MARYLAND MINISTER
ANNOUNCED FOR
SUNDAY SERVICE
On Monday, March 19, a motion
picture showing th'e ill effects of
tuberculosis and the importance of
preventing that dreaded disease will
be shown in Mooney Chapel at 8, 9:30,
10:30, and 11:30 in the morning. The
movie is free of charge, and will last
approxiihatell fifteen minutes.
Tuesday, from 10 until 12:30, Dr.
Cook will give the simple tuberculin
test that is available to all students,
faculty members, and other college
employees.
The test is harmless, leaving no
scars or bringing about no fever,
merely having as the only visible
sign, a pin scratch. Should the test
on the indi\#dual be classed as nega
tive, then the person can be forever
rendered immune to tuberculosis. If
a positive is registered, it could
mean that the person might have
some tubercile bacteria, and there
might be a slight reaction to the test.
This, however, does not mean that a
case of tuberculosis is inevitable, or
even probable, for there are many
who have infection without having
the disease itself.
Dr. Cook will explain fully the
tuberculosis iease when the tests
are given. The positive reactions of
the tests w/U be X-rayed the follow
ing week.
Spike Harrell, Suffolk, Va., Leon
Gibbs, Reidsville, and Joe Franks,

campus this week. Gibbs has been
at Camp Blanding, Fla., Franks at
Camp Wheeler, Ga., and Harrell with
the Merchant Marine at New York
City.
Gibbs and Franks have been as
signed to the infantry. Spike had
the misfortune to be injured during
a climbing drill, and the further mis
fortune to prove allergic to sulfa
treatment. He has been given leave
after hospitalization, and may be able
to return to the sea duty he wishes.
But if not, he will probably report
to the U, S. Biological corps with
which he was formerly associated.
Gibbs and Franks are in the pink
of condition, and gay as ever. The
M. & G. staff gave them a hearty
howdy when they made their sur
prise appearances. For report on
Timmy Darden, see page four.
