With practically every organized house giving a spring formal lately, the social whirl on the campus has really kept spinning. It seems to be of little use to try to impart any ideas and motives for studying during these last few days, since most students have developed the idea of "what's the use anyhow."
Alpha Chi Omega gave its spring formal Saturday night in the Kansas room of the Union.
Guests were Thomas Nicklin,Richard Ackman, Frank Curry, George McCarthy, Donald Bledsoe, Neal Woodruff, Harry Nelson, Eric Eulich, Joseph Kott, Al Shepherd, Chester Dillon, Thomas Warnick, John Haddock, Richard Hodges, Donald Ferguson.

TELL ME,
DOCTOR
How to Stay Out of the Hospital
.
By R. I. CANUTESON M.D.
(Director, University Health Service)
Chronic alcoholism is a rarity in the college age group, but the makings-emotional instability and the idea that cares should be drowned are no less common than in other groups. And so this data may not be amiss.
Recently groups studying chronic alcoholism reported that almost one-third of the population of the United States uses alcoholic beverages. Three million become excessive drinkers, and 750 thousand become chronic alcohol addicts, burdens to themselves and to society. These are not all men. There is an increasing amount of alcohol addiction among women.
In terms of cash outlay alone, the cost of maintaining drunken persons in jail is about 25 million dollars. Care of alcoholic addicts in mental hospitals adds another 13 million dollars. No estimate is made of the cost in loss of usefulness of the victims or in terms of disorganized families.
The alcoholic addict is considered to be a medical problem. In the search for the basis of alcohol addiction, various groups are working, but with limited resources. Appropriations and contributions to official and voluntary agencies for work on tuberculosis amount to about 150 million dollars a year, for infantile paralysis about 18 million and for alcoholism 500 thousand. Annually seven billion dollars is spent for alcoholic beverages, more
Habitual excessive drinking costs another 175 million dollars a year in crime—crime committed by persons under the influence of alcohol, under the urgent necessity of procuring alcohol or in the process of profiting by its illegal sale. Along with crime attributed to alcoholism is the increasing venereal disease rate—now of almost epidemic porportions.
250 Attend Navy Farewell Dance
Frankie Masters and his band played for the navy farewell dance held in the Military Science building Friday night. About 250 Navy men and their guests attended.
During internmission, Comdr. R. J. Baum of the University Navy R.O.T.C. gave a short farewell speech, Norma Kennedy, Fine Arts junior, gave a vocal and piano solo, and the Navy octette, Clarence Erickson, Dexter Welton, Edward Roper, Bernard Domann, Robert Koenig, Robert, Weintraut, Charles Banfield and Robert Westmacott, sang the navy farewell hymn.
than twice the amount that goes to our public school systems.
Education seems to be the solution for the control of excessive drinking; no solution is yet offered how to pick out the potential victims of alcohol addiction.
The majority of the 28 million dollars spent in a recent year by the liquor industry for advertising through various channels stressed the social advantages of alcohol consumption. Little emphasis was placed on the 750 thousand alcohol addicts or the 13,500 cases of alcoholic psychosis now in mental hospitals.
The peron who finds solace only in drinking or who cannot have a good time unless he is relaxed with alcohol, doesn't need alcohol; he needs a phytchirist. It might be well to recall what the pharmacologist says about alcohol: Internally it is a narcotic widely used as a stimulant but it may do more harm than good.
Turkish tobacco recently has been grown in the United States.
An Explanation
Several students have asked why the Daily Kenson published the souvenir booklet, "Little Man on Campus."
The answer is simple: Dick Bibler's LMQC is so unusual and so distinctive a mirror of the lighter side of K.U. Life that the Daily Kanson thought students would appreciate a more permanent record of his cartoons than the newspaper provided.
Students also have caked "Who makes all the money on this booklet?"
Again the answer is simple:
You do. You, the student-body,
will benefit from every cent of
the small profits on the Little
Man. No individual received
anything—either pay or commission—from the sale of the booklet.
Even the salesman worked as a service, not for pay.
What profits there are go directly back into the Daily Kansas, to make it the better student newspaper it continues to be.
