Such parties, as outlined in the tentative plans, will be given every other Friday from 9 to 11 p. m., and will be led by a guest. The parties will be held with the idea of making men and women of the University become better acquainted, men may take dates, but the women must also have some knowledge that they cannot come without them.

nfluenza Remains One of Greatest Unsolved Public Health Problems
Prevention of Direct Contact With Early Cases Is Best
Known Remedy
Washington, Dec. 5. - Influenza remains one of the great unsolved public health problems of our day and could be more devastating in California and South Carolina should sweep across the country, as did the epidemic of 1918-1919, little affected by the disease than was done then. Present knowledge of it is still so slight that we do not know exactly what microbe causes it nor just how it is spread.
A new definitely known facts, big methods of prevention. The disease is spread by human contact, especially through direct contact with early cases of the disease is the best means of preventing it, reports Prof. Edwin O. Jordan of the University of Chicago, Professor of biostatistics in a haustive study of the epidemic of 1918 and 1919. Closing schools, theaters, and churches is helpful in small communities where the people are more familiar with the impact. In larger communities where contact in street cars, shops and offices goes on, closing theaters and other public gathering places does not occur in checking the sord of influenza.
Professor Jordan points out that there seem to be two types of influenza. One is the common variety which infects a small number in a small number of cases at a time. This variety may even cause local outbreaks large enough to be spread throughout the world. The variety which infects an outbreak, spreading very swiftly all over the world. This type which infects a small number can have the characteristic of breaking out simultaneously in a great many widely separated bacillaries. These two types are caused by different organisms. Or they may be the same disease caused by the same organism which becomes more virulent suddenly. Which is the cause?
Strict personal cleanliness, strict isolation of all suspected or known carriers of the disease, crowds as much as possible are advised by public health authorities.

Broadcasting of football games in the future and freshman football competition are two of the most important events at Stanford. They are by the physical directors of the Big six conferences in their meeting to be held on Friday and Saturday at this week's
Decrease in the amount of gate receipts is the reason for the idea of discontinuing the broadcasting of games. Some of the directors believe that broadcasting the games cuts down materially on attendance. Some think that attendance is aided since it increases interest in the sport.
Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics, is in favor of broadcasting a few of the important games and not broadcasting the smaller ones. He believes that the attendance at the game may be by the radio description of the game.
Limited competition between freshman football teams of the Big Six will be a meeting. His plan is to allow the freshman to play two games a season, one at home and one abroad, and the freshman to play football schedules for their freshman, and Doctor Allen believe the same thing should be done here on a modern field.

Other things to be discussed at the meeting are football, baseball, and track schedules for 1929 and any other games. The rules for ketball rules will also be interpreted.
