ROTC Rifle Teams Schedule Matches
The Army and Air Force ROTC units rifle team has selected members and scheduled opponents for the 1957-58 season.
Now the fans can rest easy for they know that Mr. Jayhawker will be at the game Saturday to give that Iowa State Redbird a tough time.
But his stay was not for long. Yesterday a large, mysterious box was delivered by express to the Chi Omega house addressed to Judy Allen, Topeka junior. When Judy came home from class all the Chi O's were present for the unveiling. There in the box with his big black eyes staring up innocently was the Jayhawker.
The Navy ROTC started practice Thursday at the rifle range in the military science building.
International Club To Present 'Brazil'
She Got The Bird
From all reports it seems that quite a few Jayhawkers lost their heads over the KU-CU game in Boulder last Saturday, but we know one who did for sure.
Everyone was disturbed to learn that our loyal mascot, Mr. Jayhawker, seemed to have deserted old KU to stay out in the cool Colorado mountains among the Buffalooes.
The International Club is presenting a Brazilian evening, "The Carnival in Rio," at 7:30 tonight in the Jayhawk Room of the Student Union. It is the first in a series of activities by club members to promote better understanding among foreign countries.
The program will include movies, slides, and Brazilian dances. Three students from Brazil will take part. They are Inezita Neves, no town available, Paula Pinheiro, Rio De Janerio, and Marita Frank, El Salvador.
It also won third place in the Nebraska invitational meet and fourth place in the Big Seven tournament held at Kansas State College.
The combined Army-Air Force team won the national intercollegiate sectional match at Lincoln, Neb., and outscored all other Big 8 teams nationally last year.
Members of the combined team are Donald ohson, Omar Conrad and James Salyer, Kansas City, Mo. Dan Schrepel, Pratt, and Warren Rickenberg Topeka, seniors; Thomas Kennedy, St. Joseph, Mo. junior; Middleton Pimpins, Long Beach, Calif.; Ronald Strong, Abilene, Donald Catlin and Frank Williams, Olathe, John Kern, Colby, Morris Johnson, Caldwell and Gerald Brown, Kansas City, Mo., sophomores.
TSgt. Thomas Jones, assistant Marine Corp instructor and staff adviser to the navy team, said he expects a large turnout of freshman students to make possible three and possibly four teams.
The navy team has its first postal match scheduled against Stanford University for the week ending Oct. 26.
He said 53 postal matches and tentative shoulder to shoulder matches with Colorado and Oklahoma Universities are scheduled.
Staff advisers are M.Sgt. Charles Ryburn, assistant instructor of military science, and Capt. Donald Hawkins, assistant professor of air science.
Stouffer Project Lags
Student Apartments Addition Behind Schedule
The proposed million-dollar addition to Stouffer Place, married student apartments, is the only major campus building project lagging behind schedule, Keith Lawton, director of physical plant operations, said today.
Report Monday On Flu Cases
The number of patients admitted next Monday, as compared to the number admitted last Monday, will show us if the influenza cases are leveling off. Dr. Ralbh I. Canuthes, director of the Student Health Service, said today.
He said there is usually an increase in admissions on Monday. In the last few days the number of admissions has decreased as compared to the past two weeks, Dr. Canutson said.
He said 33 patients were admitted Monday and 41 a week earlier. There are now 39 patients in the hospital. About two-thirds of them have colds and influenza.
About 3,400 students have been vaccinated for influenza this fall. Dr. Canuteson said today. There is enough vaccine left for 1,200 shots, but the students are not coming to get the shots, he said.
Jayhawk Buffet Set For Saturday
The Jayhawk Buffet will be from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. Saturday in the Ballroom of the Student Union. Films of the KU-Colorado game will be shown in the Trophy Room of the Student Union at 11:30 a.m.

Stouffer Place is now half completed and the other half was scheduled for occupation in September 1958.
"Right now it looks a little dim," Mr. Lawton said, "but we hope Stouffer Place will be ready by next fall." When finished, the development will have 240 one-and two-bedroom units in twenty buildings and will have cost $2,250,000. The addition will be northeast of the present buildings at 19th and Iowa streets.
J. J. Wilson, director of dormitories, said the bids for the Stouffer Place addition will be let around Thanksgiving.
Business Building To Start Jan.1
The new Business School building will be started by Jan. 1 and should be ready for use in the fall of 1959, Mr. Lawton said. It will be constructed on Sunnyside Avenue, south of Malott Hall. Mr. Lawton does not expect the winter weather to hold up construction. He said cold weather does not hinder excavation and 20 below zero weather is required to hamper concrete pouring.
Joseph Pearson Hall for men is being built on West Campus Road, north of Carruth-O'Leary Hall. Excavation and foundation pouring is now in progress. It is expected to be ready for occupation in 1958. When completed, the hall will house 416 men on 7 floors.

Blake Hall Work Held Up
Renovation of Blake Hall is being held up for a decision by the Board of Regents. Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said the situation is to be studied by a committee of the Regents and representatives of the chancellor's office. Original bids for renovation of this building were turned down as too high. It is on Lilac Lane, between the chancellor's residence and Watkins Hospital.
Mr. Lawton said landscaping work to cost an estimated $72,000 started Thursday at the intersection of 15th street and Naismith Drive and will continue for two or three months.
The work will involve the area from the intersection south, to the north side of the new Music and Dramatic Arts building, including the service drive behind Hoch Auditorium, to Naismith Drive. Work will consist of contour grading, sidewalk construction, fire hydrant lines, underground drainage and two steam tunnel outlets.
