THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Kansan Urges Co-operation In T.B. Campaign
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
The control of tuberculosis on the campus is being advocated in a fourday campaign starting yesterday. This project has constituted one of the chief editorial campaigns of the Daily Kansan for the past twelve years.
The Daily Kansan immediately took up the campaign, emphasizing the necessity of having University employees and others who handled food and were connected with the University, tested in particular. Since that time the Board of Regents has required all new staff members to have a tuberculosis test immediately following their employment, and all other faculty members are requested by the State Board of Health to have periodic checks. The tests were also included in the physical examinations required of new students.
Back in 1933, Dr. R. I. Canuteson returned from a medical conference in the East, urging the adoption of x-ray tests for tuberculosis in Watkins hospital. At that time the older skin test was relied upon in most communities in this section of the country.
At first the x-ray examination was used as a final proof when the skin test re-acted positively. The last few years, however, only x-ray examinations have been given, as they have proved more reliable and less painful, and can be given with more speed and efficiency.
Since it is now possible to cure this disease, it is especially important to catch it in its early stages. Not only new students, but returning students should realize the opportunity that is presented to them free of charge and take advantage of it. With existing shortage of doctors and hospital space, every one should take all the preventive care of himself that is possible.
Health is one of the most pertinent problems of the day. With an eye to the future, when those now attending the University must have almost perfect health to obtain a job, the Daily Kansan, therefore, urges that everyone at K.U. co-operate with the tuberculosis campaign and appear at the hospital at their appointed time.

Rock Chalk Talk
By DIXIE GILLILAND
Miss Phi Psi-Rush week must always have its slip-ups, it seems, and this year was no exception. Laugh-mistake of the week came when several women rushees with misleading names were listed on the men's rush list. Among them was Frankie Holland, new Alpha Chi pledge. The local Phi Psi chapter swung into action upon receipt of the rushing list, and Frankie was immediately dispatched a lengthy letter describing a rosy picture of four gals to a guy at K.U. So good was the story, that Frankie passed it on several times the day of teas. Somewhere along the way the Chi O's got wind of the tale, and opportunity for revenge on several 1943-44 tricks played by the dear ol' Phi Psi's began to take shape. After due consideration, Betty Nichols, Chi O, was chosen spokesman, and in her best falsetto she put in a call to Kiappa Ppsi. To the unsuspecting receiver she announced she had a telegram from Western Union for anyone at the chapter house. The unsuspecting taker, diving for paper and pencil, wrote: "Understand Frankie Holland is on your rush list. Strongly recommend it for your group. — (signed), Chi Omega."

What's in a Name?-Two hundred eighty-one rushees call for a lot of party planning, and this year's offerings were not lacking in rusheeappeal. Inspiration can come from almost any source, but we hear one K.U. sorority commercialized during one date on its two South American born and reared members for a castanet - clinking, samba - swishing Latin-American party. For several hours the girls entertained with good-neighbor songs and led native dances to the delight of guests. Oh yes, the SAs' names? Betty Ann Schieber and Nancy Cook.
Girls In Texas Band Again
Women have been asked to try out for the University of Texas concert band for the second year, according to the Daily Texan. So successful was last year's co-ed band, the Texan states, that the organization will probably never return to an all male membership.

The Art of Rushin'—Speaking of parties, the Alpha O's added that honey touch with a cocktail (strictly on the soft side) party one night during rush week. On the menu were varations of martinis and wines, and AOPi specials, Alpha Anticmaker, Omicron Oblivion and Pi Eeyeds, served by bar tender Jo Ann Tindall. Hit of the evening, however, according to the hostesses, was their faculty-wife alum who obliged as the local drunk.

Ain't Nature Wonderful? — But four Jayhawkers don't think, since Saturday night. The back-to-nature-ites. Bill Banks, DU naval cadet who was a V-12 here last year, Bill Ruggles, DU V-12, Kay Brown and Betty Kieffer, planned a picnic "down by the river," but the idea bogged down—literally—when the car began to shink in a bed of quick sand. Combined efforts pushed the vehicle to safety, and the party turned to thoughts of foods. They gave it up as a bad deal, though, when Kay, rescuing her ocke from the mud where it was cooling, took a big gulp, and was promptly stung on the roof of the mouth by a wasp.
