SLOWLY AFTER ATTACK
OF ILLNESS NOV. 10
DEAN SITS UP FOR SHOUT
INTERVALS BUT IS. VERY
WEAK
MAY TEACH AFTER CHRISTMAS
X-Ray Picture Shows. He May Have
Chronic Ulcer of the
Stomach
-. According to a stateirient from Dr
Estes the attending physician for Dr
Olsen It is thought that tho Dean is
improving as fast as could be ex-
pected considering his weakened con-
dition. He is anxious to get back to
his work and according to his physi-
cian it may bo that ho will bo able
to take up his duties after tho holi-
days.
Dr. Olsen Is permitted to alt up a
little each afternoon. Ho takes as
nourishment only liquids and Juices
of certain fruits. Ho takes very lltr
tie medicine and is said to be gain-
ing In strength and probably a littlo
in weight
According "to a statement from Dr.
Olsen he has suffered more or less
with. headaches for the past twenty-
ftvo yens.- Feeling that he was
troub1c3 with some kind of stomach
disorder Dr. Olsch 'while on h vaca-
tion trip during the past summer
motored to Rochester Minn. and went
through the Mayo clinic. Ho received
what the physicians claimed was a
thorough examination. X-Tay pict-
ures were made and proved negative.
He was told that he was practically
a sound man and that thero was noth-
ing that would justify Immediate
treatment.
Returning home about September
10 ho resumed his duties'' as dean and
head of sciences at Simmons Univer-
sity until November 10 when ho left
his school work because of headaches.
Ho was not able to 'meet science
classes for several days and on Sun-
day .morning November 16 he was.
taken with a sudden attack .of
stomach disorder and Buffered a
stomach hemorrhage of pratlcally
one-half gallon of color. Dr. Estes
was called and rendered aid at this
critical time and because of careful
attention and proper dieting. Dr.
Olsen seems greatly Improved.
X-ray pictures made at the local
Baptist Sanitarium roveal facts ac-
cording to ibest readings that may be
had that Dr. Olsen is suffering of
chronic stomach ulcer.
His many friends were glad to note
that he was able to sit for fifteen
minutes as specator at the Simmons-
Howard Payne football game which
was staged on Parramore Field
Thanksgiving Day.
Visiting friends who nro permitted
to call at the home of tho Dean state
that he is very cheerful despite his
severe attack. It is inspirational to
converse with him as ho seems so
. hopeful of a speedy recovery. The
faculty and students miss his services
and. are indeed anxious for him to
soon be able to resume his duties at
the Institution.

SPRING TERM DEBATES
ARE BEING ARRANGED
BY 0. AND D. COUNCIL
The men's Oratorical and Debating
Council with debates already ar-
ranged with Oklahoma Baptist Uni-
versity of Shawnee Okla. and Hcn-
drix College of Conway Arkansas is
proparlng an .unusually heavy de-
bating schedulo for next spring ac-
cording1 to Lawrenco Fitzgerald
corresponding secretary of the
council.
The debate with Oklahoma Baptist
University will be held at Shawnee
Oklahoma the second Friday night in
April Mr. Fitzgerald stated. The
question for debate has. not yet 1ccn
agreed upon but will bo in the near
future.
The debating- team of Hendrix Col-
lege will appear at. Simmons at some
time yet to bo decided upon Mr.
Fitzgerald said and added that in
this caso the question has not yet
been agreed upon.
Each of these institutions has a
reputation of putting out excellent
debating teams and they are expected
to offer somo. stiff opposition to tho
Simmons men.
In addition to these teams efforts
are being made to secure debates with
Wake Forest College of Wake Forest
North Carolina Dr. Fry's Alma
Mater Southwestern University of
Georgetown Texas and the Univer-
sity of Colorado of Boulder Colorado'.
Nothing definite can be said regarding
dates with these teams Mr. Fitzger-
ald stated. .
With thrco experienced Inter-collegiate
debaters now In school and a
wealth of promising material without'
experience to choose from prospects'
for-decisions over these colleges and
universities seem very bright. Sam
Morris Elmer Atwood and Lawrence
Fitzgerald are tho men who have
participated In Inter-colleglate de-
bates and all of them proved their
worth last year.
In addition to the three men how in
school it seems very likely at the
present time that tho debating teams
will be strengthened by the return of
Ralph Barnard a graduate ot Sim-
mons with last year's class and a
member of one of tho debating teams
of jast year who has Indicated that
he will leave his school at Panhandle
Texas and take graduate work in
Simmons next term. '
NO SCHEDULE MADE
FOR SIMMONS GIRLS
BASKETBALL TEAM
There will not likely be any inter-
collegiate basketball games in Sim-
mons this year for women according
to Miss Willie Rae McDonald upon
her return from a meeting of Texas
Coaches held at Dallas last week.
Miss McDonald stated that she fully
intended to arrangee a schedule for
the women's sextet but due to the
fact that almost all of .the colleges
of. the state had decided to discontinue
women's intercollegiate athletics
such schedule was made impossible.
"Most of the schools represented at
the meeting stated that they found
that intercollegiate athletics for wo-
men unadylsable and that they
would not. participate in contests
away from school this year" accord
ing to Simmons director of women's
athletics.
"However" Miss McDonald added
"this does not mean that girls in
Simmons will not get a chance to
play basketball this season. We Jn-
tend to have 'Inter-class games and
meet some of the local teams before
the season is over. Inter-mural games
will necessarily be emphasized this
year.'
Miss McDonald stated that sho had
a delightful time whllo attending the
meeting of the othletic directors of
tho state which was held with the
Athletic Club of Dallas.
