Health Services prepares
Flu immunization shots available daily
By LAURA ROE
Staff Writer
Sleigh bells, Christmas carols, festive meals
and those wonderful late mornings are now
over. Now etudente must adjust to soggy, cold
weather in the early mornings which often
brings bouts with the flu.
To prevent such battles, the University
Health Service is administering flu shots daily
from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The cost is $6 for students and 810 for nonstu
dents.
Jerry Glaaenapp, a registered nurse at the
University, said, “You should get (the shot) be
fore you get the disease; it's just like any other
immunization."
Glasenapp said those people with pneu
monia, bronchitis or other medical problems
are more susceptible to the flu virus.
Dorothy Yates, Clarke County Health Center
nursing supervisor, said the center stopped
giving flu vaccinations in November, when they
ran out of the shots.
•The CDC (Center for Disease Control)
doesn’t advise giving it after November," Yates
for weather
said.
Ray Petterson, an epidemiologist for
Georgia’s northeast health district, said if you
haven’t had the flu, you would benefit from get
ting the flu shot.
Yates said flu symptoms differ from those
that she described as "seasonal or asthma re
lated.”
Flu symptoms include a high temperature
and muscle aches, while sinus problems, sore
throats, diarrhea and upper respiratory prob
lems are usually caused by the weather, she
said.
Billy Carter said investigations bankrupted him
The Associated Press
ALBANY — Billy Carter, known
for beer guzzling and colorful com
ments during his brother’s presi
dency, wrote in his autobiography
that the principles he applied in
overcoming alcohol addiction gave
him strength in fighting the cancer
that eventually killed him.
In the hook, written before his
death in 1988 and published last
month, Carter said he relied on the
teachings of Alcoholics Anonymous
during his 12-month battle to over
come pancreatic cancer.
“I can’t stress enough how my
recovery from alcoholism has
helped me deal with cancer,” he
wrote. “The one day at a time, turn
it over to God philosophy of A.A.
can help you face most any
problem in life.”
Sybil Carter, his wife of 33
years, said Monday that her hus
band wrote the book to help other
alcoholics and to set the record
straight on a few issues.
Carter and his wife had nearly
completed the book before his
death in September 1988, and the
final chapter was completed by
writer Ken Estes and Mrs. Carter.
Released just before Christmas,
the book is in limited national dis
tribution in both hard cover and
paperback.
Carter wrote that federal inves
tigations into his activities, in
cluding his visits to Libya,
destroyed him financially and
never linked him to any illegal ac
tivity.
Grand juries investigated Billy
Carter’s role in the Carter family
peanut warehouse and whether
the business helped bankroll
Jimmy Carter’s presidential cam-
aign. The Senate, meanwhile,
eld hearings into Billy Carter’s
involvement with an oil deal be
tween the Libyan government and
an American oil company.
The former president’s younger
brother then got into trouble with
the Internal Revenue Service.
Carter said testifying and de
fending himself “cost me a small
fortune" and became a full-time job
for two years.
‘The worst thing about the hear
ings is that they wiped me out fi
nancially," he wrote. “Because I
was involved in two grand jury in
vestigations into campaign mat
ters and an IRS investigation, I
had four separate law firms rep
resenting me at one time.”
The hook was published by
Edgehill Publications, a subsidiary
of Edgehill Newport, a center for
the treatment of alcoholism and
drug abuse at Newport, R.I.
“It’s a good book,” Sybil Carter
said in an interview. “We had a lot
of heartache and a lot of pain and
it's in there, but we also had a lot of
joy and the healing process is
there.”
Mrs. Carter said her husband
wrote the book to give hope to other
alcoholics and to correct some of
the “misinformation” that was
published during his brother’s pre
sidency.
‘There was a lot of publicity and
a lot of media coverage that upset
Billy,” she said. “We’ve been in the
public eye for a long time and have
been the recipients of stories that
were not quite true. He tried to jus
tify some of the things he had done
and said."
Mrs. Carter said people identi
fied with her husband because he
was a friendly, down-to-earth
person who cared about others.
Foremost in his mind was the
hope that the book might help
someone down the line, she said.
“He never ceased to be amazed
that people would come up or send
letters that said, “I quit drinking
because of you.’ It really touched
him.”
In the book, Carter told of his
years of high jinks while his
brother was president.
But the book also covers his
childhood, his battle with alco
holism and his last days fighting
terminal cancer.
Carter told of his closeness to his
mother and how he and “Miss Lil
lian" Carter both enjoyed a good
argument.
He credited his mother, who
Mrs. Carter said people
identified with her
husband because he
was a friendly, down-to-
earth person who cared
about others.
died in 1983, for one of his best-
known quotes.
According to Carter, his mother
first turned the phrase: “I’ve got a
son who thinks he can be presi
dent; a daughter (Ruth) who is a
faith-healer; another daughter
(Gloria) who rides around on mo
torcycles; and another son who
drinks beer all the time. If I had
known they would turn out the
way they have, I would have re
mained a virgin.”
Her son’s highly publicized ver
sion was: “I’ve got a mother who
joined the Peace Corps at 68; a
brother who wants to be president;
a sister who is a holy-roller pre
acher; and another sister who rides
around on motorcycles. I’m the
only sane one in the family.”
He wrote, This is my last
chance to give Mama proper
credit.”
