Watkins Patients Total Normal, Canuteson Says
The number of patients entering Watkins Hospital is slowly getting back to normal as only 19 were admitted Monday compared to 33 and 41 on the past two Mondays, according to Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the Student Health Service.
"Many of the students being admitted now just have colds, but there are some influenza cases still coming in." Dr. Canuteson said.
He said 12 patients were admitted Tuesday bringing the total number of patients in the hospital to 38. The average number of patients admitted on Mondays is about 12, he added.
About 3,500 persons had received flu shots by this week, but the number of persons coming to get shots decreases each day. Dr. Canuteson said.
"The shots will give about 70 per cent projection and the only way to combat a serious epidemic is to get vaccinated," he said. "There is every possibility that more flu will come this winter."
Jaywatchers Need Leaders
The Jaywatchers are still without leadership, but Bill Lyons, Lawrence businessman, is trying to gather the records of the organization so that the group can be organized to sponsor telecasts of KU basketball games again this year.
The organization was responsible for getting the two KU games in the NCAA regional tournament televised and also contributed to costs of televising the NCAA finals.
Mr. Lyons plans to find out how much money the Jaywatchers now have and check into the possibilities of telecasts this year by station WIBW in Topeka.
The three who were student chairmen last year, were named members of the corporation, as were businessmen Otto Schnellbacher, Topeka, Gene Morgan, Kansas City Kan., and Roy Borgen, Lawrence. All three chairmen have graduated.
Mr. Lyons said the student leaders left some of the corporation's records with him when they left KU. He said he is willing to help in any way possible, but that students are needed to assume leadership of the organization. He suggested that some campus organization might want to lead the Jaywatchers this year.

A WELCOME TO FOREIGN STUDENTS—Dr. John Ise is shown at the fifth annual Welcoming Banquet for KU foreign students, sponsored by the Douglas County UNESCO. On his right is Mrs. Robert Vosper, mistress of ceremonies.
Record Attendance At UNESCO Dinner
He said he hoped the students would realize that every land has its own kind of beauty.
The fifth annual "Welcome Dinner" for foreign students, sponsored by Douglas County UNESCO, was attended last night by a record number of foreign students representing 50 countries.
"Kansas is a very moral state," he continued. "For many years there was no beer, except what we brought in from Missouri. It is moral because anybody who goes through two months here in the summer does not look forward to spending 1,000 years in a similar climate somewhere else."
Dr. Ise said he hoped the students would appreciate the Midwest, since it is fairly characteristic of American society.
"To arrive at an understanding o. others is our purpose." said Jack Harris, city commissioner, welcoming the students to the community on behalf of the city of Lawrence.
He also expressed the hope that they would have a pleasant stay and would have an opportunity to meet the people of Lawrence.
Another speaker, Clayton Crosier, associate professor of civil engineering and member of the national UNESCO commission, said he hoped that acquaintances made at the dinner would develop into friendships and he offered to arrange for visits in small Kansas towns for foreign students.
"Learn a few things in conclusion," he advised the students. "Fit in well with American customs. Don't drink water—drink Coca-Cola or coffee because everybody does it.
"I hope the foreign students don't think that they know all about America after having been here only one year," he said. He explained America's diverse sections, from ancestry-conscious New England to the West.
The after-dinner program included Roger Brown. Topeka senior, who sang three American folk songs, "Wanderin," "(I) Wish I Was," and "The Riddle Song."
Dr. John Ise, professor emeritus of economics, spoke on life in America.
"I hope you enjoy your year at KU and that you learn something, maybe a lot. We certainly learn a lot from the foreign students."
The banquet, originally held to observe UN Day, is now solely for the purpose of welcoming the students.
Among the other UNESCO projects are: selling UNICEF greeting cards and note papers, aiding undernourished children of the world, Human Relations Day, foreign student hospitality, founding and helping support educational centers in the world, co-sponsorship of the Brotherhood Banquet in February, taking care of foreign dignitaries visiting Lawrence and placing foreign students in homes.
Election Bill Amended
Freshman Men Excluded From ASC Fall Elections
The number of ASC representative candidates on the ballot will be determined by the political parties. The Allied-Greek Independent party will hold an open primary where any AGI member can run. Vox Populi will have a closed primary with candidates selected by the party.
The candidates must present a petition with 25 freshmen signatures to Downing. Any freshman can run for the class officers of president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. The primary will cut the field to three persons running for each office in the general elections Oct. 30.
Petitions Due For Freshmen
Estimate Accident Damage At $550
Candidates for freshman class officers and All Student Council representatives in the Oct. 23 primary election must file their names and petitions with John Downing, Kansas City, Mo. senior and elections committee chairman, before midnight Thursday.
A 2-car accident at 7:30 a.m. today caused an estimated $550 damage, campus police reported.
60 Students Needed To Pick Queen, LMOC
An amendment to allow only freshman dormitory women to be elected at the All Student Council primary and general elections Oct. 23 and a decision to offer a referendum to the students to change the minimum votes needed to elect a representative to the ASC, was the main action taken at the ASC meeting Tuesday night.
A car driven by Gary K. Garber, Overland Park junior, hit the rear of a parked car owned by James B. Franklin, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, on Jayhawk Boulevard near Marvin Hall, officers said.
Police estimated damage at $200 to the parked car and $350 to the other car.
Thirty men and 30 women students are needed to select candidates for carnival queen and Little Man On Campus for the Student Union Activities Carnival to be held Nov. 9.
"Under the new plan for selecting the carnival queen and LMOC, we are asking for persons who are interested in aiding in candidate selection to fill out an application in the SUA office before 5 p.m. Tuesday," said Jim Michaud, Bartlesville, Okla. junior, and chairman of the queen and LMOC selection committee.
"The only qualification for this job is that the applicant must "not be going steady, pinned, engaged or married." Michaud said.
Students selected for the nominating committee will go in groups of three to the organized houses entering candidates Oct. 29. Each group will go to two houses. The judges will meet the students in the houses and they will decide which man or woman in the house should be entered in the queen and LMOC contests.
Candidates will be announced Oct.
10. One vote for both queen and
LMOC will be attached to the ticket
bought for entrance into the SUA
Carnival. The man and woman re-
ceiving the highest number of votes
will win. There will be no selection
of finalists as in past years.
"The winners will be selected entirely on popular vote this year because each person who attends the SUA Carnival wil have only one vote," Michaud said.
In amending the election bill it was decided to elect only two freshman dormitory women to the council for they are the only ones not represented.
Due to last year's freshman women dormitory representatives moving into sorority houses it leaves the freshman women's dormitories without representation, said Dick Patterson, Kansas City, Kan. junior, president of the ASC.
He added that to elect freshman men would only be adding to their representation because they are already represented through their living districts and respective schools. In the future the council plans to revise the constitution so that freshman dormitory women will be elected only in the fall instead of the spring.
Two-thirds of the council voted to offer the referendum that would place the minimum votes at 1 so that all districts and schools would have a vote. This referendum will be offered at the general elections Oct. 30.
Last spring a referendum was passed allowing that 75 votes or two-thirds of a group was needed to elect a representative. This left the School of Journalism and the co-operative and professional fraternities with members on the council but not having a vote.
Under the referendum one to 225 voters will be allowed one representative and 225 to 450 voters will be allowed two representatives. If students pass the referendum those two representatives sitting on the council with no vote will receive a vote immediately.
On the same referendum, two sections of the representation bill were dropped when a unicameral system was installed. They include the right for students to petition for a referendum outside the ASC and a clause that allows vacancies to be filled by persons who live in the same district.
Also taken up at the three hour session was the appointment of Ray Nichols, Lawrence sophomore, to fill a vacant spot on the council from the fraternity district left by a representative who didn't return to school.
Bob Billings, Russell junior and student body president, sugested, and the council approved, Jerry Elliott, Hutchinson senior, as the National Student Assn. Coordinator. An announcement was made of the invitation for the ASC to attend the annual peace pact dinner at Kansas State College Oct. 22.
Also a number of minor bills were repealed eliminating a smoking committee, honorary key chains for council members, and jurisdiction over traffic and parking which the Board of Regents took over last year.
