A positive result to a spinal tap indi-
cates that a patient has bacterial menin-

Officials at Sparrow Hospital said at

he still is a patient at the hospital.
MSU has also been giving out
Menumune vaccinations to MSU stu-
dents and staff. The vaccination pro-
tects against the strands of A, C, Y
and W-135. Moorer said MSU has
vaccinated about 14,000 people with
Menumune since the school started
vaccinating about two weeks ago.
Each vaccination costs MSU about
Dean Sienko, Ingham County med-
ical director said the Center for Disease
ontrol usually recommends dispens-
ing antibiotics only to those who have
been in direct contact with a bacterial
eningitis patient and not to making
outine vaccinations readily available
hen only one case of bacterial menin-
itis has been detected.
This conflicts with the American
ege Health Association's sugges-
ion to make routine vaccinations avail-
ble.
But MSU decided to take that addi-
ior(al action as a preventative measure.
We are trying to be prudent in terms
f immunization,' Moorer said.
Sienko said now that the case is iso-
ated, the threat of meningococcal
neningitis should be cease on the MSU
ampus. ,

e're back to the baseline" he said.
Still, Sienko added, the vaccinations
SU is offering may help prevent
eningitis from- breaking out again,
ince college students are at a higher
isk of becoming infected.

Relax. Mateen Cleaves is not on the Michigan men's basketball team roster this season, but Best Equipment, a New
Jersey company, mistakenly thought he would be.
Cleaves basketball c.auses worry-
LANSING (AP) -The University of Michigan tried
hard to recruit Mateen Cleaves three years ago. It
failed, but you'd never know it from the looks of one
basketball.
The ball, for sale at the Great Divide, a sports appa-
el store in Cleaves' hometown of I int, ftures
Cleaves on a maize and blue basketball ,,=h the
Michigan logo and its nickname, "Wolverines"
Apparently someone at Best Equipment. the New
Jersey company that makes the basketball, forgot that
the two-time all-American does his scoring or tlhe
green-and-white Spartans of Michigan State Last sea-
son, the point guard -- now a senior led Mchinan
State to its first Final Four NCAA appearance in
years.
Cleaves' reaction?
"I'm not going to worry about it. he told ihe
Lansing State Journal for a story published vesterday
Kevin Lindsley, a spokesperson for the (rca_ Divdc
said the store had nine of the balls for sale Monday
night, lie said he told one of the stores co-owners
about the mix-up.
"H-le said he still wanted to sell them." Lindsley said.
John Lcwandowski, Michigan State's assistant ath-
letic director, said the college sent a cease and desist
letter to Best Equipment earlier this year.
I hat takes care of our obligation with the NCAA
because the company is supposed to take that invento-
rv off the shelves," he said.
Tcrry Livermore, licensing manager for Michigan
State, said the company's president told him a worker
thought C Ieaves was a Wolverine.
lhey had somebody new in the art department and
he, jut blew it," Livermore said.
lie said the basketball should never have been pro-
d.ced anyway.
1They can't feature any current players and they did-
n't get our approval," he said.

On Monday, Brown University
President E. Gordon Gee announced that
Brown would be the first university in the
nation to sign onto the WRC, but would
still maintain its membership in the l A.
But Gee said that Brown will eventu-
ally commit itself to one code. "It
should be very clear to evervone that I
do not find the progress made to date by
the FLA to be satisfactory, Gee wrote
members of Brown's Code of Conduct
Advisory Committee. "We will choose
the organization that makes the greater
effort to work collaboratively with the
other and that better preserves Brown's
.ability to make choices that protect the
workers' rights in accordance with our
code of conduct," he wrote.
The University of Michigan commit-
tee, comprised of students, faculty and
members of S01LE, will take a careful
look at the WRC at its meetine Friday.
Although Public Policy Prof. John
Chamberlin, chair of the Unixersitv's
Anti -Sweatshop Advisory 'ormmittee,
said he has not seen the fi nal diraft of the
WRC, he said the policy'looks like an
interesting proposal."
"It is a seri us proposa and obviouslv
