Boarding Clubs Offered Use Of TB Exam
Reports from Watkins hospital today show that every fraternity and sorority house on the Hill, already notified by letter of the Health service's campaign for tuberculin testing of food handlers has responded favorably.
Cooperation of the fraternity and sorority houses was gained as a result of a measure passed by both the Men's and Women's pan-Hellenic Councils, requiring the Greek groups to act, on penalty of a fine for failure to comply.
Several houses lack but one of having their entire staffs examined. Many houses have only a few more to be examined, who are expected to report in the immediate future.
Because restaurants and eating houses in the city proper are without the jurisdiction of the hospital, even though many of them employ student help, they cannot be provided for in the Health service campaign. Thus, it devolves upon the city council of Lawrence to pass a measure requiring tuberculin examination, which would be effective in contacting all students in downtown Lawrence cafes, as well as every other food handler in the city.
In order, therefore, to extend the scope of its activities to include not only students living in organized houses, but also those who eat in independent boarding houses and clubs, the student hospital is making arrangements to contact the independent eating houses.
Cooperation from them will result in the tuberculin examination of all their staffs, both student and non-student.
But they must cooperate! Independent boarding clubs serving students primarily are offered the same TB service allowed every fraternity and sorority house. It is necessary that they take advantage of it!

"In Congress lies the fate of American youth today . . . " lobbies an NYA student in the Campus Opinion columns. Confucius might have answered, "Best youth make buck, not pass it."

William Peter Jensen, the journalism instructor with the Prussian haircut and Seandinavian sympathies, is a Master Doodler. Teaching a class, he doodles all over the room. The other night while reading and listening to the radio in his tattered shorts, the doodling Dane proceeded to doodle on his flabby, flawless skin. By the time his apartmates had arrived Jensen looked like a salty mate on an oil tanker: flags, battleships, fish and fishermen murals adorned his corpulent body.

Not a trade-last: Anent Kay O'-Sullivan, Theta's entry in the Premium Popularity contest, an anonymous student remarked, "Boy, I'd rather look at her than eat." Which is putting it mild at that; we'd rather look at her than sleep in Professor Smith's classes.

One thing about this democracy of ours is that anyone with the price of a bottle of Aqua Velva can become one of the elite. John Erskine, "famous author," has gone out on a limb for the lotion in an advertisement reading "World's
Most Prominent After Shaving Club." No stoop, no squat, no slave use Aqua Velva and rub chins with the Great.

The other day we overheard a small girl, about seven years of age ask a waiter for a "dink." The waiter, ignorant of child paternal couldn't imagine what kind of ice cream "dink" was so he asked he what she meant. Thinking he was making fun of her sensible roofer for a "dink' o water" the child out of the cafe.
It doesn't seem so long ago the we were running into the village store with a vinegar bottle and the embarrassed order "Smell that a give me a quart" And what a chon it was to get an "egg once over! It defied our limited vocabulary. The best we could do was say "wing wong, wing wong" accompanied by expressive twists of the hands Judging from the jargon of the Hi waiters, most of them haven't gotten over the "wing wong" stage.
The full time teaching staff of the University numbers 257 person. In addition, the staff at Lawrence includes a large number of part-time graduate student assistant and at Kansas City a great many physicians and surgeons who assist in the clinics or gives one or lectures a week either with compensation or for a salary of $9 a year.
