Flu Epidemic Subsides Dr. Canuteson Says
There are no Asian flu cases at present in Watkins Hospital as the number of hospital patients finally returned to normal, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the Student Health Service, said Tv
Dr. Canuteson said 200 persons came to the hospital Tuesday for treatment, while at the peak of the mild flu epidemic there were about 350 persons coming to the hospital.
He added that only one person was admitted Tuesday while during the epidemic they were admitting close to 40 persons a day.
"If the number of patients had subsided during vacation we would say it was because everyone was away," Dr Cauteson said, "but the number of patients started to drop the week before vacation.
"That probably indicates that what the students need are more Thanksgiving vacations," he concluded.
He said that the Asian flu is subsiding over the entire state, but he still believes there is a good chance of a reoccurrence of the flu after the first of the year.
The hospital reported there had been 10 Asian flu shots and 49 booster shots given so far this week. Also there were 25 polio shots given this week. Dr. Canuteson said there were probably about 4,350 persons who have taken first flu shots this year.

Right-To-Work Debated Tuesday
Does compulsory union membership violate the fundamental right of free membership in a private organization or should the nonunion employ benefit from the advantages brought about by collective union bargaining with management?
These were the basic arguments of the affirmative and negative in an audience debate Tuesday on the question Resolved: "That Kansas Should Adopt the Right-to-Work Amendment."
A capacity crowd in Fraser theater heard Gene Courtney of the Centron Corp., Lawrence, and E. R. Zook, secretary-manager of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, debate the affirmative, John Ise, professor emeritus of economics, and Dan Hopson, Jr., assistant dean of the School of Law, spoke for the negative.
The right-to-work amendment will be voted on in the 1958 state general election.
Speaking for the affirmative. Mr. Courtney said that compulsory unionism is harmful. It denies a man the right of freedom of choice.
The proposed constitutional amendment is the best solution because it provides for members
and nonmembers of unions.
and nonmembers of unions.
The amendment, if passed, would be workable, he said. It doesn't violate the right of the union members.
Mr. Zook said that the main issue is forcing any American to join a private organization with the threat of loss of livelihood.
In the negative argument, Dr. Hopson said that the unions have the problem of union security. They want to have the right to a continued flow of membership and income.
Dr. Ise said that this country would have an industrial dictatorship if there were no labor unions. It is necessary to have more than the individual to bargain with the huge capital interests in this country, he said.
"The working man would soon realize that in a union bargaining shop he could get the same benefits in the plant if he did not pay to the union," he said.
New Lighting Plan
The beginning of a new campus lighting system has started with the completion of the new array of aluminum lights surrounding Allen Field House.
And furthermore, the modern lights are described as "nothing like it this side of the United Nations building in New York City."
The 54 lights, which are an original design, are the culmination of over a year's work.
C. G. Bayles, superintendent of building and grounds, said that with the field house built and the Music and Dramatic Arts Building being built one year ago, it was apparent that a new section of the campus would probably be strung out southwesterly.
He then suggested to Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy that instead of building the 30-year-old lights that the rest of the campus has, it would be better to try something more modern.
"We had to go looking for the new lights, since they were not for sale anyplace. Neither Westinghouse

nor General Electric had anything like the ones we wanted so they were designed and fabricated especially for us," he said.
"There are no lights like these as far as I know except around the UN building," he said. He has never seen the lights there, he said, but has been told they are similar.
Devine, Inc., of Kansas City, Mo. designed the lights and supplied the light heads to fit on the spun aluminum poles made in New Jersey. Robert R. Bayles & Associates, Mission, Mr. Bayles' brother, designed the layout and specifications for the lights.
