Dispensary Back To Normal After Influenza Siege
Hospital Authorities Hope to be Able to Care For Minor Operations This Spring
The influenza epidemic is on the decline among the students, according to authorities at the University host-organizing the conditions that have prevailed at the hospital for some time are much improved, and it is only last week that proper normal arrangements have taken place since before the Christmas holidays.
Last Saturday two operations were performed at the hospital. This is the first operating that the doctors have been able to perform on a patient as the operating room has been in use for bed patients. Some operating is done at the student hospital every year, and the authorities hope that they will be able to take care of any minor cases that may arise in the future.

Have Had Two Pneumonia Cases
"While the legislative committees were visiting the University during the last session not one visited the hospital, and we never would have given a chance to visit the hospital and to so we are doing."
Two mild cases of pneumonia have been at the hospital this year. Other patients have shown symptoms of pneumonia, but the doctors have been able to hold the conditions in check and nothing serious has developed. All cases of influenza are being isolated as much as possible to protect other patients from danger of contracting the disease.
Could Not Accommodate All Cases
The student dispensary is having many cases of eye trouble termed as "pink-eye", to deal with. This truition is a reddening of the white part of the eye and the eyeball. There are also many cases of sore throat and some of tonsillitis. The hospital has been fortunate this year during the "flu" epidemic in that it had but one other case of contagious disease according to Doctor E. Smith, University physician.
First Accommodate All Cases
During January the hospital had seventy-nine patients in bed and during February it had it 127. A total of 330 bed patients have been accommodated this year. The authorities at the hospital say that the number would be much larger had the room to accommodate the really needed cared for students have been placed to stay in their rooms and get care as best they could. The doctors as well on them at their rooms.
The average number of calls at the dispensary from Jan. 2, to Feb. 1, was 43.4 dally. From Feb. 1, to March 1, the calls averaged 63.9 daily; and from March 1, to March 13, 38.9 daily. The average number of calls at the dispensary from Sept. 10, to March 13 was 6,637; and from Jan. 2, to March 13, 39.8
K. U. Rock to Uphold House of Knowledge
While excavations for the new library are being made, preparation are under way for the foundation All of the rock taken from in front of Administration building is to be used in this construction.
The digging, blasting, hauling, and the doing of little else along the road for the last few weeks has not merely been for exercise, as many have thought. A great quantity of rock has been uncovered there and after that was excavated. Now we end of the campus it can readily be used in the new building.
The School of Fine Arts will not be disturbed much longer for most of the hauling and blasting has been done. As soon as the rock is removed to the crusher, the holes will be filled in and a terrace started. The landscape of that new part of the campus can then begin its development. There is no more uncovering of rock to be done, as a large supply has been piled up by the crusher and there is yet quite a bit to be delivered from the pit.

Back Yard Gardening Is Being Encouraged All Over the Country
"Making Gardens of Vacant Lots" is Slogan of Many Town and City Mavors
"Back yard and vacant lot gardening are profitable pastimes in many ways. They should be encouraged," said Mabel Travis Wood, of the comic book company York City in an article written for the March City Manager's Magazine.
Gardening was one of the topics at the National Recreation Congress, held in Atlantic City. Directors of municipal recreation from all parts of America paid tribute to gardening as a valuable form of play.
"Get the Garden Hobby" was the slogan of Elmira, New York, in its gardening program last year. A garden week was proclaimed by the Mayor and every citizen was urged to start a garden. Tips to town gardeners were featured in the daily paners.
As a result of this certain campaign the appearance of the city was improved and a general interest was growing up of homes, streets, and yards.
In cities or in large industrial towns a campaign of this sort is necessary to arouse interest in gardening, thinks Miss Wood. City and large town dwellers need to be educated to the garden idea and its possibilities. Detroit, Mich., Oakloch, Wik, Shawnee, which have instituted garden campaigns to interest the people in the production of garden products.

Laws Celebrate April
Honor "Uncle Jimmie" Green's
"Uncle Jimmy!" Green day, the annual homecoming day of the School of Law, will be celebrated Thursday night, April 5, with a banquet, probably at Wiedemann's tea room, Ernest Neumann '12, and Elmer Kemper '14, are in charge of arrangements.
Memory
"The women of the University have never been allowed to attend the banquet, but this year they will be given a special invitation," said Barney Bucher, president of the School of Law, today. "An out-of-the-ordinary profession is highly obtained, possibly one of the judges of the Supreme Court."
The first banquet in honor of "Uncle Jimmie" Green was given in November, 1915, when the present law building was dedicated in his memory to April in honor of his birthday, at the suggestion of Prof. W. L. Burdick of the School of Law. James Wood Green established the School of Law at the University in 1887. He re-established the School of Law after death, Nov. 4, 1919. After his death, the students of the School of Law continued to celebrate "Uncle Jimmie" Green day in honor of his memory. The nickname, "Uncle Jimmie," was first given to the dean in 1896. He was also as the "Patriot Saint of Football."
Novel uses for the ordinary garden variety of eyebrows have been disclosed by the answers to the questionnaire which guests must answer before the acceptance of their invitation to the Gridiron Banquet, March 28, can be approved by the chief rooster.
Professor is "Wise"
To Wiles of Women
In answer to the question "What are eyebrows for?" a professor in the department of physics has exhibited a knowledge of feminine wiles that would indicate that he uses his powers of observation outside the room. In answering the question, he says succinctly, "Ask any flanner."
Foreign influence may be noted in this reply: "Igh brows are to hagravate the workin' peepul." Another answer imparts the information that "eyebrows are to browheat people with."
"Stay Off Unless Good Enough; Walter Hampden Gives Advice To Stage Struck Footlighters
"Unless one has the ability to be a good actor, my advice to him is to stay off the stage," said Walter Hampden, who last night as Othello in the Shakespearean play of man mails hold Lawrence theater-goers' appreciation of the noble Moor in the service of the Venetian state.
"It was college dramatics taut started me on the long grind. At sixteen I played Shylock. For the four years I was Brooklyn Polytechnic, I took part in every play I had a chance. Only during my year at
"That is the advice I gave to my 16-year-old son when he first thought he wanted to go on the stage. Now he does not want to make the theater his life work but has settled with the CBS news channel den to a Kansan reporter. He rapidly applied lamp-back to his nosehead and the edges of his hair where the gray will not be denied. "Years of hard work, years of continuous study, years of experience, make actors; but with all these years of work, study, and experience, the great actress must have natural ability," he said.
Harvard was I not in some dramatic offering. People said that I had the natural ability and I believed them. For three years after finishing school in Brooklyn, I appeared in the theatricals in the English provinces. Then I applied for a teaching position and since then I have played in a great number of different plays."
"Othello," which Mr. Hampeen said is one of the hardest plays in his career, applies make-up and changing his garments. "Seldom," he said, "do I give an interview while staging it." During the last week Mr. Hampeen and his company offered eight different sets for Shakepean's Theater in Kansas City. The majority of these were Shakepeanplays which required elaborate settings and varied interpretations of theater portrays by Mr. Hampeen.
His has been the hard work coupled with natural ability, critics agree. Prolonged applaure at the final curtail last night showed how successful he was. He is one of the most ambitious repertoire which any present-day actor has attempted.

Where Do We Go from here!
LISTEN to the Old Grad (1914) dispensing pearls of wisdom to the crop of '23 about to leave the sheltering walls of alma mater. "All through my last year," he says, "I worried about what would happen when I left college to enter the cruel, cruel world."
"The realization has been a surprise. My boss doesn't wear horns and he lays down no sterner rules than I had followed in electrical lab or football practice—an honest day's work, and, when occasion demanded, and honest night's work, too. Nothing but the same old world as at college, only more of it. The basic principles were the same."
