hundred-twenty students filled
the infirmary whose normal ca
pacity is 60. All reservations for
weekend guests in the residence
halls were cancelled.
By the next morning, 2000 stu
dents had been stricken by flu,
grippe or other respiratory illness
es. Of these, 1400 had been treated
at the Health Center. Others, in
cluding whole fraternity houses,
received attention from town phy
sicians. One fraternity had 60%
of its residents bedridden. At the
end of the day, 800 ill students re
quested treatment at the Center.
With the number of cases in
creased to 3000, the illness had
reached epidemic proportions.
Local doctors, at the expense of
the University, visited the wom- .
en's dormitories twice daily.
ROTC cancelled its common
hour. Intramural grid action
was marred by flu. Teams had
only a minmum number of play
ers and many of these were in
a weakened condition. Men and
women's swimming classes were
discontinued. The Lion's Den
offered ho t lemonade with
honey. Hot tea sales increased
rapidly.
On Oct. 19, the hospital re
leased 49 patients dropping the
total to 67. Over 600 box lunches
were still being sent to residence
hall bedrooms. Dr. Glenn advised

Students in any major field
in the College of the Liberal
Arts may combine Russian
studies with their regular pro

their degree. But students in

Why does a science major
study Russian?
"Just look around the min
eral industries library and
you'll see why Russian is an
important language to know,"
David Blewett, graduate stu
dent in geology and mineral
ogy, answered. Since much of
the work in soil geology today
is being done in the U.S.S.R.,
he said, recent information is
written up in Russian technical
papers and books.

students to "stay out of public
places, eat sensibly and get as
much sleep as possible."
After a warm, dry weekend
the epidemic began to decline.
However, between 500 and 600
students were still being treat
ed daily. Only 72 remained in
the infirmary and physicians'
visits to residence halls were
limited to once a day. Finally,
at the end of the month, the
illnesses subsided.
During the course of the epi
demic, one sophomore had been
critically stricken and died of
pneumonia complicated by toxic
anemia.

Kadis, junior in aeronautical
engineering from Trenton,
N.J. I was interested in Rus
sian before all the excitement
about Sputniks began, he said.
Kadis thinks that his knowl
edge may be of use as U.S.-
Russian involvements become
more serious.
Natalie Lucenko, freshman in
arts and letters, is just brush
ing upon the language. Miss
Lucenko who is of Russian de
cent and attended high school
in Yugoslavia, hopes to enter
diplomatic service for the Unit
ed States. "I can't go to Rus
sia, though," she said, "because
they wouldn't let me out
again."
Miss Lucenko finds that be
ginners have most trouble with
the new alphabet and strange
pronunciations, however one
instructor said his students are
a very serious group and find
Russian a lot easier than they
generally expect.

The Interfraternity Council Workshop programs held last
week were rated a success by both the group's adviser and
general chairman.
0. Edward Pollock, assistant to the dean of men in charge
of fraternity affairs, said the workshops seemed to be very
well run and attended by the fra
ternity members. "All the comb but
the panel discussion program.ut noted the poor participation
rn
ments I received were favorable,"
Pollock said. Only 46 fraternity members and
"It was one of the most sac-
advisers attended the program
cessful programs in the six
which discussed - two major na
years I have been here," he said, tional fraternity problems.
Pollock visited six individual
sessions, and attended the panel
discussion and the closing ban
quet.
Leonard Julius, workshops
chairman, rated the programs
successful and said he heard many
favorable comments about the
banquet speaker—Glen T. Ny
green, dean of men at Kent State
University and educational ad
viser to the National Interfrater
nity Conference.
The individual workshop re
ports will be given by Julius
at the IFC meetings. Two re

You know, a funny thing
happened to me on my way
over to Ethel's this morning.
Say, that sounds like the start
of an old joke, doesn't it? But,
honest injun, this is no joke.
Shopping in Ethel's could be
the wisest thing you've done
all week.
A Purse For Milady
Yes, we have purses and we
have purses. Ethel has an
enormous virgin wool bag in
striking orange and green
plaid. And practical—you bet
your bottom dollar. This
purse can double as a suit
case if you have to take it on
the lamb from the campus
cops some weekend. If you
like something smaller you
can choose from a variety of
leather, suede, and tweedy
wool pouch bags to match
your favorite winter skirt.
we've put in a word for THE
OTHER HALF. You say the
girls haven't been noticing
you lately, you say you just
didn't make the impression
you wanted to on your im
port last weekend?
Being That This Is
A Coed university
Well, Ethel has just the
thing for you. A new tie!
Conservative? Ethel has solid
colors. Dashing? Ethel has
tweeds and stripes in the new
fall shades. Just plaid loud?
Choose from prints or plaids
in every conceivable color.
