...soon developed that Japanese B is transmitted to humans by the bite of a mosquito, Culex tritaeniorhynchus. Only the females are venomous bloodsuckers; the gentle males stick to flower nectar. All well and good, but mosquitoes disappear in winter. Where did they fill up with encephalitis virus in the early summer to pump it into humans? The answer was an animal, no doubt, with seasonal habits-one easily infected with the virus but not made seriously ill or killed by it. That pointed to young animals, which would promptly develop antibodies. The only creatures that fitted these specifications were birds...
Persuasive as both arguments may seem, however, neither side has persuaded the other during the past two years. The Masters, once the petitions were dead and the present parietal rules established, were delighted to stick with the status quo. (The Houses now are idyllically masculine at 2 p.m. on weekdays, and House dances on home football weekends are inhumanly mobbed--at a fine profit for the House committees). Meanwhile, two classes of undergraduates have left the College since parietal rules were last an issue, and by the time today's juniors and seniors have graduated no student will ever think...
...strides the Midwest is making, Iowa's Des Moines Art Center last week was exhibiting a rich cross section of art from Midwest collectors: 89 paintings and statues from 31 Midwest museums, colleges and universities and private collectors. The Des Moines show proves that Midwestern collectors do not stick exclusively to such safe 19th century American classics as George Caleb Bingham, George Inness and Thomas Eakins, and the Midwest's Big Three, Grant Wood, Thomas Benton and John Steuart Curry.

When they come to the Rodin Museum, Jeanne and Alan stick their heads through the noble statue of The Burghers of Calais and smooch a little. Jeanne, as she bats those baby-blues at The Thinker, declares, "I wonder what he is thinking about." After that, nothing matters anyhow. Jane Russell keeps trying to give Scott Brady, her agent, the other 90% of her; and both young women sing, as nowadays most lady vocalists do, in a peculiarly unpleasant morning voice. The hoarseness is apparently intended to suggest that the girls have taken large doses of sin in their time...
...course, worries herself satchel-eyed about him, and not without reason. When he gets his hands on the stick of a jet, he looks as if he were holding a hashish lollipop, and he sighs: "Now I know how the angels feel!" Down on the ground his instructor (James Whitmore) breathes a blessing: "Show 'em up, tiger! You own the sky." All of this naturally makes Airman McConnell seem a bit of a sap as well as a lot of a hero, and strongly suggests that the Air Force itself is just a shining-faced troop of hi-octane...
