Waddell, the university physician. Influenza and colds caused 142 persons during one day last week to receive treatment at the in firmary; six of these were put to bed. The week before, 17 persons were put to bed on the same day. The epidemic, which started Monday two weeks ago, has kept the infirmary partly full, Dr. Wad dell revealed. Fortunately, Dr. Waddell said, "this type of flu lasts only three or four days." It was Dr. Waddell's belief that not only the change in temperature had caused the epidemie, hut atu dents' going to shows or otherwise beincl !n !s.rge crowds was also the cause. In order to avoid having the flu, Dr. Waddell advised that students should "stay out of shows or other wise large congregations, drink plenty of fluids and get lots of sleep. Although all of the beds in the infirmary were filled at times and members of the staff were also get ting sick, Dr. Waddell commented that "the students have been the most cooperative and about the nicest bunch of students we have ever had." Civil Service Tells Of U.S.'s Urgent Need For More Engineers There is an urgent need for en gineers to work in the federal gov ernment in Washington, D. C., and vicinity, university students were informed in a civil service bulletin. The Civil Service Commission in Washington is accepting applica tions now for these jobs which pay from $4,600 to $6,400 a year. To qualify for the engineer examination, applicants must meet a basic requirement of appropriate college study or experience or a combination of the two, and in ad dition they must have had profes sional engineering experience. Pertinent graduate study may be substituted for all or part of this professional experience, depending on the grade of position. No writ ten test will be given. Persons interested in applying may obtain information and appli eation forms at most first- and second-class post offices, from Civil Service regional offices, and from the U. S. Civil Service Coin mission, Washington 25, D. C. Ap plications will be accepted until rurther notice by the Commission's Washington office. Another survey, this one at Idaho state college, showed that almost hale .the coeds there sleep with tedddh" earse pandas or other stuffed toy animals. The "bed eheck" also proved that out of 176 girls in one dormItory, 13 sleep In lighties, while the rest prefer pajamas. No one was reported to ileep in her slip or birthday suit. The Busilness Men Choice at A ATISl@ 1317 S.....e. See College Draft Is Impractical Plan Says 'Look' Mag The college draft deferment plan presented to Congress by Secretary of Defense Marshall and his assist. ant, Mrs. Anna M. Rosenberg is called "an unsound, Impractica hodge-podge" by the issue of "Look" magazine which was re leased Monday. The proposal, which envisions de ferring 75,000 college freshmen each year, was originally put forth by the "Trytten Committee" headed by Dr. M. H. Trytten, a former assistant professor of phy. sics at the University of Pitts. burgh. Under this plan, to continue to be deferred, a student must earn high enough college grades to place him in the upper half of his freshman class, upper two-thirds of his sophomore class, and upper three-fourths of his junior class. This sort of "musical chairs," "Look" states, would pull the chair out from under roughly three out of every four students by the start of the senior year. In other words, out of an original 75,000 freshman students deferred, only 18,750 could hope to survive the highly competitive grades race which would result. The practical effects of such a plan, the magazine says, would be to discriminate in favor of grad. uates of eastern private prepara. tory schools. This would be so be cause the educational aptitude tests now in general use, and which all students would have to take, have been constructed by people who think of the typical training such students receive as constituting "educational aptitude." Seemingly the best advice to the young student, "Look" declares, is to go into military service at once. There is then a better chance of becoming an officer, and, no doubt, by the time the student is a vet eran there will be a new G.I. Bill to pay his way through the college of his choice. However, the magazine con. eludes, the eui-ivni, siaupede ci volunteers indicates that students are not waiting for this advice. They have already given It to them selves! Four Represent Carolina YMCA In Atlanta Meet Four representatives of the Caro lina YMCA were present at the annual meeting of the Southern Area Student Council of the Na tional YMCA which met Feb. 23. 25 in Atlanta, Ga.
