No Sign of Flu Outbreak Here Canuteson Says
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, said there has been no sign of an influenza outbreak here but warns students to take proper precautions.
He said Watkins Hospital had the largest number of patients last week that it has had all year.
"There were 30 people here with a variety of colds, sore throats, and two or three cases of virus pneumonia," Dr. Cauteson said.
He said that "flu" seems to be a common name to tag onto anything resembling sickness these days. This may be part of the reason for the present apprehension of an influenza epidemic, he said.
"The state laboratory has been unable to identify any cases of influenza in Kansas. They have found none at Kansas State University and none in this area at all," Dr. Canutelson said.
He said that the United States Public Health Service continues to issue warnings against a possible outbreak of influenza in the country this spring.
"The only thing that can save us in Kansas is the rice spring weather which will soon be upon us. If we can survive the spring vacation we may get through the year without any cases of influenza," Dr. Canutelson said.
Dr. Canuteson urges students to take the spring booster shot of the flu vaccine.
English Results In Late April
Students who took the English Proficiency Examination Saturday will not know their fate until the latter part of April.
This semester the students wrote on two topics from one set of questions rather than one topic from two sets of questions, as in the past.
David Dykstra, instructor of English, said he has heard no comments from students who took the test as to whether they preferred the new method of questioning.
Mr. Dekstra said it is too early to get a general idea on how the students did on the test as the papers were just handed out to various instructors for grading yesterday.
KU Men'Hack Up' Girls, World at Hatchet Club
College students are always discussing something. What do they talk about: Girls... recent world crises... religion... phiolsophy...
"A lot of the KU men have a lot of opinions, but few have facts," said L. R. C. Agnew, associate professor of the history of medicine.
Prof. Agnew felt something should be done. He moved from his apartment near the KU Medical Center in Kansas City to live in Carruth-O'Leary Hall, where he organized the Hatchet Club for individuals who like to talk about "what's going on."
"I organized the Hatchet Club to help students who want a relatively uninhibited, no - intellectual - holds-barred discussion group," said Prof. Agnew.
"An expert on the subject we're discussing gives us the we need to continue on a broad intellectual level. We try to keep away from personal opinion with few facts," Prof. Agnew said.
An informed campus personality is invited to attend the student discussion groups which are held at 9 p.m. every Tuesday in 107 Carruth-O'Leary Hall, with Prof. Agnew acting as a moderator.
"One of the fine things about this student discussion is that we do not carry the attitude that a student must stay with the group until every bloody dog is dead.
