Tupper, Director of Consultant Services at the Health Service. Infectious mononucleosis is a disease prevalent among young. adults-such as students-whose symptoms include excessive fatigue and a large decrease in the white blood cell count. However, the symptom of fatigue is often psy- chosomatic. Diagnostic features, said Dr. Tupper, include a patient's history, the blood count, and the present positive test, a "heterophilic agglu- tamation" or Paul-Bunnell test. This -requires a four-hour super- vision of a blood sample under test. The virus affects nearly every organ in the body, Dr. Tupper said. The nervous system is af- fected in approximately 8% ,of the cases, often-causing numbness. An attempt is being made to deter- mine any possible effects on the heart, and for this reason an electrocardiogram is taken for all cases received by the Health Serv- ice. Building s j ARE YOU ELIGIBLE? rANCNG Friday and Saturday Nights FowerW all Six Rubble Trapped Bodies Sought By Relief Squads They searched. From 3 to 6 a.m. yesterday, the scene at Consumer's Power office building was one of desperation. A crew of 63 prison inmates from Jackson Penitentiary feverishly worked at digging out rubble from "the hole" in the basement of the building. Six Bodies Sought They sought the bodies of six men believed trapped beneath the mass of concrete and steel. At 4 a.m., a cool breeze began to blow, chilling the crowd of spec- tators. Then, the signal was given to remove a three story tower of the building. Cables were fastened, running from the tower to tractors below. The crowd tensed as the tractors tightened the cables. The tractors halted. The building's tower swayed almost gently. in the morning breeze. Then the foreman lowered his arm. The tractors moved. The tower fell. Flashbulbs cracked through the semi-darkness. All was still. Dust rose above the space vacated by the tower. Digging Started Again - That part of the building was now safe to work in; and digging started again. Cranes pulled tons of concrete away from "the hole." But, a wall had to come down. The demolition crew swung into action. A mammoth crane, its cables taut, hoisted a demolition ball of unknown weight. The crane's arms swung outward and back, then down. The huge ball crashed solidly against the wall. It cracked. The ball crashed down again. The wall cracked again, then collapsed after several blows. The air was quiet. "My husband's in that hole! Is he alive?" The anguished voice of. an expectant mother echoed through the rubble heaps. Desperate Digging Began The digging started in earnest. Each man desperately pulling, pushing, tugging, shoving at the mass.. Were they alive? The question remained unanswerd. Getting the rubble out of "the hole" was most important.

Cranes were utilized to break through walls of the building after most of it had collapsed. Rescue workers treaded lightly through passable sections of the half-constructed building, fearful that there might be addi- tional fallings. __.I NANCY DREW Vocalist BOBBY SHERMAN Comedian -- ~ .. ... _. ::... h '..:. ....,;4 {.:": .,S ..r... t.t.e .,,..,____________
