Council to Elect Officers
New officers of Pollock Coun
cil will be elected at a meeting
at 6:30 tonight iri the council room
of Dorm . 20.
Dormitory presidents in the
Pollock, area are requested by
President Joseph Gardecki to at
tend.
ulljr UatUj (E nU
notice of ' this violation will be
placed on their records. If occas
ion arises where these students
face disciplinary action again,
Simes said, this case will be con
sidered with the next violation.
The parents of the students have
been notified, he said.
The students tried to register
out of turn by registering early
or having someone else register
for them, Registrar C. O. Williams
explained. After they were caught
by College officials and turned
away, they returned and tried to
register .again. When caught the
second time, their forms for regis
tration were taken. They were
permitted to register Wednesday
and started classes Thursday.
Success of the new system of
registration, Williams .said, de
pends on the alphabetical arrange
ment. If students register out of
turn, confusion and slowing down
of the system will result. The sys
tem, he said, is designed to be as
efficient and speedy as possible.
Students, regardless of the be
ginning letter of their last name,
will be permitted to register twice
while in school at the head of the
registration arrangement. This
means that in four years, a student
should register first in order twice.

blood today at the Red Cross
bloodmobile at the American Le
gion home, S. Pugh street. The

Illness Called
Not Serious
By Dr. Glenn
Influenza at the, College,
which so far has filled the In
firmary to over-flowing, was
termed not serious yesterday
by Herbert R. Glenn, director
of the College Health Sendee.
Forty-one beds were filled in
the 30 bed-capacity Infirmary late
yesterday. Extra beds were moved
to the Infirmary from nearby .wo
men’s dormitories to take care of
the present rush. The beds were
placed in the sun rooms or dou
bled-up with others in the usual
one or two-bed rooms. A total
high of 43 was reported at one
time yesterday.
Glenn said he believed the sick
ness was probably grippe, and
not flu, as called in papers
throughout the country where the
illness has been noticeable;
Grippe, although similar in symp
toms in influenza,- is not as ser
ious, he said.
The illness of the students is
characterized by chills and aching
muscles, Dr. Glenn said. Dressing
warmly and other precautions
will not prevent the disease. '
Because it is a contagious or
contact disease, he said, merely
attending classes can expose the
student to the illness. The disease
is thought to be a virus disease,
he said.
Students who have been in the
Infirmary with the flu usually
stayed there three or four days.
They are released 24 hours after
the fever subsides. No students
have been turned away thus far.
How many more beds could fit
into the Infirmary could -not .be
immediately determined.
Asked what might happen -if
a major outbreak of the sickness
hit the campus, Glenn said it
would be up to the President’s'
office and “that bridge will be
crossed when we come to it.”
