INFLUENZA RECORD SHOWS IMPROVEMEMT OVER FIRST OF WEEK  University Medical Authorities Advise Wearing of Masks As a Preventive  LIGHT CASES ARE SERIOUS  Regulation Requiring Isolation of All Cases to be Rigidly Enforced in Dormitories  
   No fear is at present evidenced in the University in connection with the influenza epidemic which continues to prevail, though not seriously, among a few University students.  Only three cases were reported yesterday to the University health officer. This is a marked improvement over the record of ten cases last Tuesday.              RED CROSS MAKING MASKS  The wearing of masks on the campus and in classrooms has not been made compulsory by the University health committee. Medical authorities, however, advise such action. A large number of masks is being made by the local chapter of the Red Cross in anticipation of such action on the part of students and towns-people. The masks may be purchased at the University Book store.  Dr. Steelsmith, University health officer, stated yesterday that light cases are serious, and are likely to be followed by pneumonia attacks. All cases are, therefore, under strict isolation. In the dormitories this rule is to be abserved most stringently. If minor cases are not isolated all students occupying the dormitory are to be placed under quarantine and not allowed to leave the house.   
   NO PUBLIC GATHERINGS  Since nearly 1200 students have become practically immune during the fall of 1918, owing to the epidemic in October, it is not expected that the disease will ravage University circles seriously. However, all public gatherings, including dances, lectures, club meetings and the like are called off for the time being as a preventive measure [a]gainst another possible serious invasion of the influenza.  The handling of the situation in the University has been turned over to University authorities who are working in earnest cooperation with the city board of health.

Miss Wilson, after her graduation here, was a teacher of English at Spokane, Wash. Later she was made vocational director for that city. Last July she completed a course in employment management at the University of Rochester, New York.
