The Mchgan Daily Wednesday, October 20, 1999 - 7 MENINGITIS Continued from Page 1 of Wilson Residence Hall and members of the MSU marching band, of which Busutill is a member. A positive result to a spinal tap indi- cates that a patient has bacterial menin- gitis. Officials at Sparrow Hospital said at sutill's wishes, no condition reports I be given, but they did confirm that 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. , " think there has been no transmis- from this student to anyone else. 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.

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.

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."
