Noted African, Indian, Japanese
bring Madras message to campus
Lyman denies
flu epidemic
Many head colds but
few cases of influenza
War not near,
says Raiguel
Commentator ends Town
Hall series optimistically
With optimistic comments on
the conditions in the four major
sour spots in the world, Japan,
Germany, Spain and the Medi
terranean, Dr. George. Raiguel, in
ternationally known news com
mentator closed the years Town
Hall series at the Cornhusker last
night.
That war was not imminent, the
commentator was certain. Person
al contacts with the peoples thru
out central Europe last summer
verified his opinion that every
leader on the mainland is more
afraid of internal uprisings than
of enemy guns.
Referring to the dramatic situa
tion arising- out of the Munich
pact, Dr. Raigel declared that it
was more of a farce than Welle's
Martin Conquest of New Jersey.
While in Europe as early as July,
he had heard the complete details
of the division of Czechoslovakia
even to the extent that it was to
be settled by a general meeting
of representatives of the four big
powers.
Altho campus houses report
many ot their number logy with
common head colds, and some stu
dents down with flu, the cases of
real influenza on the campus in
no measure constitute an epidemic,
according to Student Health Di
rector R. A. Lyman.
Flu has all the sniffling and
coughing attributes of a cold, only
more severely, and accompanied
by a high temperature, headaches
and a feeling of exhaustion and
depression.
The student health service, re
ported Dr. Lyman, has encoun
tered few more than the usual
three or four cases, but are swab-
binsr the throats and treating the
colds of about 50 sore throated
students a day.
Spreading from the east, influ
enza epidemics have hit colleges
and universities one after another,

a brief respite of about two weeks

show, "Alias Aladdin," will take
place in Social Science auditorium
at 7:30 o'clock tonight and Thurs
day evening.
Characters to be chosen are of
all different types and personal
ities. Royal Bagdad social life,
with the Caliph of the city him
self shown in his moments of rhap
sody with his eight (according to
the last count) charming wives is
intermixed with the practical
salesmanship activities of the
Towel Tycoon J. P. Throckmorton
and his charming young daughter.
Vidian ultra-extraordinary.
And then there is the villain. He
isn't the ordinary type villain, but
one whose every movement, whose
every wrinkle of an eyelid or
twitch of a mustache depicts his
craft and cunning. To help him
carry out his evil deeds are a
chorus of cpmpus toughies, who
delight in cutting throats from ear
to ear.
On the pleasanter side of the
drama, some lucky boy will get
the part of Rita, love sick and
fancy free. If she only had a de
tective she'd get her man. Even
as the show opens she's loved eight
times and lost.
Salesman heart breaker.
There is Bob Horton, the glam
orous heart-breaker, the type that
makes any woman go 'sigh!' He's
a salesman trained thru years of
practice with the nerve of Ferdi
nand the Bull, as most heroes are.
