Anderson operates youth homes which teach moral standards and spiritual goals ‘‘I support free enterprise,” Anderson said. “It is human nature to want to compete. If I do not have a chance to lx* lx*tier than you. it is hell.” he added. Citing current disillusion ment with free enterprise. Anderson asked. “What has happened? Where did we lose control of free enterprise? Why is free enterprise a dirty word to most of our young people?” Anderson said a recent poll Photo by KEVIN MAGGIORE Weightlifter Paul Anderson pounds a nail into wood with his bare hand showed a significant percen tage of junior high and high school students questioned whether a business should make a profit. A possible reason for the lack of faith among young people for free enterprise is a general lack of knowledge taught about the system. Anderson said. The reason the young have not been taught about free enterprise is because the teachers have not been a part of free enterprise. Anderson said. But the Olympic gold medal winner said businessmen should not go on the defensive because “you do not score often on defense.' Instead. Anderson urged his listeners to change tactics. Anderson also said too much emphasis was placed in this country on being a good loser. People are prodded to learn to lose gracefully, and this prodding has had a detrimen tal effect, he said. Anderson also pertormed two feats of strength Standing behind a bench which he used as a podium. Anderson said, "everywhere I go I am expected to do something strong.” Placing a one-and-one-half inch thick plank on the bench, a nail on the plank, and a much-folded handkerchief on the nail, he drove the nail through the plank with one blow of his bare hand. He then lifted the bench, loaded with six Jaycees, four inches off the floor.

BEER ON TAP 549-2894 Corner of MiUed&e and Prince No flu outbreak expected here By JOHN VARDEMAM Staff writer The recent spread of Russian flu in various parts of the country has caused some worry for the University Health Services staff. Although there is no cause for alarm at the moment, some preparations have been started in case the epidemic reaches the campus, according to Dr. Lyman Phillips, clinical direc tor at Health Services. Presently, the nearest site afflicted with the Russian flu is Memphis. Term.. Phillips said. Recent flu cases in Decatur and Albany, however, are also highly suspect, he added. PHILLIPS STRESSED there was no reason to expect a Russian flu outbreak at the University, but a “contingency plan” is being worked out to contend with the sickness should it strike. He mentioned he had discus sed the matter with the director of Housing, members of Food Services, and a doctor from the Communicable Di sease Center (CDC) in Atlanta. If a Russian flu epidemic should occur at the University. Health Services would treat the cases of commuters, married housing and apart ment dwellers. Clines would be set' up in the dorms, and trained personnel would help those living in the resident halls. Phillips said University Housing is aware of the sRuatioa and will be ready if the Russian bug becomes a problem on cam pus. according to Daniel Hallenbeck. director of hous ings. “We are on a semi-alert or on-call basis.” he said. "WE HAVE the names of staff members over 25 (per sons more than 25 years old are the least susceptible to the Russian flu* identified should there be any need for them to meet and be trained (by Health Services),” he said. These staff members would assist in the clinics set up in the residence halls, he added. The names of companies which offer vending machines containing pharmaceutical supplies are being looked into by Food Services, according to Phillips. Vending machines containing drugs for treatment of the sickness and machines offering hot food such as soup could be placed in the dorms for easy access, he said. “Dr. Gary Noble of the virology branch of the CDC. expressed interest in establish ing an observation post and if proper clearance, medical and administrative, can be ob tained. the CDC will be here on campus to help us monitor and contend with an outbreak should it occur.” Phillips said DISCI SSION IS only at the negotiation stage and Phillips was unsure as to whether the CDC would conduct the surveil lance measures. In the past, the CDC has conducted a study of flu cases on the campus through the use of telephone surveys. Phillips said. Russian flu spreads at a high rate when it hits, especially on campuses according to Phil lips “Russian flu is not a erious illness. Actually, it is rather mild. The problem is that (when it strikes) everyone gets sick within a week," Phillips said. adidas Stan Smith/Haillet $25 95 White leather Green heel tab Lamar Lewis Co.
