Take It Easy On The Travel, Flu Still Bad, Canuteson Says
Though the influenza situation has leveled off this week, there is still influenza on the campus, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the University health service, said today.
"Since influenza is now being reported throughout the state, students will do well to limit out of town travel, and to avoid unnecessary exposure," he said.
Six students were discharged today. There were only 58 patients of all types in the hospital last night.
The number of cases of influenza reported to the State Board of Health from the University now stands at 174.
With 3,395 official cases reported from all over Kansas by Sunday, Dr. C. H. Kinnaman, state epidemiologist, maintained that this still did not give a true picture of the situation. He said that so many doctors are overworked that they have not made their reports yet. He estimates that the state-wide epidemic will last two weeks more.

George Caldwell, president, announced at the Tuesday night meeting that the bill proposing the limitation of election expenditures by political parties has passed, and is in effect.

Marines Have Landed And . . .
Future Leathernecks, Get K.U. Training
Sergeant Allen handle all small arms instruction and drilling for the navy midshipmen. Captain Anderson occasionally conducts the freshman naval science course.

"The function of the marines as a part of the navy is to supplement navy activities," he said. "Most marine corps members take tours of duty on navy ships sometime in their careers."
In addition to supervising marine corps cadets, Captain Anderson and
Ex-marines may contact Captain Anderson at 108 Military Science building for any information they may desire concerning enlisting in the inactive reserve.

Future "leatherneck" officers at K. U. are getting marine corps training this year from two veteran marines, Capt. R. V. Anderson and Sgt. A. J. Allen. This is the first time marines have worked in N. R. O. T. C. Before, marine corps officers were chosen from graduates of Annapolis or army and navy R. O. T. C. units. Now, candidates for marine corps commissions can switch from naval training in their junior year.
people shortened the word to flu.
That word is still in fashion today.
One of the more historic names for the epidemic dates back to the period when John Tyler was president of the United States. The story goes that a man from Boston, while visiting at the White House, was presented to the president. Later, when the Bostonian was suffering from an allment, he told the press that he had apparently caught cold from shaking hands with the Chief Executive. Since Tyler had a reputation for being rather courtyard and cold, the newspapers, unable to resist a pun, started calling influenza the Tyler grippe.
During the 19th century, when this disease sent many Ohio farmers to their graves, it was called the cold plague.
Perhaps the most colorful names have originated during last week when the epidemic played a tri-campus circuit in Missouri and Kansas. No doubt the new names are colloquially modern, but most of them are slightly shocking.
In the 14th century "la gippe" was a common illness. Later it was called catarrh.

K-State Invited To Peace Meet
The Kansas State student council will be invited to meet March 25 with the University All Student council, in an effort to renew the peace pact between the two schools.
Dean Henry Werner asked the ASC for the joint conference, saying again that "these things grow and grow until someone gets hurt." He pointed out that although the pact theoretically is effective throughout the year, it has been interpreted as applying only to the football season.
A reiteration of the two coun-
clairs stands is necessary at this time,
he says.
The ASC passed a bill limiting the campaign expenditures of any one political party to $50 from the day of the general election to the freshfreshman election to the day of the man election, and $100 from the general election.
At the request of George Caldwell, the council placed itself on record as favoring three resolutions on race relations;
TWO Downtown theaters should allow Negro students to have their choice of seats, and they should not be required to sit in the upper balcony sections.

Students Are Jayhawkers;
Also Jaywalkers—Corwin
Pedestrians seems to have no regard for traffic laws, Robert Corwin, K.U. patrolman, said today.
Patrolman Corwin said that too many persons pay no attention to his signals. He explained that safety can be ensured only when pedestrians walk with traffic.
"Cutting across the intersection is another headache", he added. "Students here are supposed to be Jayhawkers not jaywalkers."
Drivers who let out passengers near the intersection also create a serious hazard, the officer said. This applies particularly to the north and south Mississippi street approaches.
