The swine flu vaccine may be administered on campus beginning next week, said Addie Klotz, executive director of the Student Health Center. She recommended that if possible, everyone get the shot.
The vaccine program will be run by the Los Angeles County Health Department with the help of volunteers from the health center.
The starting date for the vaccination is not set yet, but Klotz hopes it will be next week. She said she will make sure the date is well publicized so that everyone can get the vaccination.
Klotz recommends the vaccine because, “if there’s a vaccine available that has a high safety factor, people should get it.”
Recently, people have been confused and fearful about the shots because ofthe highly publicized deaths of some people who received the vaccination, she said. But it has been shown the deaths were not related to the vaccine, and therefore people should not be worried about getting the shots, she said.
If the swine flu epidemic that struck in 1918 were to strike again now, she added, it is estimated that it would kill about 600 young, healthy USC students. For that
locates the vaccine and the money to every state, which in turn distributes both to the county governments.
The university was planning to enter into a contract with the Los Angeles County Health Department to administer the shots, but one ofthe stipulations ofthe contract was the sole liability of the university.
So, even though the county provided the vaccine to USC, Klotz said, only the university would have been liable for damages.
To avoid this risk, the university decided to let the Health Department’s Office of Influenza Control administer the shots and thus assume the risk.
There will be no charge for the shots and anyone — students, faculty, staff and community — can get them.
She expects that the shots will be given on campus for only a couple of days.
If the turnout for the shots is high, Klotz hopes to be able to set up vaccination locations all over campus to make it easier for students to get them.

Appleton said he thought the station would be operational soon.
Nelson did not want to give a date for when the station will be on the air. But she did say that as soon as the funds are in hand it should only take 10 days to get the station going.

Suspect in murder attempt freed for lack of positive identification

Assistant City Editor KSCR, the student-run radio station, has had more starts and stops than the No. 9 bus to downtown. The management of the station is now trying to get it back on the air again after a layoff that started last spring. There are several roadblocks
James R. Appleton, vice-president for student affairs, said that what exists now is a “chicken and egg affair.” He said he is going to meet with Braly next week to work out the problems with the station’s funding.
He emphasized that the station is not going to accept advertising revenue until it can set up an advertising program that is inline with the Office of Student Publications.
“We have no principle opposition to having KSCR advertise, but certain conditions must be met,” he said. “As soon as the conditions are met I’ll be the first to say ‘let’s go.’ ”

in its path. The station is in a difficult situation because it cannot accept advertising and it is short of funds, said Angie Nelson, the station’s general manager.
It received a $4,000 loan from the Student Senate last year and $5,000 from the Campus Activities Allocation Board to set up a new studio.
The $9,000, however, was not enough to set up the new studio. The station needed $1,600 more to become operational. The station has received partial support from the School of Journalism and from the Office of the Vice-President for Student Affairs, but it was not enough to close the gap. The station still needs $500.51.
The allocation board has agreed to give the station the money on two conditions, said Hunt Braly, chairman. First, the station must accept advertising so that it may become self-sufficient and the first $500.51 in revenue from advertising must come back to the board to pay off the loan.
“Right now the station is a club and must get funding through the allocation board and whatever donations we can get,” she said. “This year is a trial perfod for us. Dr. Appleton has asked us not to advertise. Until we become funded by the university, we should not go out and represent the university.” ,
She added that she would like to see the station funded by the university.
She said things are moving along well and the station has received a great deal of support from Edward Bassett, director of the School of Journalism, and from Appleton. A meeting is planned for next Wednesday to work out the funding problems of the station, she said.
“I’m working on getting us well-grounded. Too many people have put too much time into this station for it to fail,” she said.
When and if the station begins broadcasting it will be by telephone line to the Student Activities Center, the Trojan Wing of MacDonalds, the Birnkrant Dining Room and several other locations. Nelson also said plans are being made to broadcast to the University Village.

The former USC cinema student who was booked last week for attempted murder in connection with the kidnapping and attempted rape of a 22-year-old university employee has been released because of lack of positive identification.
"We felt most strongly that the person we had in custody was the right individual, but the victim couldn't positively identify him as her assailant,” said Dorothy Pettigrew, an investigator for the Southwest Division of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).
The victim had a problem picking out the picture of her attacker from a group. Police investigators initially thought the identification problem stemmed from the photos themselves.
“Although the suspect fit the victim’s description quite well, in the photo we had of him he was wearing glasses," Pettigrew said.
The victim did not remember her attacker as wearing glasses, but a photo taken without glasses still did not produce a positive identification.
“She didn’t want to accuse the wrong person and we certainly wouldn’t want her to either,” Pettigrew said.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS — Patrick Pace, a 32nd Street Elementary School pupil, gives his impressions of the university. Children at the school thought students
Pettigrew suggested the identification problem may have been complicated by the victim losing her own glasses early in the alleged Sept. 14 attack.
Pettigrew is supervisor of the Sex Detail at LAPD’s Southwest Division, which includes USC in its area of responsibility.
Rapes do not happen with any set regularity on the USC campus, she said. “Sometimes we get three a month, then we’ll go for months without any,” she said.
“Women students have to be more aware that these things do go on. Stay out of dark places at night and keep your windows locked. Get some sort of protective device for your windows that make it harder to force them open.”
She said the popular whistles sold as anti-rape alarms may work in some cases and not in others.
“You can blow a whistle until your head falls off if nobody is around to hear,” she said. “You may be so frightened that you forget it is around your neck.
“In one case it may scare someone away, but in another case it may frighten some maniac into doing something he may not otherwise have done.”
