FREE FLU SHOTS:
Influenza Precautions
Recall 1918 Epidemic

By JOYCE FICKIES
All that's necessary for a stu-
dent to get a free flu shot next
week is a stroll over to health serv-
ice between 9 a.m. and noon and
1 and 5 p.m., Tuesday through
Saturday.
-They may get shots that proved
to be pretty effective two years
ago. Then, when the University
provided free injuections, results
showed that for every three un-
immunized persons, who were
stricken by the disease, only one
immunized person got it.
But 34 years ago it wasn't al-
ways this easy. When flu hit Ann
Arbor in the fall of 1918, there
wasn't much 'city and campus
residents could do but battle the
symptoms and hope for the best.

PART OF THE disastrous Span-
ish 'influenza epidemic which hit
the whole nation, the local one
laid Ann Arbor low. During the
five weeks of its duration, it.
claimed 117 lives.

Hardest hit was the barracks
of the Student Army Training
Corps, a group of enlisted men
who had been stationed on cam-
pus for training, where 58 died.
The whole state was under quar-
antine when the epidemic hit its
mid-October peak. By order of
Michigan's governor all public
gatherings "of any description"
were halted an theaters, churches
and schools closed.
* * *
IN ANN ARBOR, the Majestic
Theater closed down, a much-
publicized concert by Enrico Ca-
ruso was postponed twice and the
Michigan - Northwestern football
game was cancelled..
University president Harry
Burns Hutchins ordered all fac-
ulty and students to wear gauze
masks while in public to stop
the spread of influenzia. On the
advice of doctors, the few stu-
dents that attended classes sat
through them in coats and hats,
with the windows wide open.
Officials even warned against
too much use of chalk, since the
chalk dust in the air made breath-
ing more difficult.
Trained medical care was hard
to come by. An unofficial martial
law was declared in the middle of
.one night, when the SATC's com-
mander sent his officers out with
military orders for every doctor in
Ann Arbor to report to hospitals
which had been set up in Newber-
ry Hall and Barbour Gym. But
most of them were, already there
and, in addition, 20 senior medi-
cal students had been detailed to
help out in the emergency.
THE WOMEN of Ann Arbor
played a stellar role during the epi-
demic. Led by the wife of Uni-
versity regent Junius Beal, they
sewed masks, nursed flu victims
and even rented a private home
and converted it into a hospital.
Since trained nurses were not
available, even in hospitalized pa-
tients, they took over part of that
job also.
Caps and Gowns
Seniors graduating'in February
may make arrangements for com-
mencement announcements and
caps and gowns from 1 to 5 p.m.
tomorrow and Tuesday at a spe-
cial window in the Administration
Bldg.

Debate Set
On Foreign
PolicyIssue
Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.) and
Rep. Walter H. Judd (R-Minn.)
will debate "Our Foreign Policy,
Right or Wrong" at 8:30 p.m. Wed-
nesday on the Hill Auditorium
stage.
Sen. Douglas, a national author-
ity on economic problems known
for his opposition to "pork barrel"
legislation, was recently Sen. Estes
Kefauver's presidential campaign
manager. He was a professor at
the University of Chicago until his
election to the Senate in 1948.
* * *
WHILE TEACHING at Chicago,
the economy-minded Sen. Douglas,
served on many state and national
commissions. He was active in
drafting the 'original Social Se-
curity Act.
Enlisting as a private in the
marines at the age of 50, he
rose through the ranks to be-
come a Lieutenant-Colonel.
Author of many books on eco-
nomic subjects, Douglas was last
year elected president of the Am-
erican Economic Association.
* * * *
REP. JUDD, a medical mission-
ary in the Far East for many years,
is considered an authority on af-
fairs in that area.
Working his way through the
University of Nebraska medical
school Judd went as a medical
missionary under the foreign
mission board of the Congrega-
tional Church in 1925 to bandit
and malaria infested South Chi-
na.
After six years, during which
time he suffered malarial attacks
which nearly killed him, he re-
turned to the United States, warn-
ing college and church audiences
of the dangers of Communism and
Japanese militarism.
Returning to north China, he
was superintending a hospital
when the Japanese army moved in.
After five months under the Jap-
anese occupation, he came home in
1938, and told 1,400 audiences
during the next two years of his
experiences.
Elected to Congress in 1942, Judd
has been returned by his Minne-
sota constituents every two years
since then.
Tickets for the Lecture Series
presentation, at $1 and $1.25 will
be on sale at the Hill Auditorium
box office from 2 to 5 p.m. Tuesday
and .until 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Petitions for the four open posi-
tions on the Engineering Honor
Council are due at 5 p.m. Wednes-
day.
Interviewing for the one-year
posts will be held at 7 p.m. Thurs-
day in the Honor Council office in
the Engineering Annex.
 * * *
ANY SCHOLASTICALLY eligi-
ble student in the engineering
college may petition for a place
on the Council.

written in letter or other form,
should include the candidate's
name, experience, reasons for
wanting to be a member and
ideas for the operation of the
Council.
They may be turned in to any
Council member or at the office.
The council handles all viola-
tions arising under the Honor
Code in effect in the engineering
college. Students sign a pledge on
each examination that they have
neither given nor received aid on
the test.
Blood Study
Meet Slated
A medical meeting of interna-
tional importance is scheduled to
be held at Wayne University Col-
lege of Medicine Saturday, when
the medical school sponsors its
second annual symposium on
blood.
Between 200 and 300 people are
expected to gather in the college
auditorium to hear top-ranking
scientists from many states dis-
cuss latest advances in the study
of blood in their specialties, in-
cluding biochemistry, physiology,
pharmacology, biophysics and
clinical medicine. Twenty-five pa-
pers will be presented.
Gothic Film Group
Continues Series
The Gothic Film Society will
continue its "great director"~ series
with a showing of Erich von Stro-
heims' "Greed" at 8 p.m. tomorrow
in Rackham Amphitheater.
The presentation is open to
Gothic Film members and their
guests.

Lecture Hall
StudyMade
A term-long study of proper
classroom sleeping techniques has
culminated in the discovery of two
basic rest positions suitable for
lecture hall use.
Released in time for practice
during the final week of classes,
the two elementary positions can
be easily perfected for the first
trying weeks of the spring semes-
ter.
* * *
POSITION ONE has been de-
vised for students who occupy
seats in the front half of the lec-
ture hall.
The student can most easily
get into the position by placing
his weight against the seat with
the chin resting lightly on the
chest, thus giving the illusion of
attention to the subject matter.
Care should be taken to pre-
vent the mouth from sagging open.
It is also recommended that a pen-
cil be firmly grasped over the note-
book and occasionally moved for
added deception.
*' * *
FOR STUDENTS in the rear half
of the room, Position Two is sug-
gested. It provides the maximum
amount of rest for the fatigued
student.
Here the body is drawn for-
ward and the feet braced against
the row of chairs in front with
the head rested against the chair
back. A newspaper wedged un-
der the head lessens pressure at
the back of the neck.
This approach enables the sleep-
ing student.to open his eyes when
awaking, giving the appearance of
rapt concentration on the speaker.
It was noticed in the course of
making the survey that many stu-
dents try the chin on hand-elbow
on desk position. This method
should be avoided as it usually
brings disastrous results, since the
elbow collapses and the student is
caught napping.
Weather Talk
To .Be Given
Capt H. T. Orville, USN Ret.,
engineering director at a large
aviation corporation, will give a
talk entitled "How Weather Fore-
casting May Become a More Ex-
act Science" at 8 p.m. Tuesday,
in Rackham Amphitheater before
a regular section meeting of the
American Institute of Electrical
Engineers.
Capt. Orville will speak about
the techniques and electronic
equipment available for obtaining
information for weather forecasts.
It is his belief that elecrtonics
promises to transform meteorolo-
gy from an art to an exact science
in the foreseeable future.

Work by two faculty members
will form part of the Ann Arbor
Artists Association exhibit which
opens at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the
Rackham Galleries.
Furniture and fabrics by Ronald
Fidler and color lithographs by
Prof. Emil Weddige wil be on dis-
play. Both artists are members of
the architecture and design col-
lege faculty.
Rhoda Lopez, widow of the
late Prof. Carlos Lopez of the
architecture and design college,
will exhibit ceramics.
All three artists will present gal-
lery talks on their work at 9 p.m.
tomorrow.

Ir


N

The show's opening, originally
set for last Friday, has been post-
poned due to Prof. Lopez's death
last Tuesday. .
The Lopezes had worked to-
gether on the ceramic pieces.
Mrs. Lopez did the clay prepara-
tion, "throwing" and glaze
work. Both collaborated on the
designs which he executed.
Both Fidler and Prof. Weddige
have exhibited their work in mu-
seums and private galleries. Most
of the lithographs in the show by
Prof. Weddige were completed
while he was on a sabbatical leave
from the University last year.
