Delivering the first in a series of three Humanities Lectures at the University, Dr. Alfred Leslie Rowse said America's emergence from the great test of the 20th Century has given it a tremendous lift. The character of America's peo ple 50 years ago also resembled that of the Elizabethan age: "young, pulsating, rustic, back ward." He listed modern American poetry as an example of the coun try's rising prominence in creative ness around the world. Called one of the most distin guished writers now living on the history of the Tudor period, Dr. Rowse stressed that the founding of Jamestown 350 years ago was not so much the beginning of America but more the culmination of Elizabethan efforts to establish an English-speaking colony in the New World. In his initial lecture, Dr. Rowse, who is a Fellow of the Royal So ciety of Literature, described "The Elizabethan Age." Wednesday, his lecture will be "The Personality of Elizabeth I," and Friday, "Sir Walter Raleigh and America." The two letcures will begin at 8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday in Love Library Auditorium.

Foe By ERNIE HINES Copy Editor The University has escaped wide spread flu infections "so far" but the danger isn't over yet, ac cording to Dr. Samuel Fuenning, director of the Student Health Cen ter and University Health Services. Dr. Fuenning said that Nebras ka has been "extremely fortunate in comparison with surrounding universities" in the number of flu cases reported. The Student Health Center direc tor also stated Monday afternoon NU Education Council Plans Area Section The University may organize a regional section of the Joint Coun cil on Economic Education, accord ing to Dr Richard Bourne, asso ciate professor of business organi zation. Dr. Edward Allen, associate di rector of the Council, met Mon day with Chancellor C. M. Hardin and University ecconomics profes sors to discuss the possibilities of setting up such a regional group. Possibilities also were discussed about what could be done at the University to improve the teach ing of beginning economics cours es in an attempt to interest more students in economics. Also discussed were ways by which the University could better prepare future teachers in the in structing of economics in grade and high schools. Purpose of the Joint Council on Economic Education, a non-partisan organization with headquar ters in New York City, is to create an economic awareness on the part of all students primary, secondary and college. The council sets up workshops and gathers economic material from business, labor and agricul ture, in an attempt to help teachers across the U.S. be more competent instructors of economics. Dr. Allen, who taught at Colum bia University and was dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Maine University before joining the Council, works primarily with University professors of education and economics. f t - ' ' if 11 , i CourK'sy Sunday Journal and Star DR. ROWSE Campus Charity: 'II Where Your By LINDA WALT AUF Assistant This Is the first article In the series, "Where Your Money Goes," concerning contributions collected by the All-University Fund. The articles will explain each of the charities that AUF will donate to thU year, and the various purposes the charity serves. Twenty-five per cent of the mon ey collected during this year's Ail University Fund drive will be giv en to the World . University Serv ice. AUF's twelfth annual drive will be held Nov. 5 through Nov. 19. WUS aids students and faculty members in under-developed and war torn countries through a pro gram of mutual assistance. For the past three years, AUF has been the largest single contributor to WUS among midwestern Universi ties. Funds contributed by student and faculty members will be used for medical aid, educational supplies, emergency food and clothing, schol arships, maintenance of rest cen ters, aid to refugee students, co operative housing, dorms and stu dent centers, TB sanitariums, and will also help train students for parttime jobs iV U H' J ! 1 I ''1 1 w i A tMtMM,muHI- W''ri m anger Llemmaoims, BitiflBiq that "at present, all flu cases appear to be of the general flu variety. None of flu victims pres ently being treated shows the typi cal symptoms of Asian flu." But he warned that there is still a "possibility of wide spread out break of both Asian and general varieties of flu" on the Lincoln campus. The University doctor stressed that both varieties of flu spread easily and that the students have been widely subjected to flu virus es by students who have had the infection. "If students who have flu sump toms, especially those who run a fever, will report their illnesses im mediately, they will help to mini mize any further outbreak," Dr. Fuenning said. With the cooperation of the cam pus dorms, fraternities and soror ities, the Student Health Center has instructed individuals in each organization on the care that should be given flu victims. When a person gets flu he should report it to his health chairman, house mother or organization head in order to insure proper treat ment and to prevent more than minimum spread of the infection, Dr. Fuenning said. "Some students with fevers' have not been taking it seriously and have continued to attend classes and take part in activities. These people," Dr. Fuenning emphasized, have not been fair either to themselves or others." The Student Health Center re ported that 17 of their 25 beds! four beds were added in the past week were filled Monday with students who had "more serious cases of flu." Dr. Fuenning estimated that be tween 30 to 50 students are being treated for flu in the houses and dorms on campus. All of these stu dents are being checked daily by their health chairmen and a practical nurse from the Student Health Center. ' These cases are of less serious nature than those being cared for at the health center. Dr. Fuenning said there was a possibility that some of these stu dents might infect others, but that "it would be impossible to take care of the large number of flu cases in any other manner." The Student Health Center ha3 added two nurses to its staff since early October to help handle the illnesses. These additions pushed to 10 the number of nurses working at the health center. In addition to the nurses, there are two full time and five part time doctors caring for flu victims. "In spite of these additions, the staff has been pushed to do over time work," Dr. Fuenning said. The Student Health Center direc tor said that the campus "so far has seemingly escaped Asian flu of any proportions." He said that a few cases two weeks ago showed "symptoms highly suspicious of the Asian flu variety. He said, however, that the health center had not received lab Berqer, Young, Miller Named Blueprint Heads Heading rtie Publication Board for the 1957-58 Blueprint magazine will be Roger Berger, general manager; Bob Young, editor; and Lee Miller, business manager, ac- ffoney Goes1 In past years, WUS has aided student refugees in France) Ger many and Hungary; provided medi cal care for students in Greece, Burma and Indonesia; sent books and equipment to university cen ers in Pakistan, Japan and Korea; and established scholarships and loan funds in India and Africa. WUS, based on the belief that only through partnership can a real fellowship among students be created, is co-ordinated by an inter national secretariat in Geneva. The activities of WUS are directed to ward helping the student in his own country to become a leader of his nation tomorrow. Besides contributing to WUS, AUF ' will give to three national charities: the American Heart Assn., the National Assn. for Men-' tal Health, and the National Multi pie Sclerosis Society, and one local charity the Lancaster Assn. for Retarded Children.
