AsianFluExplained; Vaccine On Display
May Have Existed In U.S.In 1890's
Asian influenza possibly existed in the United States in the 1890's, Dr. Jack A. Marshall, Student Health Service physician, told the student chapter of the American Pharmaceutical Assn. Tuesday night in the Student Union.
Asian flu antibodies have been found in the blood of persons 60 years or older, he said.
It is still not known which type of flu students have, as is taken from 10 to 14 days after the patient comes down with the disease for the physician to determine the type of flu, Dr. Marshall explained.
There are three main types of influenza: A, B, and C, he continued Asian flu is type A prime.
Different types of vaccine were given to the students, Dr. Marshall said. Some of the vaccine was for all types of flu, some for A prime only, and some did not include A prime.
A few students who were vaccinated still got the flu, he said, because the virus was already growing in the body before the vaccination. He believed the disease was less severe in these cases.
Shown In Exhibit Of Pharmacy Unit
From terra sigillati, the first known drug to be trade-marked, in the fifth century B.C. to the Asian flu vaccine of 1957, the National Pharmacy Week display in the Student Union traces the history of pharmacy.
This display is sponsored by the student chapter of the American Pharmaceutical Assn. A photo of it will be entered in the annual contest of the national organization for competition with other colleges.
The Arabs were the first to separate the physician and apothecary professions. One of the first of the apothecaries was Maimonides.
On display is a copy of his oath which ends, "They eternal providence has appointed me to watch over the life and health of Thy creatures; here am I ready for my vocation, and now I turn unto my calling."
Early medicines on display are terra sigillati; cinnabar, first used in 300 B.C., and rhubarb cantharide colchicum, first used in 550 A.D.
The newer Code of Ethics of the American Pharmaceutical Assn. is also shown.
Red Satellite 'Step Forward,' Students Say
The launching of the Russian satellite is a great scientific stride which will advance United States technology, said 8 of the 10 students interviewed by the University Daily Kansan Tuesday.
NEW YORK —(UP)—Hank Bauer lined a home run against the left field foul pole in the seventh inning today to give the New York Yankees a 3-2 win over the Milwaukee Braves to tie the series.
Yanks Nip Braves, 3-2
Bauer's drive came off relief pitcher Ernie Johnson of the Braves. It was the fourth home run of the game. Yogi Berra hit one off Milwaukee starter Bob Boull in the third inning with Enos Slaughter on base to give the Yankees a 2-0 lead. Homers by Frank Torre in the sixth and Hank Aaron in the seventh tied it up.
launching, the eight said it is a "great step forward" in science and the United States will have to work harder to catch up.
Asked what they thought of the.
Dr. Marshall Sittig of the American Lithium Institute will speak on "Lithium Uses-Today and Tomorrow" at the American Chemical Society meeting 7:38 p.m. Friday in Malot Hall. Dr. Sittig is an authority on alkali metals and has written on products and processes of the chemical and petroleum industries.
One student, Robert Elliot, Independence, Mo. freshman, believed the satellite is a threat to the United States.
"It shook me up," he said, "that they were first."
A skeptic, Molly Godwin, St. Louis, Mo. senior, said she "didn't believe it would stay up there."
Merry June Greenway, Cleveland, Ohio, senior—"It is a definite stride in science. If scientific knowledge is gained, I hope it will be shared by everyone."
Other comments:
Corlene Strong, Kansas City, Kan sophomore—"It will teach us about the atmosphere. There is no need to be frightened of Russia."
Albert Moore, Topea freshman—"We will have ours soon, but the Russians gained a big advantage by getting theirs up first."

Mary Jo Pugh, St. Louis senior "It won't lead to war, but to greater scientific development on the part of the U.S."
Donald Moe. Topeka freshman,— "It is a good thing. Now the United States will work harder and faster to get back into the race."
Richard Lamp, Kansas City, Mo junior—"It proves the Russian technological program is much more advanced than ours. Our propaganda will play this down, but we will have to work hard to compete with them."

Representation Clause Delays OK By Party
Approval of the Vox Populi constitution hinged on the matter of proper representation after a group of about 40 students heard the first draft Tuesday.
The snag to approval resulted from the clause that the majority of the students in organized houses must vote Vox before that house can have a delegate to the general assembly of the party.

ARTIFICIAL ARMOR—Being fitted with a suit of knit chain mail for the play "Henry IV" Part I, is Roger Brown, Topeka senior. Knitting from left: Jane Quaid, Norman, Okla. graduate student; Herb Camburn, faculty costumer; Phyllis Miller, St. Joseph, Mo. senior, and Lee Rankin, Birmingham, Ala. junior. The suit will be used in the first play of the year, Nov. 12.
William Wilson, Colby senior and chairman of the meeting, said, "The house has to go along completely or at least one person must organize 100 independent Vox members in order to become a delegate to the general assembly."
Council Members Named
Three members of a temporary executive council were appointed to select candidates for freshman representatives to be elected to the All Student Council. Jim Austin, Topeka senior and acting president of Vox who is at home ill, made the appointments.
The members are Wanda Wellie-
ever, Oberlin, Janetha Shemalzried,
Dighton, and Bill Wilson, Colby,
seniors.
Austin, as president, is an ex officio member of the temporary council.
Five more students will be appointed by the next meeting, Oct. 17. They will be chosen from Robert Lynn, Gainesville, Tex., F. A. Coombs, Arlington, Va., Robert Blackwell, Robert Terrill, Kansas City, Kan, Roger Whitten, Wichita and Ronald Barta, Salina, soph mores, and Judy Heller, Pittsburg junior.
Permanent council members will be elected later.
Freshmen interested in running for the ASC will meet with the executive council. The council will choose the candidates and present them to a general assembly composed of the delegates from different houses.
Questioning the plan of having the whole house in before a delegate could be granted, Terrill, said, "If you go into a house you're going to have to fight to get the whole house where as another way might be better."
A final draft of the constitution will be drawn at the next meeting. Representatives from the different houses will report on the voting strength they have in their houses.
Independent Support Begun
Wilson asid some successful efforts have been made to organize 100 independent students. He said if the students object to the present plan, a new way will be considered at the next meeting.
Speaking of the Allied-Greek Independent party, Wilson said, "People are organized under the supposition of belonging but they reap none of the benefits of belonging."
"I was a member of the ASC before and I've never been a part of such a joke in all my life," Wilson said. "Why? Because only three people ran it."
Plans were announced to send a pamphlet to freshman dormitories containing general voting information and how to apply for the primary election in the last of October.
