KU Student Health Service Examines 1800 in Three Days
Approximately 1,800 people have been examined by the student health service during the past three days, and an additional 500 are expected Saturday after late enrollment.
In a program begun in 1928, students are checked for T.B., speech impediments, color blindness, and defective hearing. One hundred students are admitted per hour, Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the hospital, said. Thirty senior medical students from the University of Kansas Medical school and countless clerical help have been taken on as temporary help, Dr. Canuteson added.
The student makes his official appointment in the registrar's office as part of orientation week. At that time he is given an hour to report to the student health center in Watkins hospital. "Three to five out of every 100 don't show up." Dr. Canuteson said, "but we hound them during the year until they finally come to us."
The health department director went on to explain the importance of physical examinations. "We want to find out about the health of every entering student. Often we find defects the student did not know about, and we are able to correct them before they become too serious."

"We need the records to check on eligibility for participation in intramurals, and at least one student out of ten applies for a scholarship or a job requiring a physical examination." Dr. Canuteson said.
A number of steps worked out in order to save time for both examiner and examinee take the new student through his personal medical history. At his first step he is questioned by a nurse about past illness and physical defects. Then he moves upstairs to be tested for contact with tuberculosis, and for color vision.
An audiometer measures his hearing with sound frequency and intensity. If the student's hearing is defective, he returns the following Thursday to confer with an ear specialist.
A numbered X-ray is recorded, and his eyes, ears, nose, and throat are tested.
A feature of the examination found only at KU is the speech test. If the student shows defective or inarticulate speech, he is sent to the speech clinic in Green hall for remedial practice.
The head, neck, chest, and abdo men are checked on the second floor but not until after the men have gone to the right corridor and th women have entered the left.
Surgery Separates Siamese Twins
New Orleans—(U.P.) The Mouton siamese twins were separated today in a history-making operation which doctors said was a complete success.
A spokesman among eight surgeons at famous Ochsner Foundation hospital who performed the hazardous one hour and 35-minute surgery said that unless complications develop, the twins "should be normal in every way."
Never before have siamese twins been separated without bringing death to as least one.
Stockton Heads Special Projects
Thirty-six years in three kinds of deanships is the record of Dr. Frank T. Stockton, retired dean of the University Extension. Dean Stockton becomes director of special projects for the University Extension this month and Thomas H. Walker succeeds to the directorship.
Although an extension division was an established fixture at KU, its activities have multiplied in the Stockton deanship until it has 60 full-time employees and an annual budget of $500,000 out of the growth is the comparison of 91 on and off-campus extension events in 1946 and 328 in 1952.
Dean Stockton has but four years of non-administrative duty left before retirement, because by special permission of the board of regents he has served one year as dean beyond the mandatory retirement age of 65 for administrators.
Extension centers have been established in Garden City and Colby for southwestern and northwestern Kansas. Activities of the Wichita and Kansas centers, the latter innere, Tonei and Leavenworth, were intensified.
But Dean Stockton views this as but a start. He predicts that someday the Extension will become as large an operation as on-campus instruction.
After teaching assignments at the Universities of Rochester, Indiana, and Michigan, Dean Stockton became dean of the College at the University of South Dakota in 1917. In 1924 he became the organizer and executive Business at KU and in 1947 he became dean of University, Extension.
His public service record lists many civic, state, and federal assignments. He has been a director of the State chamber of commerce and chairman of its industrial council.
California Librarian To Lecture Oct. 13
Willis Kerr, librarian emeritus of Claremont college, Claremont, Calif., will conduct an illustrated public lecture Oct. 13 here on Collecting William Allen White books.
The lecture, sponsored by the KU libraries and the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information, will be held in room 205 of the Journalism building at 8 p.m.
Mr. Kerr was once librarian at Kansas State Teachers college at Emporia and was a friend of Mr. White. Mr. Kerr also was one of the founders of the Kansas Library association.
All students interested in being on the debate squad, as well as returning squad members, will attend an open meeting tonight in Green hall. Kim Giffin, debate coach, said today.
Debate Meeting Set For Tonight
Tryouts will be conducted in a new way this year, Mr. Giffin said. They will be Tuesday, Sept. 22. New debaters will deliver five-minute speeches on the issues they have been assigned.
The question is; Resolved, that the United States should adopt a policy of free trade.
Issues and sub-issues of this year's debate question will be handed out to the prospective debaters.
The first landscaped garden in America was at Middleton Place on the Ashley River near Charleston, S. C., now a mecca for beauty lovers.
The three injured persons were on the street below the blast. Mrs. Frances Toarmina, 60, received a back injury; Mrs. Dan Streeter, 39, had leg lacerations, and Harvey Gould, minor head cuts.
Chief Brannon said he had "a couple of real good clues this time."
A side door appeared to have been tampered with in the Hamilton suite, and a string across a stair entrance, stretched to guard wet paint, was broken and police found the imprint of a foot on a stair tread.
Thursday, September 17. 1953 University Daily Kansan
Kansas City, Mo. —(U.P.) Three persons were injured in the seventh mysterious bombing here in a month, a blast which wrecked a doctor's examination room.
'Bomber' Blasts City Again
The city's mysterious "bomber" went high above the street yesterday to blast the 11th floor of a busy downtown building at 3:30 p.m., in the first daylight explosion of the series.
Police Chief Bernard Brannon said a preliminary investigation indicated "it has the same smell and appearance—and no fragments." The other bombings, all during dark hours, caused no injuries.
The latest blast, in the 24-story Bryant building, blew out two walls, a door and the street window of Dr. Hugh Hamilton's observation room.
Dr. Hamilton, a leading Kansas City obstetrician, used the room to examine patients.
The first aerial bombing raid in history took place in 1849 during Austria's siege of Venice. Austrians released hot-air ballons, each carrying a bomb equipped with automatic release.
