MENINGITIS
Continued from Page 1A
Yesterday, health officials at the
University of Virginia began the
school's second round of mass inocula-
tions for influenza and meningcoccal
meningitis.
In the first round of vaccinations
Tuesday, health professionals gave
2,000 meningitis vaccinations and
2,081 flu shots to Virginia students. The
school charges students $70 for the
meningitis vaccine.
The mass meningitis vaccination at
Virginia was not in response to any
reports of illness.
Sandra Murray, nursing supervisor at
the Elson Student Health Center, said
parents of Virginia students could sign
up their children for the vaccine last
month during parents weekend.
Murray said that although part of the
high amount of participation in the pro-
gram could be attributed to recent
meningitis scares on other college cam-
puses, a great success of the program
can be tied to the school's effort to edu-
cate its students on the health issue.
"Fortunately, we haven't had a scare
here, Murray said.
In a similar measure, about 1,500
George Washington University students
were vaccinated yesterday.
Health officials at Eastern Michigan
University are offering the meningitis
vaccine to students for $89, said Ellen
Gold, director of EMU's health services.
EMU has inoculated about 300 stu-
dents against meningitis during the past
month, Gold said.
Officials said although an EMU stu-
dent was admitted to St. Joseph Mercy
Hospital in Ypsilanti last month, there
hasn't been any "panic" on campus.
Gold said EMU health services tries
to ensure that students who receive the
vaccine don't leave the office without
information about the illness.
"We're trying to take the time to edu-
cate our students," she said "People
don't talk about meningitis. It's not an
understood disease."
Jim Westman, director of Purdue
University Health Services, said the
school negotiated a reduction in the
vaccination price. Purdue was then able
to lower the cost of the vaccine from
$103.50 to $70.
Westman said no cases of meningi-
tis have been reported at Purdue and
students have not rushed to get inocu-
lated, citing that health personnel
have been giving only about 15
meningitis shots per day on the
36,878-student campus.

uniforms at Moe's - walks the catwalk
inside of Crisler Arena.
The supposed secret of the design of
the uniforms, wasn't really a secret for
some.
"We ordered them back in February;'
VanDeWege said. "We knew what they
would look like when we purchased
them."
Michigan's manager of trademarks
and licensing, Martha Johnson
Chaddock, said the unofficial unveiling
was not entirely a surprise.
"it was an issue of coordinating with
our partner, Nike' she said. "It's difficult
for us to control when retailers receive
the jerseys and get them up for sale.4"
Some fan Websites reported the
exact style this summer. And Nike also
blew the cover when the company
revealed the North Carolina jersev last
weekend. The company worked on both
the Tar Heels' and Wolverines' models
together, with many similarities in the
final product.
A block 'M' appears near the top
right of the jersey, under the collar in
place of a written 'Michigan.' Michigan

men's basketball coach Brian Ellerbe
said. "I felt i was a nice design.
Michigan freshman guard Jamal
Crawford, who has had a glance at the
new uniforms, gave it his own raring.
"I1 give it a 10," Crawford said last
week, before the uniforms were spotted
at Moe's. Hut Craw ford said eren if the
jersey was ugly, Id still give it a 10.

Nike, the Athletic Department's
apparel supplier, brought the original
idea to Ellerbe two years ago. lie asked
the company to make a formal presen-
tation in the Michigan lockerroom fbr

input, Nike caen up with the final
design.
The Wolverines will retain uniforms
in each of the three colors they have
used in the past white, blue and
maize.

2 killed at Seattle boat repair company
SEATTLE -- A man in camouflage clothing and sunglasses calmly walked in
and shot four employees at a boat repair company yesterday, killing two of them.
The attack came one day after a deadly workplace shooting in Hawaii.
Law officers hunting for the gunman spread a massive dragnet around the area
north of downtown Seattle, using helicopters and dogs to search into the even'.
Residents were told to stay in their houses, while children at 20 schools e
locked inside for part of the day before they were sent home.
"He walked in and started shooting. That's all we know' said Pam McCammon,
a police spokesperson. Police said survivors told them that the man said nothing
before shooting seven to nine rounds with a 9 mm handgun.
A 19-year-old man who survived with a gunshot wound in his arm said the gun-
man didn't work at the Northlake Shipyard shop and he had never seen him before.
All the victims were men. The other survivor, a 58-year-old man, remained uncon-
scious in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the chest, hospital officials
said. Police did not identify any of the victims, though local TV said one of the
dead was 26-year-old Peter Giles of Seattle.
The suspect, described as possibly in his 30s, was wearing an ov ercoat over c-
ouflage clothing and a brown hat when he walked in the front door and went t a
back office of the shipyard on the edge of Lake Union.

Governor race may
be decided by House
JACKSON, Miss. - The Democrats
seemed headed for victory in
Mississippi's race for governor yesterday,
after a deadlock between the top two can-
didates made it almost certain the contest
would be decided with an unprecedented
vote in the state House.
When the 122 legislators - 86 of
them Democrats - convene in
January, they may have to do what
750,000 voters couldn't: settle the con-
test between Democratic Lt. Gov.
Ronnie Musgrove and Republican for-
mer Rep. Mike Parker.
A victory for Musgrove would be a
big win for the Democrats, who took
Southern governorships from the GOP
last year in Alabama and South
Carolina. They lost Mississippi to Gov.
Kirk Fordice in 1991, when he became
the first Republican to hold the office
since Reconstruction.
Musgrove received about 6,500
more votes in Tuesday's election than
Parker. But Musgrove fell short of the
5.0 percent-plus required for outright
victory. An independent and a Reform
Party candidate split 14,000 votes that
would have made the difference.
If absentee ballots don't break the
stalemate, the state Constitution calls
for the election to be decided in g
House. And that prospect troubes
Republicans far more than Democrats.
Report adds to HIV
treatment questions
Using sophisticated new technology,
scientists have discovered that the
human immunodeficiency virus not
only remains hidden and latent in t e
body, it continues to reproduce
spread within seemingly successfully
treated patients.
Coming on the heels of other dis-
turbing findings regarding the limits of
Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy,
the study reported in yesterday's
Journal of the American Medical
Association adds to a growing uneasi-
ness about treatment of HIV infection,
the cause of AIDS. AM

Presidential hopefuls
wrap up campaigns
MEXICO CITY - Four presiden-
tial candidates competing in the
first-ever primary of Mexico's rul-
ing party wrapped up their cam-
paigns yesterday amid raucous ral-
lies and warnings of possible vote
fraud.
The latest polls showed Francisco
Labastida, a close ally of President
Ernesto Zedillo, in the lead. But the
barbs flying between Labastida and
his chief opponent, Roberto
Madrazo, raised questions about
whether the Institutional
Revolutionary Party, or PRI, will
suffer a devastating split after
Sunday's election.
The primary marks a major depar-
ture from the practice in which
Mexican presidents handpicked the
PRI nominees, their virtual succes-
sors. The party has won every presi-
dential race since 1929.
If the open primary is a novelty,
however, the final-day rallies yester-
day were pure PRI tradition -
music-drenched celebrations packed
with cheering supporters in free T-
shirts and caps and many buse9o
by pro-PRI organizations and
unions.
U.S., China may
resume military tals
BEIJING - The United States and
China are close to agreement on resum-
ing military-to-military contacts that
were suspended by Beijing in the
of the May 7 bombing of China's
embassy in Yugoslavia, according to
sources in Beijing.
Following the visit of U.S.
Undersecretary of State Thomas
Pickering to China last week, the
sources said Chinese officials indicated
they were ready for the resumption of
those ties, which would mark a major
step in restoring U.S.-China relations.
