The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, February 10, 2004 - 7 STOMACH FLU Continued from Page 1 One of the new cases was a student living in South Quad, a residence hall that had not yet experienced any cases of the disease. Levy said University Housing has already begun selective cleaning procedures for the stu- dent at South Quad. Although no tests have confirmed the presence of Nor- walk disease, epidemiology Prof. Arnold Monto explained the cause of the disease probably came from a viral infec- tion such as Norwalk, since students who have the disease have not shown signs of experiencing influenza-like symptoms. Monto also said such outbreaks occurred on at the Universi- ty in previous years. In those cases, Norwalk disease was found to be the cause. During a study the University conducted on an outbreak a DONATIONS because it to donate- Continued from Page 1 still allows University alum Chris Anderson received a his or her ir heart transplant from a Gift of Life donor five Accordin years ago.

When a person signs up to become a donor, Fifty peo he or she receives a card certifying the choice and 100 M to donate. lifesaving tr Olszewski said the donor card is important Currentl decade ago, researchers discovered that the disease spread through residence halls because dining services did not follow proper procedures while preparing salads. This led to the easy spread of the disease, causing the con- tamination of the entire residence hall. "Once it does start, it is hard to control. It can be pretty wide scale," Monto added. Instead, students have only shown signs of gastroenteritis infection, which can only come from a Norwalk-type infec- tion, Monto said. "The stomach flu doesn't do this. The flu is a respiratory infection, while these infections involve the stomach and intes- tines," Monto added. Moreover, the "stomach flu" is not an accurate term for the virus, but it is just a name people use to describe illnesses sim- ilar to the one students are contracting, he said. Similar infections have also appeared on cruise ships, such as in September. 2003, when 340 passengers became ill after coming in contact with the virus. Monto said it's normal for the virus to appear in areas where people are in constant contact with one another, such as cruise ships and college campuses. "Because dorms are semi-closed populations, if you get anything to start up, it can transmit easily. It's very easy for extensive transmission," he said. While students living in certain residence halls may have to deal with the disease for a few more weeks, to the majority of students living off campus the news of the outbreak hasn't affected their living habits. LSA senior Karandeep Singh who lives on Tappan Street, said, "It really hasn't affected non-residence hall students. I'm not really afraid (of getting the disease) because off campus hasn't had a problem yet." The good news for students living in the residence halls is that despite its ability to spread, the disease is not very serious and the current outbreak is not uncommon, Monto said. He added that the people who have the dis- ease might feel extreme discomfort, but they will be bet- ter in a few days. As long as people keep washing their hands and food is handled properly, he expects that the disease should subside in a few weeks. Until it sees conclusive data about the outbreak, the Univer- sity is continuing with its measures to prevent the spread of the disease. Levy said many students who were infected recovered over the weekend, but only after three days of no new cases of the disease will Housing halt the preventive meas- ures in residence halls. As for preventing future outbreaks, Levy said Housing can only do so much and does not plan on making any changes to residential hall procedures. "It is a seasonal condition and comes from multiple sources. So you can't get rid of it permanently," Levy said. clearly states an individual's consent - unlike the driver's license, which the individual's family to override nitial wish to donate. ng to Gift of Life, as of Feb. 1 a total Aichigan patients were waiting for ople can be helped from one donor, ichigan residents die waiting for a ransplant every year. y, the Spartans have 1,050 votes cast by individuals wishing to become donors, while Michigan is behind with a total of 806 votes as of yesterday. But the battle is not over. Students, friends and family can also call Gift of Life at (800)-482-4881 to become listed on its Organ, Tissue and Eye Donor Registry. Students mention their affiliation with the school, so their donations can be count- ed towards the contest. ADMISSIONS Continued from Page 1 gathered from high school counselors, the 1 decrease in applications can be attributed to stu- dents discouraged by the more extensive appli- cation and the distribution of the new application a month later than usual. The statistics also show that applications from Michigan residents are down 12 percent and nonresidents are down 21 percent. Peterson stressed that all these numbers are much too pre- liminary for close scrutiny and that figures com- piled in the summer would be more indicative of the state of University admissions. ' ROTC Continued from Page a problem for me." Banas, who also said she did not know that a rifle range had previously existed, said she would rather see the University spend money on renovation of North Hall - the ROTC's instruction facility damaged during the construction of the LSI building. "Right now I'm more concerned with the fact that the building we have our classes in, North Hall, is partially condemned. That's more important to me than a firing range," Banas said. Among some older cadets, however, the lack of a rifle range remains a salient issue. "I would say around half of the upper- classmen see a need for it," said Engineering senior and ROTC cadet Nicholas Mcintee. Regarding the younger cadets who are less concerned with weapons training, Mcintee predicted that their priorities would change with time. "I think that by the time they're seniors, they will look back and say, "I wish I had that experience.'" Rienstra also stressed that weapons train- ing should be a priority for all soldiers. He cited former Iraq prisoner of war Pfc. Jessi- ca Lynch, whose support unit was unable to effectively defend itself in an ambush, as an example of the importance of weapons training for even non-combat units. "It is a point of considerable concern for the Army that everyone gets significantly more weapons training," Rienstra said. Maj. James Blick, a recruiting operations officer for Central Michigan's ROTC pro- gram - which currently has an on-campus ThEsAIL... s'i rifle range -- also said he considers weapons training a vital part of the ROTC curriculum. "I guess I would be upset if they did that to us," Blick said, referring to having a fir- ing range down. "All soldiers need to be able to protect themselves and their fellow soldiers. That's why every soldier has to be proficient with their weapon," he said. the michigan daily AVAIL. SPRING/ FALL of '04. Lg. well- maintained hse. On Geddes between Washte- naw & Observatory.
