'Don't Spit on the Sidewalk' Brick Given to Chancellor
ANTI-EXPECTORATION BRICK — Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, left, accepts a "Don't Spit on the Sidewalk" brick from Dr. Ralph I. Camuteson, director of the KU Health Service and president of the Kansas Tuberculosis and Health Association.
A "Don't spit on the sidewalk" brick, a memento of an early day campaign to fight tuberculosis, was presented to Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy last week by Dr. Ralph Camuteson, director of the KU health service.
The 50-year-old TB slogan was invented by Samuel J. Crumbine, frontier physician, early Kansas health officer and former dean of the University of Kansas medical school.
"Don't spit on the sidewalk" was imprinted on bricks made in Coffeville and distributed for sidewalk use in many Kansas towns to remind people that spitting spread tuberculosis germs.
in celebration of the 50th anniversary last fall, the Kansas Tuberculosis and Health Assn. began a search for enough bricks to give one to each constituent association in the state and the National Tuberculosis Assn. About 150 have been collected.
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, who is also president of the Kansas association, said the brick given to the chancellor was mounted by the patients of the Southeast Kansas Tuberculosis Hospital as part of their occupational therapy.
Dr. Crumbine adopted the slogan as a reminder to keep people aware of tuberculosis. He felt the slogan was a little vulgar and would have preferred to say expectorate instead of spit. But the word was too long to fit on the brick.
Dr. Crumbine spearheaded other campaigns, including a traveling exhibit Pullman car that took health education to the people of Kansas, and a rowboat trip from Topeka to Lawrence to collect samples from the Kaw River to prove that Topeka sewage was reaching the Lawrence public water supply.
He also campaigned against the common drinking cup. This resulted in a greater use of the paper cup. A "swat the fly" slogan prompted a Kansas school teacher, Frank H. Roos, to devise the wire fly swatter.

Show Goes on for Two Despite Family Crisis
"The show must go on," is an expression as old as the theater itself. The term was applicable in an unusual way during a recent University Theatre production.
R. C. Mills, professor of biochemistry, and his wife had gone to the production in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building. As they watched the tense drama, they were unaware that a personal drama was taking place in their own home.
During the first act of the play, Adrin Eley, Marysville freshman, received a frantic telephone call at the box office. The Mills' baby sitter demanded to talk to Prof. Mills. Eley, realizing that it would be hard to reach him without causing several persons to move, wanted to know why.
Eley reacted immediately to the baby sitter's plight. He enlisted the aid of Michael Jackson, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, and in truly, heroic fashion, they set out for the Mills' home.
After much discussion and hesitation, the baby sitter told Eley that Rusty, the Mills' five year old son, had his foot caught behind the freezer.
The men arrived to find Randy Mills, 9, reading stories to his younger brother, Rusty, who seemed to be enjoying the situation. His foot was just securely lodged behind the freezer, but he was in no pain.
It was at intermission that Prof. and Mrs. Mills were told of the drama they had missed.
Eley and Jackson moved the freezer, releasing the young captive. After making sure the boy had suffered no broken bones, they returned to the theater.
Reluctant to take credit for quick thinking, Eley and Jackson explained their actions with the simple phrase, "the show must go on."

Students Elect Deans
Guatemalan Students Help Elect Deans
Robert Hernavez, and the other students on the Guatemalan Goodwill Caravan were impressed by the size of the campus, the spacious student housing and the number of women students and cars on the campus.
"These students along with professors and alumni elect the dean of the schools and the chancellor.
A Guatemalan, asked to compare his school with KU, yesterday said that students in his country are more active in running the university affairs.
The San Carlos University medical intern said that students at his school function much like a board of regents in campus government.
"At present, however, we are trying to reform this system to exclude alumni in the voting, giving even more strength to students' votes in government," he added.
"Students' views carry more weight in politics too," said Hernavez. "People pay attention and listen to the university students' beliefs in Guatemala."
Awed by Campus
Hernavez was impressed with the vastness of the KU campus.
The San Carlos University has no real campus, he said, but buildings for the different schools are scattered throughout the downtown district of Guatemala City.
"Fraternities and dormitories seem like wonderful cooperative living units," said Hernavez. "At San Carlos University we have only one university residence house for 30 men." he added.

sary than it is.
"Women at San Carlos University who get married never continue their studies," he said.
"We don't have many cars at our school so we have no parking and traffic problems," he said. "Almost all students walk or ride bikes."
Interpreters Are Busy
Guatemalan and KU student kept interpreters busy last night at a discussion of religious and cultural ideas of the two countries at the United Presbyterian Center.
The Rev. Robert Thorp, director of the Guatemalan Goodwill Caravan, and his students told of the work of the Student Christian Assn. at the San Carlos University at Guatemala City.
Dr. John H. Patton, director of the United Presbyterian Center, and Mary Thornton, Clay Center senior, told the Central American visitors of the Christian movements on the KU campus and at their center.
