Beware of the Dog
If the apathetic attitude evidenced by the majority of students on the campus is indicative, the 90-day quarantine for rabies which Governor Schoeppel has placed upon this county arouses no fears in the minds of the college students. And yet there is absolutely no disease which entails a more horrible combination of certain death and frightful agony than this malady.
Rabies is an acute infectious disease of certain lower animals which is caused by a virus occurring in the saliva. It is transmissible to humans in nearly all cases by the actual bite of the diseased animal. A particularly distressing feature of the human disease is the mental anguish of the patient between convulsions and even after paralysis has set in. Primarily a disease of the canine family, rabies is nevertheless contracted by about 16 per cent of those persons bitten.
Once rabies has developed in an individual, it is always fatal. The Pasteur treatment as a preventive inoculation is effective only if given before rabies takes hold. This treatment is either a 14- or 21-day series of injections on a daily basis.
A variable time elapses between the introduction of the virus into the body by the bite and the appearance of the symptoms. The average incubation period is six to eight weeks. The diagnosis offers no special difficulties providing the attacking dog is corralled immediately and observations and tests made.
Fourteen cases of rabies have been reported in this area of Kansas within the past year although only one was in Douglas county. A scar of this nature was experienced at Eudora recently but did not materialize.
Shortly before Christmas a thoughtless act on the campus nearly precipitated several cases of rabies. After one student was bitten in a laboratory, the dog was ejected from the classroom into the hall instead of being confined in a closet or another room until proper authorities could be called. As a result, the dog wandered over the campus and bit six other students before being captured. The dog died the following week from rabies but fortunately all the injured students were receiving the Pasteur treatment.
The rabies scare is not abated, however, since the diseased dog may have infected other dogs in this locality who are still carrying the germs in their incubation period. Consequently any stray dogs should be reported immediately to the newly deputized county dog catcher. It is important to remember that a dog may appear to be perfectly well at a time when his bite is infective.
Rabies could be eliminated in three or four years by a properly planned and enforced program of systematic muzzling and confinement.
Following the muzzling order in England there has not been a single case of rabies since 1923 and not one human death there from this disease since 1903. The previous annual average of deaths had been 29. From 1911 to 1940 the yearly death rate in the United States was 63 and the total since 1903 is well over 3,000. During the past three years four deaths have occurred from this disease in the local area.
Rabies control and elimination can be achieved and maintained only under the impetus of an enlightened public. It is up to every student to protect himself and his fellow classmates during the quarantine period.

If you're in need of a weed, we suggest you drop around to Professor Winter's Spanish class. The story goes that cigarettes are lying in all the, chalk trays. Professor Winter himself picked one up thinking it was a piece of chalk and proceeded to conjugate.
Inter-Dorm Council to Meet
Inter-Dorm council will meet at Watkins Hall at 4:30 p.m. Monday, according to June Peterson, president.
Waterloo spelled with a B. After dealing with numerous government alphabetical agencies, a vet in Dr. Melvin's Napoleon class worked himself into quite a state over the term B. B. Dr. Melvin had been explaining that the initials stood for simple but historical bits of bric a brac. But the veteran didn't get it.
"Say," he asked the professor later on in the class period, "just what did they do with those B. V. D."
They're either too old. A quickened interest was detectable in sculpture class when Mr. Carey announced that an attractive young man would model in a few days. When the appointed day arrived women students appeared, obviously dressed for the Van Johnsonish subject. Model for the day: Mr. Carey, himself.
This is a leg slapper. Bob Anderson, Beta, returned to Ottawa last week to have a new cast made for his broken foot. Everything went well and Bob was almost pleased with the results. The sad part is that he found on his return to Lawrence that he was unable to get his pants off over the cast.
On Whom the Bells Tolled. Alpha Chi's "Cherry" Henry and Joellen Hall officially (??) put out their pins Saturday night to Sig Alph's Kenny Nohe and "Achilles" Wheat. It may have been the excitement of the occasion that caused the ringing in their ears, but most likely it was the pins—three small bells.
Indeed a pleasure, Chancellor Malott and Lord Halifax were standing in the halls of Frank Strong when a student whom the Chancellor knew paused. The Chancellor made the proper introduction.
Said the student, "Tm pleased to know you, Your Majesty."
Hoping to see you soon----
