Infirmary Busy
As Cold Wave
Stings Campus
Colds, Sore Throats, Flu
Called Principal Ailments
In Mild Campus Wheeze
By Juanita Bartlett
Many students were treated at
Gilbert Memorial Infirmary this
week and some were sent to their
quarters with temperatures rang
ing higher than 99 degrees as a
wave of influenza swept the cam
pus.
Dr. Ralph E. Wenzell, Univer
sity medical director, said the
disease had not reached serious
proportions, however.
Students have flooded the Infirm
ary since Monday, officials said, and
most of them were suffering from
flu in a mild form. Some had colds
and sore throats.
Reasons
Dr. Wenzell today said 40 stu
dents were admitted, but even thlB
great lnflnx of new patients did not
tax infirmary facilities to capacity.
He said the majority of the cases
were respiratory infections and in
fluenza, but many have been treated
for bronchitis and throat ailments.
Officials attributed the influenza
outbreak to a sudden change in tem
perature. Influenza cases approach
ing epidemic proportions have been
reported in many parts of the nation.
An Influenza epidemic last Febru
ary hit the campus. Officials said at
that time that cold weather probably
had nothing to do with the spread
of the virus. That rapid spread on
campus last winter was attributed to
the nationwide proportions of the
disease.
No Core
Officials said there is no known
cure for influenza. Treatment, es
pecially in the early stages, is said
to make the victim more comfort
able and hasten recovery.

Council Proposes
Halt in 'Rush Evils’
Of Social Groups
In a move to abolish “some of the
evils” of rush week the Student
Council voted Tuesday night to for
ward a recommendation to the Inter-
Fraternity Council urging that rush
ing be delayed in the fall by at least
a month.
Much criticism has centered on the
manner rushing was handled by so
rorities and fraternities and some
change has been needed in the rush
ing set-up for a long time, Student
Council Chairman Wilbur Owens,
Albany, said today.
The proposal was placed before
the IFC last night, but action was
deferred on the proposal. Fraternity
representatives unofficially were in
favor of the recommendations.
"The Student Council is the best
concensus of student opinion," Owens
said, "because each student group
and faction is represented.”
Diplomas also were discussed at
the council meeting. The University
has Instituted new diplomas, atout
the size of a sheet of typewriter
paper, with a printed instead of an
engraved seal. The council went on
record in favor of the old-type di
plomas.
Bill Justice, Pittsboro, N. C.. was
elected vice-chairman of the council
to replace the vacancy caused by
withdrawal of Ray Webb, Spring-
field.
Pharmacy School Merger
Studied by Regents Board
By Paul Burton
The board of regents has agreed to meet with representatives of
the University and the Southern College of Pharmacy to study a pro
posal to merge the college with the University System.
The board’s education committee had previously been designated
to Btudy and recommend action on
the plan, which was initiated by the
Southern College.
However, the committee chairman
said he had "received several phone
calls” and would like further In
vestigation before final recommen
dations was made.
Since records reveal that the scho
lastic standards of the Southern Col
lege are far below that of Pharmacy
school, It can be presumed that op
position will come from the Univer
sity.
Only one Pharmacy school gradu
ate in recent years has failed the
state examination, while an estimated
15 per cent of Southern College
graduates annually fall, reliable
jsources report.
The Southern College of Phar
macy, a private institution owned
by Georgia druggists, offered the
board its school and $250,000 In as
sets If the college would be placed
In the University System. This would
mean that Its operation would be
taken over by the School of Phar
macy.
One advantage listed by the South
ern College Is a plan whereby stu
dents work with Atlanta druggists
during their period of training. Many
prominent Atlanta druggists report
edly are graduates of the school.
Plans to inaugurate a similar sys
tern in Pharmacy school are being
studied, and will be discussed at the
third annual pharmacists seminar on
campus Nov. 7-8.
Candles Replace Cards
As Cheerers Get ‘Lit’
If things go as planned the
cheering section at tomorrow
night’s Maryland game will all
get “lit.”
To assuage various temper
ance groups it should be added
that thlB will be accomplished
by usher-distributed candles, re
placing the familiar card sec
tions because of darkness.
Two designs will be attempted
at halftime, following pre-game
instructions by cheerleaders.
Stadium lights will be turned
out and all students are urged
to stay in the section until the
completion of the flve-mlnute
stunt.

Third Army will visit the campus

las MacArthur at the Far Eastern

Mosteller Answers Student Gripes
In aaawer to numerous student complaints about the price and avail
ability of books, W. F. Mosteller, University Stores assistant manager, told
The Red and Black this week that the bookstore makes very little profit
from book sales.
“Our oily real profit is made through the sale of used books." he said.
The store makes a 15 per cent profit on new books while commercial stores
get a 4# per cent mark up, he added.
Many students were unable to obtain required textbooks because fall
quarter enrollment was much higher than was anticipated, Mosteller said.
Final tabulation showed an enrollment of 4,809 as compared to an antici
pated 3,700.
The bookstore operates as a department of the University. It offers sev
eral scholarships each year and.its present policy is to employ only stu
dents and their wives as clerks.
