Lampert, In explaining it, said that

Novel Plan To Improve the
Educational Radio Program
The Bacteriology Department of
the University of Kentucky probably houses more different types
and kinds of germs under one roof
than any other place in Kentucky.
Almost any kind of bacteria, or
microorganisms, are grown in this
department and are kept in the
basement of Kaslle Hall all the
year 'round. There are just as many
and a great deal mure harmless
bacteria upon the earth than there
are disease producing or pathogenia
microorganisms.
The bacteria in the department
are grown upon artificial media
uludi usually consists of nutrient
agar which has become solidified.
This type of media contains all of
the nutrients that are required for
the growth of the organisms. However alter the germs have remained
upon the artificial media for two or
three days, all of the food products
have been absorbed and then a few
of the organisms saved to trans-te- r
to another tube of agar for
fresh growth. This Is quite a Job
for one man and so the department
has three men who help in making
the transfers daily.
In the long list of extremely long

names, one might find such names
as: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus
aureus. Streptococcus lactls, Bacillus anthracis, Nitrosommonas pyro-genand many others.
Since many of the microorganisms are pathogenic, extreme
has to be taken to see that the
student does not come in direct
contact with the germs and thus
es,

contract the disea.se that that particular organism causes. One Is
stiiitly forbidden to shuffle his feet
upon the floor while the plugs are
out of the tube which contains the
bacteria, for fear that contamination of the tubes might result. The
same principle applies to clothing
and its shuttling. At the beginning
of each class period, the desks have
to be cleaned olf with a solution of
Mercuric chloride in order to des- -'
troy any bacteria that might have
been Kit by the proceeding class or
from the air directly.
So the life of a bacteriologist Is
not such a easy one after all and
one has to be on his tix-- all of the
time if he expects to still be In
the competition on this earth and
s

live with his fellow man.

MUSTN'T

SAY

"SCHOOL"

Using the word "school'' synonomously with
"college" and university" should be avoided,
thinks Dr. Raymond Walters, president ol the
University of Cincinnati.
Speaking before the Ohio College Association,
Dr. Walters, a former college instructor in Eng
lish, suggested that "a small reform in verbal
usage for our whole section" was in order.
The word "school" is too loosely used on the
campus, in the dormitories and fraternity
houses, and also in the undergraduate news
papers.

"Cheerleaders and editors exhort students to
do this and that for 'our school.' If we of the
colleges and universities wish a common term,
wq can employ 'institution' as being accurate
'School' properly belongs to the high school,
pieparatory school, elementary school and in
certain cases to graduate or professional de
partments of universities.
"1 suggest that wo who are teachers or slu
dents in a college or university should avoid
the term 'school' and, when we mean the entire institution, use the words 'college' or 'uni
versity.' This is not, of course, a serious matter.
1 do think, however, that in the interests of
English diction and common sense, we should
call things by their right names."
Dr. Walters is probably right, csjiccially whei
lie says that this misuse of the name "school" is
not a serious matter. Wouldn't it be far more
advisable to worry over things which are def
initely bigger and more important than the
mere hairline differences in the connotation ol
a lew woidb? Surely theie are more iinjioi taut

Declaring that "honorary societies are in many
cases only mutual admiration groups," Dean J.
A. Park of Ohio State University told the Na
tional Association of Deans recently that some
college honorary societies are "rackets." "Stu
dents pay about $200,000 a year in initiation
fees to about 300 honorary sorieties," he said.
Dean Paak may be a bit vicious in calling
them "rackets" the college honorary societies
are probably more like minor grafts. But they
are undoubtedly grafts in many instances.
A glance at Baird's Manual indicates that
every college student should be able to make
at least one honorary in something.
