicate and spe-! cialized equipment had to be as-j sembled. A special electrically i shielded room was constructed in . the laboratory in w’hich was in-| stalled an electro-enceohalograph.
Procedure for carrying on an experiment consists of attaching an
electrode to the occipital lobe of Kuhlman.
the brain at the back of the skull and another at the lobe of the ear. [ As the subject sits in a chair pro- j vided in the booth, the electrical j impulses sent out by the brain are j carried through the wires to an amplifier. The amplifier in turn sends the amplified waves into a recorder that records the waves on a roll of tape by means of an inked stylus.
From these tape records of what happens inside the brain, Dr. Travis and SJaardema expect to establish the relation between the brain waves and the thinking processes. The present experiment is an extension of work begun by Dr. Travis while he was still at the University of Iowa. The two men expect to conduct tests throughout this year before they reach any definite conclusion.
Subjects for the experiments have been recruited mainly from the ranks of students although Dr. Tyler of the General hospital staff. Dr. Travis, and Mrs. Sjaa dema are also acting as subjects. Students whose brain currents are now being measured at regular intervals are Olga Neil. Eileen Lucas, Oscar Lieffers, Jane Larsen, Melba Corley. Betty Bally.

Ocean-Going
Laboratory
The distinction of being one ef thc tew institutions ln the world ixjulpped with a complete ocean-going laboratory was given the University of Southern California when ls was presented the famous ex-, ploratlon criuser, Velero III, the gift of Capt. Allan Hancock, it j was announced last Friday.
Dr. Rufus B. von KlenSmid formally accepted the vessel on behalf jof the board of trustees. COLLEGES GIVEN COLLECTIONS The 198-foot cruiser will be used, as ln the past, for extensive explorations along the coasts of California, Mexico, Central nnd South America, and ln the tropical islands of the eastern Pacific ocean.
Hancock collections, gathered during these trips, have been given j to colleges, zoos, and niuseun s ] throughout the country and are subjects of research for the world's scientists. Since her launching ln ! 1931. the Velero has made annual [cruises to the tropical seas in thc | interests of marine investigation. BRUCE EXPRESSES THANKS | In his statement of appreciation for the gilt of the vessel, Henry jW. Bruce, vice-president of thc uni-I versity, said. "The combination of (the Velero III as a means of continued scientific explorations, together with the Foundation building for research activities, makes S.C. a foremost West coast center for activities In the fields of zoology, botany, and .related subjects.''
Twin Diesel engines propel the Velero, and it has a fuel capacity of sufftolent size to enable thr ship to cruisa 10,000 miles without docking. Contributing to the scientific efficiency of the vessel are its modem laboratories and app&rtus. photographic dark rooms and camera equipment, and fresh food and water storage to supply a three months' expedition.
Captain Hancock is a nttMve Californian whose father, Major Henry Hancock, is credited with surveying most of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. He owned the historic Rancho La Brea, which oovered that part of the city now comprising Hollywood and the Wilshire district.
