Dr. J. E. Moore Talks Tonight On Syphilis
Authority on Veneval Disease Returns H e r e To Address Students On Vital problem
A University graduate who has won a national recognition in the field of music returns tonight to the scene at his undergraduate schooling to speak on a vital student problem.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1938
Dr Joseph E. Moore, 14, associate professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University, speaks at 7:30 in the hall on "Syphilis and Its Control."
University students already have shown that they are interested deeply in promoting the current nationwide drive against venereal disease. The nearly 100 per cent approval given the idea of a Wassermann test in the questionnaire circulated last spring and the student response to it was overwhelmingly one voluntary basis in December are evidence of that fact.
Preceeding the evening program, the physician will be entertained at a dinner at the University Club by members of the medical faculty and of Sigma Xi, honorary scientific society.
It was through the efforts of the local chapter of Sigma Xi and its president, Dr. N. P. Sherwood, head of the department of bacteriology, that the address was arranged. Doe-ter had a regular meeting a regular meeting of the society.
Doctor Moore, who is editor of the American Journal of Syphilis and Veneral Disease, speaks tomorrow night in Kansas City before the Kansas City Academy of Medicine. Tuesday's lecture will be presented by medical men in Memphis, Tenn.
The speaker was a classmate of Doctor Sherwood at the University and later in graduate study at Chicago University. In a letter to the University professor accepting the invitation to speak here, he remarked that the principally the control of the disease because he believed students were more or less acquainted with the causes and symptoms of syphilis.

The President is going to have to call out the national guard if any more Campus Opinions are written on preparing to give all for the fatherland. The series has turned into a name calling contest in a nice way. One-word signatures would help the next writer too.
The navy men want to build battleships enough to defend both coasts. At present we would have a tough time taking care of both. On the other hand, why do we have to protect our coasts with a steel wall when the oceans can do it for us? It is 4,200 miles from Yokohama to Seattle. Most battleships today have a 5,000-mile range, 2,500 over and back. It would take ships 1,000 miles and army tanks in America to keep the ships refuled. The same goes for an enemy. Oil tankers make good targets, too.
This being National Defense Week, sponsored by the Reserve Officers of the United States, many patriotic peace organizations are out in full swing. We read somewhere that all wars are started to discover who is right. But they always finish by looking for who is left. We hope we're numbered among the blessed.
NUMBER 96
Navy men want battleships though, because they are still masters of the sea. You can just about cut one into two parts, and it will still float, because of its construction.
Personally we are going to miss O. O. McIntyre's daily column on Manhattan and Podunk. So me people, including many newspaper men, did not like McIntyre's work. He spent eight hours a day working on his column. He mentored many people away than probably more people away than he will time wipe out his name, but for the present we and millions of others will miss that happy glow that reading his column gave.

Wright Given Freedom
Insanity Plea Saves Aviation Official From Penitentiary
Los Angeles, Feb. 16.—(UP)—Paul H. Wright, 38-year-old aviation official, was given his conditional freedom late today when the same superior court which had convicted him of manslaughter decided he was temporarily insane at the time he shot down his wife and his best friend in his home last Nov. 9.
The same jury in the first trial found Wright guilty of manslaughter in the slaying of his pretty wife, Evelyn, and his friend, John Kimmel, traffic manager at the airport where Wright was president.
Wright had testified he found the two in an allegedly erotic embrace on the piano bench in his home.
When the verdict was returned Wright's father, Dr. J. J. Wright or Milwaukee, wept his relief.

Correction
Moscow, Feb. 16. —(UP) Four Russian scientists, marooned on an ice foe off the Greenland coast, late yesterday greeted an airplane which arrived to rescue them, with the announcement that they are prepared to remain on the ice to complete their observations.
Dr. Ivan Papanin, leader of the four men who have ridden through Arctic storms for 8 months and 18 days, said they were fully able to remain another three months if necessary.

Special Plane Will Drop
There's nothing much he can do about it. They're building or something. But at first he thinks the library has gone into that much-he-railed but little-expected Susie Q down the mountain side.
"Quiet Please, This Building for Study"? . . . This warning greets the study-bound student as he enters the library, and, trying to build up that sort of an attitude anyway, he tip-aces into the reserve room, requests a book in a whiper, oozes to a seat, nudges herself to chair, and launches on a cruise of unbothered perusal! and excitation.
Quaint Sign
'Quiet Please'
Ouite Misleading
When, of a sudden, somethin', resembling the burden liberation of herd of mustangs in a gymnasium invades the atmosphere.
He, of course, must go on with his study . . . minus thy beneficial attitude . . . however, he can, and does, cast a disillusioned glance at the "Quiet" sign on the way out.

Wassermann Tests Prove Favorable
Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the University health service, said yesterday that two positive recessions in 180 Wassermann tests to date.
Dr. Canuteson Reports Only One-Fourth of One Per Cent of Total Have Positive Reactions
That record, one-fourth of one per cent, compares favorably with the results of tests given at other universities, Doctor Cametuson said. In tests given at the University of Minnesota since 1953, 39 positive reactions were found in 19,000 examinations, or .2 per cent. Of these 39, 30 were ignorant of their infection.
Missouri reports a percentage of 1.01 after two years of the Wassermann test. Wisconsin, in its first year, examined 3400 students. Syracuse tested 2,000 last year. The University of Iowa has given the Wassermann test to students since 1924.
Doctor Canuteles said that finding two students who could be treated for a disease which they unknowingly had "justifies the expense of installing equipment for the test."
'Spring Dance' Nears Sell-Out
Only a very few tickets remain for the Dramatic Club's presentation of Philip Barry's play, "Spring Dance", according to a statement by Gerbart Tomn, c39, manager of the ticket sale.

Less than 50 tickets remain unsold for the two remaining performances tonight and Friday. However, according to Tom, chairs will probably be set up to take care of as many students as possible.
Tickets may be secured upon the presentation of activity tickets at the office in the basement of Green hall. The curtain rises at 8:20 p.m. As a whole, the plays this year have been better attended than those of last year, stated Tonn, a and "Spring Dance" has proved as popular as the two preceding plays this year.

Big Rally For Cagers Tonight
Jayhawkers To Leave at 10:45; Closing Hours Extended; Women May Attend Demonstration
Students will rally at the Santa Fe station tonight at 10:45 to send the Kansas basketball team to Norman in high spirits.
The Jayhawks, now tied with the Sooner for the Big Six lead, meet the "boys scat" in a crucial conference game tomorrow night.
Dr. F. C. Allen, varsity basketball coach, says that "Oklahoma has beaten Kansas on our own court, but if tradition or custom or precedence has anything to do with the outcome of tomorrow night's game, Kansas should win. We have in past history heated the Sooners more on their court than we have on our own. In helping to keep this tradition, let's turn out 100 per cent in a rally that will equal the one after we beat Oklahoma in football last fall."
The University band will play and the Ku Ku's and Jay Jones will lead the demonstration. Bailley, b'39, president of the Ku Ku's, who are sponsoring the rally, says that a good rally will go a long way in helping the team defeat the Sooners. Dr. Allen heads the list of speakers for the rally which includes members of the team and student esp enthusiasts. Freola Prelude a d Sylvester Schmidt, co-captains of the team for this game, will each tell their views of the coming game, and Elwyn Dees, trainer, will also talk.
Closing hours for women have been set at 11:30 in order that they can attend. Sororites have aIndicate their members will go to the station.

"We want everybody to be at the station at 10:45 sharp," he said.
