Health Center Examines 1,877 Students This Year
Approximately 1,877 persons have filed through Watkins Memorial hospital since school began in September for physical examinations. Of this number 1,700 were examined in $3\frac{1}{2}$ days and the other 160 since then. At present the Health Center is examining four a day.
If the examinations show a student with a defect that can be corrected or helped he is called back and re-examined and then his case is diagnosed. Especially in the fields of hearing, chest and heart disease is this true.
This year the health service is giving the same examination that the army and navy is giving for pre-induction physicals. They can tell a student after his examination whether he will be eligible for the service or not. They are also giving physicals to candidates for A.R.O.T.C., R.O.T.C. and reserve officers.
Another type of physical that the health service is giving is those to students who have taken out insurance policies with insurance companies who do not have their own examiners.
Hearing is one field where the health service has done a great deal. All students with something the matter with their hearing are called back and referred to an ear specialist who visits the hospital every Thursday. There are a great many people with bad hearing now as the result of constant noise during the war. However this faulty hearing, caused by bombing or shelling can not be aided.
In addition to hearing correction much has been done in the fields of heart and chest diseases. Tuberculosis tests have been given since 1931 for example. The service would like to aid students with visual defects but lacks the necessary equipment.
Beginning last year the health service installed the practice of sending out the first page of the physical examination blanks to the student's homes so that the case histories could be filled out there. This was done because it was found that many students were rusty on their case histories.
Law Enforced Against Reds
New York, Oct. 10—(U.P.)-Enforcement of the new Communist control bill swung into high gear today with the questioning of hundreds of incoming aliens about Communist. Fascist and Nazi affiliations.
Justice department officials prepared to apply the law to 820 passengers arriving aboard two big Italian liners and other aliens coming by air. They said 127 non-citizens have been interned on Ellis island in the past three days under the strict security measure.
Authorities hastened to assure music lovers that Arturo Toscanini would be admitted "without question" when he arrives on the Vulcania despite his friendship with Mussolini in World War II. They explained that the famed Italian symphony conductor holds a permanent residence visa.
Sen. Homer Ferguson, R., Mich., a sponsor of the law, blasted the administration for attempting to "undermine" the measure by mass detentions. He said in Washington that the law was being perverted by the impression that it "would work undue hardship in extreme cases."
Ferguson protested the 48-hour detention of Friedrich Gulda, a 20-year-old Austrian pianist. He was detained because he was enrolled in the Hitler Youth movement when he was 10.
Immigration authorities released Gulda on a temporary five-day stay yesterday so he can make his American concert debut at Carnegie hall tomorrow. Unless Gulda obtains an extension he will have to forego later concerts in Boston, Mass., and Chicago. Ill.
Students From 46 Nations Attend The University

Frosh Will Meet Today
English Tests Will Be Given Saturday, Nov. 4
English proficiency examinations will be held 2 p. m. Saturday, Nov. 4. Mrs. Natalie Calderwood, chairman of the examination committee said today.
The Froshawks, freshman men's pep organization, will meet at 7:30 p.m. today in 9 Strong hall.
All students who expect to be graduated from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information or the School of Education are required to pass this examination in either their junior or senior year.
Registration for the examination will be Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Oct. 30, 31, and Nov. 1 in the offices of the above schools. Rooms for the examination will be assigned at that time.
Other members of the examination committee are Kim Giffin, assistant professor of speech; E. Gordon Ericksen, assistant professor of sociology, and William P. Palmer and Miss Christine Petrone, instructors of English.
"The purpose of the examination," said Mrs. Calderwood, "is to test the ability of a student to think through a subject, organize it, and express it coherently with a minimum of mechanical errors."
Air Force Team Now At Union
An air force cadet recruiting team will be in the Union lounge all this week to discuss enlistment requirements with men interested in becoming pilots or navigators.
Students meeting the requirements for candidacy may become 2nd Lieutenants in the U. S. air force upon completion of their college work. Seniors will get priority in the selection for the first class after graduation.
To be eligible, a student must be single, a citizen of the United States, to 20 $ \frac{1}{2} $ years old, and have completed 60 hours of college work.
Capt, Robert R. Council and 1st Lt. Edwin C. Baquet, members of the recruiting team, are qualified to examine students here if they wish to take the tests.
Game Movie To Be Shown
Movies of K. U.'s great comeback in downing Colorado, 27 to 21, Saturday at Memorial stadium will be shown at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday in Strong auditorium. The show is free and all students, faculty, and K. U. fans are invited.
A member of the Varsity coaching staff will narrate the movies and tell about the various formations, players, and outstanding plays of the game.
These movies show many things that took place in the game that were hard to detect at the game--Key blocks on Charlie Hoag's 86-yard touchdown kickoff return, Bill Schaake's spectacular pick-up of Wade Stinson's fumble and his scoring run, and many other things.
The wind shifted to the northwest in Kansas today, indicating moderately cooler temperatures are on the way.
WEATHER
No radical change is anticipated, however. Partly cloudy to cloudy skies are expected, but no rain, said state weatherman A. D. Robb.
For the five-day period ending Sunday, Kansas weather is due to a thunderstorm that causes likely will be nearly normal for the season, or slightly above.
Russia Charges Americans With Strafing Airport
In the last 24 hours, the mercury extremes were 44 degrees at Leavenworth and Goodland, and 84 at Goodland.
Moscow, Oct. 10—U.(P.)—Russia charged today that two American jet fighters strafed and damaged a Soviet airport less than 30 miles from its big Siberian base of Vladivostok Sunday.
Allied Troops Take Wonsan
Korea, Oct. 10—(U.P.)—South Korean troops ported the big east coast port of Wonsan today, while American forces battling fierce Communist resistance inched forward up the road to Pyongyang, capital of Red Korea.
The South Korean 3rd and Capitol divisions overran Wonsan late today and sent patrols north and west of the city on the heels of the fleeing Red garrison.
The captured port, 80 miles north of the Communist border, is the biggest city on Korea's east coast. The nearby airport, also taken by allied troops, was the biggest in Korea before the war.
Red troops dug in on hillsides overlooking the Seoul-Pyongyang highway raked the advancing Americans with murderous small arms and mortar fire. The dismounted cavalrymen fought back grimly, but a dispatch from 8th army headquarters said they gained little ground during the day.
Other elements of the Capitol division scattered enemy forces south of Wonsan. To the southwest, the South Korean 6th and 8th division were advancing steadily, and Communist resistance in eastern North Korea appeared to be crumbling.
Near the western end of the 38th parallel border, however, the 8th U.S. cavalry regiment was encountering fierce resistance as it thrust into Communist territory.
At latest reports, the 8th cavalry was about three miles north of the border. A second regiment of the 1st Cavalry division was reported grouping for a new thrust across the 38th parallel.
Scattered Communist units were still offering sporadic resistance to American troops "mopping up" around the old Pusan beachhead, but a captured Communist major said they had neither the training, the supplies nor the communications for effective guerrilla warfare.
Officials of Red Korea still paid no heed to Gen. Douglas MacArthur's ultimatum, although a spokesman for the five-star allied commander said the Reds had lost 226,500 men in the Korean conflict.
Communist casualties included 170,000 killed or wounded,and 56,500 captured.
Gas Is Enough For Winter Period
Predictions indicate a sufficient natural gas supply for the University this winter C. G. Bayles, superintendent of buildings and grounds said Monday.
Should the University be forced to switch to fuel oil, the 422,000 gallons on hand would be sufficient to outlast almost any extreme cold period. Bayles said.
The fuel oil now being is of a lighter grade than that of the past. Its viscosity, comparable to that of S.A.E. 40 motor oil, enables it to be trucked to the University in sub-zero weather without being heated.
For the fiscal year ending July 1,
1950, the University burned 250
million cubic feet of gas. During the
coldest month, December, 31 million
cubic feet were consumed. Last
winter only 105,000 gallons of fuel
were burned.
New ISA Emblem On Display At Union
The Independent Students association now has an emblem which may be worn on a key or locket chain or as a pin with a Jayhawk safety guard and chain. This pin is a red and white arrow with the letters ISA on top.
The pins can be seen at the I.S.A. office in the Union.
(In Tokyo, a U.S. air force spokesman said he had no comment to make on the Russian charge. In Washington, a state department spokesman also said there would be no comment there until the protest has been received and studied.)

Andrei Gromyko, deputy Soviet foreign minister, protested this "gross violation" of the Soviet frontier in a note handed U.S. Counselor-Minister Walworth Barbour at the Kremlin.
The note demanded strict punishment of the "persons responsible," asked assurances against future incidents and said the United States must bear the consequence of the attack.
However, Barbour refused to accept the protest on grounds that it should be sent to the United Nations. Gromyko then sent the note to the U.S. embassy. He insisted the United States was responsible for the attack because the plane was under American control.
The note said the airport attacked was in the Sukhaya Rechka area of the Soviet coast on the Japan sea 62 miles inside the Siberian frontier from Korea and 25 to 30 miles southwest of Vladivostock.
Two F-80 jet fighters strafed the airfield at 4:17 p.m. Sunday, the note said.
The incident was the third involving the U.S. and Soviet air forces in the past six months. In one of the other incidents, as in the one disclosed today, the United States contended that any protest should be made to the U.N.
This was based on the theory that American planes in Korea are flying as part of the U.N. forces charged with uniting the country.
Barbour answered Gromyko's summons to the foreign office to listen to today's protest because US Ambassador Alan G. Kirk was ill with a slight case of gripe.
Raymond Stevenson, engineering senior, was elected the president of the combined wards at the Independent Students' association allward meeting Monday. Other officers elected were Gene Bennett vice - president; Clifford Tatham, secretary; and James Bennett, treasurer.
All the wards combined into one ward with about 50 members. A regular meeting time of 7:30 p.m. each Monday in the Kansas room of the Union was decided on. Dates for tentative social functions were discussed and will be decided next week.
