Canuteson Warns Flu Weather Here
Dr. Ralph Canuteson, director of the student health service, said today the conditions are right for an outbreak of influenza.
About 1,500 students, many of them new this semester, have received the flu serum now available at Watkins Hospital.
Dr. Canuteson urged students to get vaccinations to avoid an epidemic of influenza similar to the Asian flu outbreak in the fall of 1937 when many students were hospitalized.
United States Surgeon General L. E. Burney reported today that a wave of influenza is swamping hospitals in England.

Only 3 Accidents Over Icy Campus
Only three accidents were reported to the campus police during the recent ice storm. Police Chief Joe Skillman said the University "got by awfully fortunate."
"The buildings and grounds crew of Gene Blitch did a fine job of sanding the hill approaches in helping to keep down the accident rate," Chief Skillman said.
The length of a meter was fixed by the Paris Academy of Sciences in 1791 at one ten-millionth of what was then believed to be the distance from the Equator to the Pole.
