Influenza Victims Tax Facilities At University Hospital
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1923
Authorities Declare Patients Are Discharged Daily to Accommodate Others
The capacity and facilities of the student hospital and dispensary are taxed to the extremes due to the influenza epidemic, according to Ethe L. Peacock, superintendent of the student hospital.
From all indications, it is one of the busiest departments on the Hill. Students are continually coming into the dispensary for medication and the critical cases can be taken into the hospital for treatment, due to the lack of beds and floor room.
As soon as a patient is at all able to be up he is dismissed to allow room, for another of worse condition. Every possible room is being used for patients. The operating room affords a place for two beds. The situation has not yet reached a stage the office can be used to furnish the patients. Twenty beds have been arranged for use; two, three, and as many as four in one room.
Every Room in Use
"This is entirely too crowded for the small rooms. It does not allow air capacity for the patients," said Miss Pescock. "We are attempting to give the best care that is possible under such adverse conditions."
Isolated Cases Accepted
Three isolated cases of diphtheria and scarlet fever must be taken care of among the cases of influenza. Under the crowds of patients, it is for attendants to keep these cases separated so as to be fair to these patients and the other patients in the hospital.
The student hospital and dispensary has been very busy since Christmas vacation, the hospital has been crowded at all times, but not until the last week has the condition become so congested.
While at the hospital, the reporter heard a doctor ask Miss Peacock if she could make room for another girl and she said that at present she was ready. Two patients left this morning, but others were to enter immediately.

University's Services To Public Reviewed In K. U. News Letter

"The general public has little conception of the scope of service rendered by a modern state university," says Chancellor E. H. Lindley in an introduction to the current issue of the University News Letter, edited by Prof. W. A. Dill, director of the K. U. news bureau.
"The presence of trained men in practically all lines of service gives to the state impartial and disinterested expert opinion on literally thousands of questions every year," Chancellor Lindley says. "If the citizens of the state were called upon to pay the regular professional fee for these opinions the cost would be surprisingly large.
"As at present organized, however, the members of the faculty feel their public relationship to the state such that they are glad to put at the disposal of the state whatever information they may have which can apply to the problems the citizens of Kansas are facing."
Every department of the University receives calls for special information, as is shown in the news letter. The School of Engineering, for instance, is directing extensive improvements of the state pentimentary at a great saving to the state; gathering data on the production of flooded and damaged areas of the school, has completed an industrial survey of the state to determine the nature of industries best adapted to the different parts of the state.

Picked Men Make Final Preparation For K.C.A.C. Meet
Coach Schlademan Confident Jayhawkers Will Lead Field at Big Indoor Classic
Kansas will probably not have as many men in the K. C. A. C. meet, February 17, as Nebraska or Missouri, but if the showing by the men so far is any indication, the Schlademan athletes will annex another board-track victor they record. California has been winning Eastern Intercollegiate meets every with only a handful of picken.
Coach Sohlademan said that all Varsity men who show any promise will be taken, as well as a number of freshmen, who, however, will run unattached. Among these first year men are Collier and Black in the dashes, McAdow in the quarter, and Klemp in the mile. A number of others have an excellent chance to make the trip. Tryouts will be held Friday, Saturday, and Monday to determine definitely who will go.
Several Men Look Good
So far, the outstanding men are Fisher, Norton, and Graham in the sprints; Rogers, Norton, Dillenbue and Goodell in the pole vault; Poor, Norton and Griffin in the high jump; Nilson and Grumph will also compete in the shot put and the hurdles.
For the first time in the history of the K. C. A. C. meet there will be an open two-mile relay. The Kansas entries will be picked from the following men: Meidinger, Brown, Schau, Pratt, Sims, Kelley and Agilinii. In a mile relay run, four of the men will run: Fisher, Griffin, Fireballed, Kelley, Mediger and McCoy. Wilson, Grady, Paul and Meng will run in the mile.
All men who make good at the K. A. C. will go to the Illinois Relays, March 3. Five athletes, Rogers, Norton, Fisher, Poor, and Graham, look good already, according to Coach Schadman. Other players are the Missouri-Rankas, March 9; and the Missouri Valley, March 29.
Two men will be entered in the 600-yard Shannon Douglass cup race. With men entered in the two relays, Kansas will probably not have any varsity entries in the open quarter and half.
"More men are needed in everything," said Coach Schadman, "particularly in the hurdles and weights. Norton and Grady have been successful. We cannot make any predictions as to the outcome in Convention Hall next week, but the men are all in good shape and they can be expected to show a very encouraging showing in all events."
May Go to Illinois Relay
Matthews, who won the javelin throw in the Kansas-Nebraska duel meet last spring, is back in school and his presence is making field events during the outdoor season. Kennedy, no-hit, no-run hitter on last year's freshman baseball team, and who was making a good show in the discus, ably devote his time to baseball as it is in desperate need of pitchers.
"Life is an aching void to many persons if they can't attend at least one picture show per week," said Dean Raymond A. Kent yesterday. This large class of individuals, he explained, have a craving for the "moo-vie" type of satisfaction regularly because the ability to be satisfied within themselves, one of the most essential elements in modern culture.
Not Satisfied, Individuals Resort to the "Movies"
Dean Kent said that the average traveling man is a typical example of the person who is never contented in himself. His type of activity does not get better in the form of betterment; he entirely lacks social good will.
"With the exception of an occasional Robinson Crusoe, we are not individuals," he said. "It is a great handicap to personally yet get I do not believe that we can get real culture without contribution."
"Ideals of Government" is the subject of Prof. F. W. Blackman's lecture which he gave Wednesday to the teachers meeting in Topeka.

Seenical effects and costumes are decidedly unusual. "No expense has been spared in procuring the best and most authentic scenery and costumes," said Miss Cecile Burton, who is coaching the play.
