Picture a beautiful freshman wa'k-
ing down the street, minding her own
business. Picture a car driving up
alongside. its occupants beini on a
mission of greatest seriousness and
good will.
As the car stops and a man jumps
out to accost the freshman, she takes
to her heels and races madly down
the street, pathetically crying, 'Ma-
ma! ", as the man climbs .wearily
back into the car with a perplexed
expression on his face.
This is the Gargoyle staff, merely
trying to obtain photographs of the

first issue of the year, with no intent
at frightening anyone.
Estimates to date have placed the
time of appearance of the October
Gargoyle at Thursday, oct. 23, when
staff members will approach students
on campus with the campus life
monthly, priced at 15 cents a copy.
Besides carefully selecting models
for the aforementioned feature from
a list of 678 names submitted, and
ultimately obtaining the pictures, the
"Garg" staff has prepared a poll upon
a question of international impor-
tanceto patrons of the old "skin

Besides these there will be a special
feature on the engineering school,

one school or college is featured in

Orientation, the usual advice to be-

reach the public when the first Gar-

To Talk Today
Capt. Davidson Will Open
Naval Lecture Series
"The First Line of Defense" w*Il
be discussed by Captain Lyal A. Da-
vidson, USN, chairman of the de-
partment of Naval Science and Tac-
tics, at 7:15 p.m. today in Room 348,
West Engineering Building.
This lecture will be the first of a
series of, 15 talks on the Navy to be
presented this semester by the De-
partment of Naval Science and Tac-
tics. Described in these lectures, held
every Tuesday, will be the organiza-
tion of the Navy, its customs and
traditions. Discussed as well will be
naval law and regulations of ship
types on offense and defense and
influence and trends in naval- arma-
ment.
Allinterested students and facuty
members are invited to attend the
series. It is intended particularly,
however, for officers or prospective
officers of the Naval Reserve.
Captain Davidson is leaving Ann
Arbor Oct. 13 to serve, for the rest
of the month, on a Washington re-
election board. The next lectures in
the series will be given by other offi-
cers stationed in Ann Arbor or
vicinity.
Raiy Weather
Brings Uual
Cold Onslaught
Changing weather conditions have
resulted in the usual onslaught of
colds this fall, Dr. Warren E. For-
sythe, director of Health Service i..,
ports.
No advice other than to use com-
mon sense in dressing to meet the
shifting climatic conditions was of
fered by Dr. Forsythe who warns
particularly against getting over-
heated or chilled.
The common belief about exercis-
ing and trying to sweat a cold out
is fallacious and may lead to compli-
cations. Swimming is especially dan-
gerous for those with colds since it
may cause chilling or allow infections
to enter the system via the nose-sinus
route or swallowing of impure water.
Best treatment consists in restrict-
ing the activities and going, to bed.
No medicines are known that will cure
a cold although some may give tem-
porary relief and make the patient
more comfortable,

partment.) I
By HOWARD FENSTEMAKER
Dr. Otto K. Engleke, director of
the Washtenaw County Health De-
partment, has numerous duties in
coordinating the forces of medicine
in this county in order that its citi-
zens may derive maximum benefit
from the Department.
Vital facts pertaining to the con-
munity,such as the number of bihhs
and deaths, the amount of illness
from communicable diseases and re-
ports on specimens submitted to the
state laboratory for examination
must first be collected and analy od.
The director must then mold the
health department program to meet
the community's particular needs, by
organizing local resources, facilities
and personnel and directing tieni
toward the solution of community
health problems.
Dr. Engleke also acts as health of-
ficer for the county, with full respon-
sibility for admir lstration of the
,health laws of the state.
His duties in this field include di-
agnostic services to physicians, quar-
antine of reported cases of communi-
cable diseases, investigation of epi-
demicM, provision of a, tuberculosis,
program, provision of a venereal dis-
ease program, and promotion of an
adequate maternal health program.
Health service for infants, pre-
school and school children, including
immunization agaitst diphtheria and
smallpox," physical' examination and
dental care of children must also be
provided.
The director reports regularly to
the health committee of the board
of supervisors the activities of the
department and discusses with them
programs for future work.
Miscellaneous duties- which never-
theless are of high importance to
the maintenance of an adequate
health department include contact
with the public through the news-
papers concerning the prevalence of
communicable diseases and proposed
health projects, addresses before
meetings of cgpimunity groups on
topics of public health, demonstra-
tions and exhibits, and the prepara-
tion of health department publica-
tions.

ble for a broad program protecting
