MU Combating
Asiatic Flu Bug
University students are receiving
instructions on how to cope with
the Asian flu when and if it strikes,
according to Dr. S. I. Fuenning,
director of the Student Health
Center.
Representatives from each dor
mitory, fraternity, sorority and co
operative have received shots and
are now learning how to take care
of their fellow sturipnta in case

center facilities and the city hos
pitals would be greatly over
crowded. About 300 students have
been vaccinated, including organ
ized house officers, housemothers
and the football team.
Dr. Fuenning announced that the
preliminary student crew training
should be completed by the end
of the week. The purpose of the
plan is to have a corps of trained
students in each dormitory and
house who will be able to care
for those who contact the flu.
Instructions on how to set up
sick wards, how to treat the flu
and how to take precautions
against the spread of the disease
are covered in the classes.
Medical staff members and their
families have been vaccinated, but
faculty members have not been

Cob Action
Corn Cobs will instigate no ac
tion against fraternities taking part
In the riots at the pep rally Friday
evening, accojJmg to Gordon Warn
er, president.
Such action would be the re
sponsibility of the IFC, not of Corn
Cobs, Warner stated Monday.
The Corn Cobs are requesting
that no banners bearing house
names be carried to the next rally,
according to Warner.
"We're glad that the fraternity
men show enthusiasium", he said,
Ik "but we would rather it be chan
neled in other directions".
Large fraternity banners were
banned from pep rallies last Oc
tober, after similar incidents oc
cuted. The question may come at the
Corn Cob meeting Tuesday, ac
cording to Stan Widman, rally
chairman.

Lawrence
The Lincoln City Council passed
Monday a resolution expressing its
regret at the loss of "the counsel
and leadership of one of Lincoln's
k outstanding citizens in the death
of James E. Lawrence."
Mr. Lawrence, editor of The Lin
coln Star who died last week, was
a member of the Park Board for
many years.
Going Steady:
Dating Ideas
There have been various opin
ions between students about the
question of going steady.
View points change as the years
go by. Here are a few views by
students in 1938:
A Delta Gamma, who wears the
Sig Nu pin emphatically says, "If
it's true love, you'll want to go
steady. Why try and please three
different fellows every weekend?
Nine out of ten do not appreciate
the time and energy you waste
on them. How many desirable fel
lows are there on this campus?
You can count the desirable men
on one hand, and they are all go
ing steady."
But a Theta argues, "I get too
tired of 'em. It's more fun to go
with a lots of 'em and have many
friends instead of only one. I
haven't ever found the right fel
low, and besides too much jeal
included in the first innoculations
because they would not be of direct
help in case of an epidemic.
"We don't know when or If the
Asian flu is to strike, but we want
to- be ready for any emergency,"
Dr. Fuenning stated.
As more vaccine becomes avail
able, more students will be vac
cinated. Food handlers are high
on the priority list.
Nebraska Wesleyan University
has received 70 doses of the vac
cine, but as yet are uncertain as to
a method of distribution. Only
football players have received
their vaccinations so far. Dr. Sam
Dahl said it was probable that
the vaccine will be distributed on
a "first come, first serve" basis.
Dr. Chester Norman, school doc
tor at Union College, reported that
only 20 c.c.'s of Asian flu vaccine
has been received at the college.
The medical staff has been vac
cinated, but no student vaccination
plan can be undertaken until much
larger quantities are available.
To make the situation worse, Dr.
Norman said that several "sus
pected" cases among students
have already developed. A large
quantity of regular flu variety vac
cine is available and being given
to the students, he said.
Lincoln hospitals report no "ver
ified" cases of Asian flu now under
treatment, and Lincoln-Lancaster
County Health Department offi
cials say no case has yet been
officially recorded in the county.
Nationally, the Associated Press
reports that an outbreak of the
flu at the University of Alabama
at Tuscaloosa reached epidemic
proportions. Tests are being made
to determine if the outbreak is
of the Asian flu variety.
Texas A & M at Dallas reported
600 students on the sick list out
of the 7,400 students of the school's
population. Southwest Texas State
College at San Marcos closed last
Friday when 500 of the school's
2,300 students became ill. Officials
at that school state that classes
will resume this week.
Texas health department officials
state that Asian flu cases have
been confirmed in at least half
a dozen Texas cities.
Fellowship

1958 should be submitted in tripli
cate not later than Oct. 15, 1957
to the Office of the Graduate Col
lege, Social Sciences, room 111.
Fellowships are granted on a
competitive basis, judged by the
merits of the proposed research
and the qualifications of the staff
members.
Fellowships are not granted for
work to be used as theses for
advanced degrees and staff mem

past these fellowships have been
ruled tax exempt.
Coats, Ties At Yale
NEW HAVEN, Conn. Yale has
followed the Tay of Harvard.
Yale undergraduates have been
informed of a new rule which
requires them to wear coats and
ties for all meals in university
dining halls.
Coats and ties have long been
required by arch-rival Harvard,
but this is the first time in re
cent history that such a rule has
been in effect at Yale. Previous
ly, Yale undergraduates were re
quired to wear this attire only for
the evening meal and at Sunday
dinner.
Undergraduate Dean Richard
C. Carroll called the rule an ef
fort for "not uniformity but neatness."
Haven't Changed Much
ousy enters into going with one
man."
"People are too much fun In
large numbers," adds an Inde
pendent. "There are dozens of real
ly wonderful men on the campus
so why confine yourself?"
A Chi Omega believes, "I can't
get anyone to go steady with me.
Besides it wouldn't be right to
stage a fadeout on social life. By
going steady I would lose my so
cial security."
After wearing a Beta pin for a
, year and a half," says an Alpha
Chi, "I still look forward to dates
with him every weekend as much
as other girls do to dates with
different fellows."
An Alpha Phi adds, "If I went
steady, I'd want to wear the fel
lows pin and so far I haven't met
the fellow whose pin I'd like to
wear so therefore I don't go
steady.
Model Winner
This is the model car which won
a $1,000 university scholarship for
Terry Henline, university fresh
man. It was one of 19 model cars
selected from 2000 entries in the
1957 F i s h e r-Body Craftsman's
Guild model car competition for
a top award.
Terry Henline, University fresh
man, has been awarded a $1000
scholarship by the Fisher Body
Craftsman's Guild on the basis of
exceptional designing ability in the
company's model car competition.
Henline, one of nineteen boys
who were named national winners
in the contest, spent approximately
1000 hours building his model.

and meeting.
Kosmet Klub
There wilt be an important
business meeting for all new
Kosmet K!ub workers Tuesday
at 7:30 p.m. In the Union, accord
ing to Jerry Brownfield, Vice
President.
All sophomore who want t be
Kosmet Klub workers should at
tend whether they attended the
smoker last spring or not,"
Brownfield stated.
After two weeks of experience
a Tri Delt has decided, "I like
him more than anyone else and
we both feel "that way". She had
been spending her dates with a
Sig Chi pledge.
"It's fun to meet different per
sonalities and have lots of
friends," thinks a Sig Delt. "There
isn't any reason to go steady yet."
A Theta believes "You will
have all your kfe to be with one
person (if your lucky) and there
are too many fun people to settle
down now."
But a Tri Delt who is the one
and only for an SAE says, "I love
it. We go everywhere and have
good times. He's a wonderful
I dancer too."
Those are some opinions of girls
who were University members in
1938. Do they agree with the 1957
opinions on going steady? What
is your version?
sity for one semester, Henline will
enroll in Los Angeles School of
Design in Jan, 1958.
The nineteen winners now join
160 previous scholarship winners in
the Body by Fisher Hall of Fame.
Altogether the 179 master crafts
men have received university
scholarships valued at $525,500.
The Fisher Body is a division
of General Motors Corporation.
Since the designing competition be
gan in 1930, they have distributed
more than $1,250,000 in national,
regional and state awards to youth
ful craftsmen for their patience,
perseverance, and exceptional talent.

Play Guild
Established
For Youth
A new organization, the Ameri
can Playwrights Guild, has been
formed by leading figures in the
Broadway theater world for the
purpose of discovering and guiding
new writing talents for the stage
and television.
One of the primary functions of
the organization is to serve as an
agency which will encourage young
writers by aiding them in their
craft as well as in the proper mar
keting of their workds.
Members of an Editorial Board
of APG will study scripts sent in
to determine their suitability for
current Broadway and TV markets.
The Guild also furnishes the play
wright with a critical analysis of
his work and an evaluation of its
commercial possibilities.
Should the judgment of the Board
and that of the Editors be posi
tive, APG uses its best efforts to
secure a Broadway or TV produc
tion of the work. The Guild then
follows up by aiding the playwright
with all negotiations and in the
supervision of the details encount
ered in arranging for a production.
The policy outlined by the Guild
requires each playwright to write
a full set of particulars before
submitting scripts to be read. No
action will be taken on scripts
whose authors do not adhere to
the stipulated procedures. All in
quiries are to be made to the
American Playwrights Guild, Inc.,
5 East 76th Street, New York 21,
N.Y.
Warm Temps
To Continue
This Week
The warm fall weather will con
tinue for at least another day,
according to a report issued by
the weather bureau.
Today is expected to be fair and
warmer with
the tempera
ture to reach a
high of 76 de
grees. This is
still much ear
lier than a
year ago today
when the tem

dipping to a
low of 57 de
grees. The precipitation so far this
month is 1.53 inches which is .52
inches below the nromal 2.05 in
ches for the month of September.
We have had a total accumulation
of 27.37 inches of precipitation this
year wheih is 6:45 inches above
normal for the year.
The way the weather looks now
it will be quite some time before
the freshmen may discard their
