Daily Staff Writer.
One of the biggest problems
which faced American universities
and colleges at the beginning of
the fall was Asian Flu.
Although the mutant virus has
been of concern throughout the
world it was of particular import-
ance to educational institutions,
where the great contagious quality
of the disease could t'ake firm grip
in the confined living units typical
of large universities.
Fortunately, this strain of in-
fluenza has so far proven very
mild, amounting to no more than
a few days' discomfort to its aver-
age victim. The only danger lies
in the fact that it can be the "last
straw" for people with more seri-
ous ailments such as heart disease
or pneumonia.
Anticipate Epidemic
Anticipating an epidemic, drug
companies began developing pre-
ventive vaccineIn large quantities.
But tip to now most universities
have received only enough to in-
noculate top priority groups such
as football teams, food handlers,
doctors and nurses.
How did schools prepare for the
expected epidemic and, now that
it has appeared at many colleges
and universities, how is the situa-
tion being handled?
University of Michigan
The University of Michigan re-
ceived approximately 5,000 doses
of vaccine before the fall semester
began. It was apportioned in such
a way that participants in essen-
tial services would be the first to
be protected.
Residence hall staff workers,
food handlers, doctors, n u r s e s,
medical and dental students were
vaccinated, and st u d e n t s who
came to the University Health
Service on the days innoculations
were given were also allowed to
receive shots.
Almost from the beginning ofx
the semester it became apparent
that Asian Flu was present on
campus, as Health Service reported
an unusually high incidence of
Upper Respiratory Infection. A
problem of diagnosing the virus
results from the fact that Asian
Flu can only be distinguished after
extensive laboratory tests.
Emergency Measures
But as it became increasingly
obvious that "Upper Respiratory
Infection" in such large numbers
must be a result of the new virus,:
Health Service created more space,,
in the infirmary, instituted a sys-
tem. of handling all students com-
plaining of colds in a separate part
of the building, .and arranged for
beds in University Hospital in
event of an overflow in the in-
firmary.
Finally, on Oct. 5, Dr. Morley,
Beckett, Director of Health Serv-
ice, announced that ."Asian Flu of,
a mild nature has reached epi-
demic proportions. .q
As of that date approximately
2,000 patients had been treated for
the virus. Since that time Health
Service has treated an average of
200 students per day with about 55
persons being confined to Health
Service Infirmary, although the
turnover there has been rapid-
students are generally confined
for a maximum of three days.
Most of those afflicted are being
taken care of in their residences,
requiring mostly rest, fluids and
aspirin until the virus runs its
course.
Decrease Mild
Experience at the University of
Michigan shows the disease to be
very mild, and for the most part
only inconvenient.
Throughout the crisis there has
been no word of more vaccine.
Drug companies have given no
encouragement or indication of a
supply in the immediate future
and Health Service authorities
have no idea when they will re-
ceive enough to innoculate the en-
tire student body.
What about other Big Ten
schools? Shortage of vaccine pre-
vails at all schools in, varying de-
grees, while most of them have had.
at least mild epidemics of Asian
Flu.
Latest word-from the State Uni-
versity of Iowa indicates that an
Asian Flu epidemic reached its
peak Oct. 1 when 125 students
were afflicted, bringing the total
to 650. The next day .70 cases were
reported,'a decrease of 50 from the
previous day.
Dr. Chester Miller, Health Di-
rector, suggested that students
who fear Asian flu should contact,
their. personal physicians for in-
noculations because "it will be at'
least three months before we get
any vaccine here for students."
University of Wisconsin
The Daily Cardinal, University
of Wisconsin, reported on Oct. 8
that no cases of Asian Flu were'
diagnosed at the Student Clinic,'
although many students with- flu-
type symptoms had entered the
clinic for treatment.
Dr. Archer P. Crosley Jr., said
that if an epidemic should break
out, a dormitory will be set aside
for sick students and a nurse as-
signed to each floor to care for
patients. A survey of living, units
on campus revealed one women's
residence hall to have 30 or 40.
afflicted students. But the average
for houses with between 30 and 50,
members was three cases.
There was no information on
preventive vaccine supplies for
students, although the football
team had been innoculated, having
received the vaccine b~ecause the
athletic department obtained it
independent of usual channels.
Students at Wisconsin Univer-
sity must have appointments to
see doctors at the clinic and the
clinic had been scheduled full for

ONE REASON engineering standards at
General Motors are so high is that GM
recognizes engineering as a profession. And
the men who engineer the many different
products made by General Motors are
respe.cted for the profession they practice.
That is why, 'when you are invited to join
General Motors as an engineer, you don't
simply take a job-you start a career.
It is a career that is rewarding both profes-
sionally and financially-starting on your first
day of association with General Motors at any
one of its 35 divisions 'and 126 plants in 70
cities and 19 states.
During your early days at.GM, for example,
you work with a senior engineer who guides
your career along professional lines.
You are also actively encouraged to pursue
your education towards an advanced degree.
For we at General Motors recognize that, in
doing so, you will become more valuable to
_1 _, ._- _ 1_____- .---__
All this is for a reason-and a good one.
Many of the men who will fill the key posi-
tions at GM in the future are the young engi-
neers joining GM today. This is not theory,
it is fact. For 14 of our 33 Vice-Presidents are
engineers, 23 of our 42 Division General Man-
agers are engineers, too.
Today we are looking for youi, LJI& _ -
such as, you--who may fill these positions
tomorrow. The rewards -both professional
and financial-are substantial. If you feel you
have the ability, write us. It could be the most
important letter of your life.,
June graduates!
A General Motors Representative will
be on hand to answer questions about
job opportunities with GM.
