CALL TO ARMS

By PAT PECK
Feature Editor
Join the Army!
Or the Marines, Air Force, Navy
or Coast Guard.
Not only does such comment
furnish decoration for post of
fice walls, but it should prove a
boon to staff members of college
newspapers whose highest ambi
tion is to become an editor who
has nothing to do but sit with his
feet on the desk.
As an indication of the cinch
It must be to run a newspaper
at, for example, an air force
base, let us consider the prob
lemsthere aren't any.
Suppose, that a paper is being
published at one of several air
bases in the nation that doesn't
have an airstrip. Any time there
is a lack of news of other kinds
the editor can call for a two
column feature on the reason the
air base is a real honest-to-good-ness
air base even though one
can't board a plane within 100
miles of it.
Perhaps the most convenient
copy-provider for the editor is
the fact that men on the base wear
uniforms. It would be better copy
for the first column if they didn't,
but it wouldn't be perennial.
As the matter stands he can
run editorials on the necessity
of unholding the service by
wearing the uniform correctly.
The columnist can run a column
on the "esprit de corps" dis
played by properly dressed
servicemen. The cartoonist can
draw a cartoon of the properly
dressed serviceman. The pho
tographer can take a picture of
the properly dressed service
man and the serviceman can
rain therefrom ample inspira
tion for unbuttoning: his shirt
collar underneath his necktie.
Any space that may be left
over is devoted to sports. The 25
groups at the base each have a
basketball team, football team,
boxing team, tennis team, bowling
team, table tennis team, wrestling
team, chess team, checker team,
track team and poker team. The
scores and achievements of each
team, if given proper attention,
can be called upon to fill several
pages. And isn't it one of the car
dinal principles of a newspaper
that a man will read it if his
name is in it?
For a noval touch the editor
may pass the hat around the of
fice and use the proceeds to
bribe one of the small frv to
start a salt-water taffy selling:
drive to raise funds to buy a
j-abbit for every kid on base.
This stunt not only furnishes
excellent copy, but is guaran
teed to brinr recognition to the
editor by making him the most
bated man on the base.
A feature on inhabitants of the
region before the major's jeep
roiled across the virgin sod is al
ways a good line. It is always
a comfort to the lonely man to
Know that a beautiful Indian
princess, clad in a beaded Bikini
buckskin once entertained her
self by giving war whoops and
snaring mountain lions on the
spot where his barracks stand, be
fore his Great White Fathers in
vented the Pentagon and Joint
Chiefs of Staff.
The roving: reporter can gen
erally dig- up a column of in
terest by cruising over the base
collecting answer to such ques
tions as, "What would be the
advantages of having Marilyn
Monroe in Barracks B, over
those of having her in Holly
wood?" If the answers aren't
funny the pictures of the peo
ple who gave them will be.
In addition to the 'above morale
boosters, the editor adds a column
of advice to the lovelorn or puz
zled. He gets a number of
thought-provoking questions be
cause he asks them himself.
The paper at such an air base
generally only comes out once a
week, so the editor can keep his
tasks light by sitting at his type
writer six days out of every week
and typing the guide key drill.

The secret is to sleep north and

Student Health Treats About
80 In Current Flu Epidemic
The current influenza epidemic
centered in the mid-western part
of the nation has accounted for at
least 80 cases on the campus re
quiring treatment at the Student
Health Center.
Dr. Samuel I.' Fuenning, direc
tor of the Student Health Center,
reports that over 50 cases of up
per respiratory infections, 23 of
which are definitely influenza.
have been treated at the Student
Health clinic.
In addition about 30 cases of
influenza have been admitted
to the infirmiry during the nine
days since Christmas vacation.
Persons with only mild infec
tions have been advised to con
sider the attack in the same
manner as the common cold.
Dr. Fuenning remarked that he
was "totally surprized" at the pro
portions the epidemic has as
sumed, since there were very few
upper respiratory cases in Decem
ber. But, he pointed out, this is
the usual time of the year for
such infections.
According to Dr. Fuenning, stu
dents reporting in at Student
Health all seem to have been in
fected during Christmas vacation
in their home communities.
A common misconception,
according to Dr. Fuenning-,
among students coming in for
treatment is belief that penicil
lin and the sulfa drugs are ef
fective in combatting the flu.
The flu, as such, without any
secondary bacterial infections
he said, is not affected by any
of the antibiotics.
He said the only time antibiotics
are used is when an individuals
resistance is so low that there is a
chance of bacterial infection.
Two reasons are given by Dr.
Fuenning as to why the antibiotics
are not recommended for the
simple flu. First there is a possi
bility that an individual might
develop a sensitivity to it, and
second, repeated dosages might
produce a resistance to the drug.
Although Dr. Fuenning would
offer no predictions on the pos
sible scope of the epidemic, he
did say that students them
selves could help to avoid the
disease if they would get suf
ficient sleep and avoid physical
exhaustion. Late hours of study,
traditional at the end of semes
ters, remarked Dr. Fuenning,
might well help bring on a case
of the flu.
He discovered that he seemed
brighter than the men in the
army who slept on bunks situated
East and West.
He conceived the idea that
persons may absorb a certain
amount of magnetic current
that flows north and south if
they slept north and south. He
started writing- letters of inqury
and got some persons of influ
ence to agree with him. Then he
started experimenting on his
friends. Results are still pending-,
but if the idea catches on
it will mean a nationwide disturbance.
On the University campus alone
the furor might be phenomenal
Think of the rooms m campus
houses in which the bed will only
sit one way and leave space for
navigation. But if the only way to
get ahead of one's classmates is
to sleep north and south then it
will become necessary to move
the bed out in the hall or crawl
over it every morning on the way
to brush one's teeth.
In many modern houses the
the bedrooms are so small that
only east and west beds can be
installed. With the shortage of
building, materials people who
believe in N-S sleeping and can
not change the existing condi
tions may be sleeping out in the
yard in hammocks. This may
prove to be an undesirable con
dition. Carried to extremes, this prac
tice of sleeping would make the
entire U. S. Naval fleet obsolete.
overnight. Think of the conster
nation among the sailors on board
when the ships changed course. It
would increase the national debt
even further beyond the hope of
ever being paid to install revoiV'
ing bunks in every ship.
Perhaps the most terrible
calamity of all would in rail
road sleeping cars. Berths would
have to revolve too, to keep
passengers happy and two
berths will not fit crosways in
a car. Reducing the size of them
to make them fit this way would
add to the discomfort of the pas
sengers and result in a loss of
business for the railroads as
well as sleeping car manufac
turers. As near as it is possible to de
termine at this point, if the Texan
insists on revolutionizing the es
tablished practice of Americans
sleeping in any position they want
to, Texas must be re-estaoiisnea
at the north pole, where the in
habitants must ' sleep like pin
wheels in order to take the full
advantage of magnetic currents.
Or perhaps the grocer psychologist
nay decide that it is just as bene
ficial to carry a magnet in one's

"For his continual interest in

Opening Set
For Tonight
The semester's second Labor
atory Theatre production, "Miss
Julie," will open for a two day
run Thursday at 8 p.m. in Arena
Theatre, Temple Building.
The play, a tragedy, featuring
three characters, reflects the
thinking of Johan A. Strindberg
who believed that women were
inferior to men.
The title role, portrayed by
Lynne Morgan, a veteran of two
seasons of summer stock exper
ience, characterizes the eccentric
daughter of a European noble
man. Her principle action is con
cerned with seduction of her
lathers valet.
The valet, a young man of
high moral fiber, will be played
by Jack Babcock, graduate stu
dent in dramatics. Resisting the
advances of Miss Julie is the
problem of this valet with scruples.

In Artillery Course
Five University graduates sta

the
hospital. Because most of
children are bedridden,
members of the committee find
that their visits provide the chil
dren with a source of entertain
ment and amusement.
Parties make up the other
monthly visit to the hospital. Skits
are usually planned and given on
the evenings when the party visits
are scheduled. During the commit..
tee's visit during the Christmas
season, the committee acted out
the classic Christmas poem, "The
Night Before Christmas." A Santa
Claus was there, complete with
big Christmas pack, to hand out
gifts to the children.
The main object of the work
being done by the Orthopedic
committee, according to Miss
Rees, is "not just to go out to
the hospital every other week,
but to take something to the
children each time." So, In addi
tion to their bi-weekly visits to
the hospital, the group devotes
alternate weeks to making small
gifts that they may take to the
children. Miss Rees said that
this work had formerly been
done by the handicrafts commit
tee of the RCCU, but Is now be
ing handled by her committee.
The Orthopedic committee usu
ally confines its visits to children
between the ages of five and 14.
However, on special occasions
such as, the Christmas party, they
visited and distributed candy to
the older children.
In providing this service, the
committee finds that their work is
a satisfying reward in itself. Miss
Rees said that the children look
forward and anticipate their visits.
She added that much of the satis
faction of their work comes from
the children's appreciation of their
visits.
