By THOMAS BLUES 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 Ann Arbor Civic Ballet Presents V T!ECIH Jva KITHEL TONIGHT at 8:30 AT THE LYDIA MENDELSSOHN THEATRE .

Boynton said mitt hat it will probably not be avail- on' ;ble to students until after Nov. 4 tuni nd that those living in large duri roups will have first opportunity 8, w or innoculation when it does ar- hou ive. said Indiana University In A letter from the editor of the Mis ndiana Daily Student reports that repr so far there has been no Asian ann' lu outbreak on the I.

Students, he commented, Tj ,re not too concerned about it. U Northwestern University Although no cases on the Evans- on, Illinois campus have been fficially diagnosed as Asian Flu, 48 cases have been reported to D he student Health Service as of Joh 1st week. ical The Daily Northwestern reports cha hat the Infirmary there has been spec rowded- and an annex was estab- pita fshed in the basement of a fresh- Staf ian women's dormitory.
