Dr. Paul O. Greeley, Health Center director, said, however, that the epidemic circulating about the campus is not the Asian flu.
"In actual cases of the Asian flu, diagnosis must come from the Citv Health
Department laboratories, and takes at least 10 days. There is, however, an epidemic of a flu-like disease on campus every year at this time. It ordinarily results from fatigue, rushing and colds,” Dr. Greeley explained.
•‘Usually when people get tired they pick up the least bit of infection,” Dr. Greeley continued. He suggested adequate sleep and a good diet as possible a i d towards preventing the infection. Students who live in dormitories, l rater inty or sorority
houses, or in other residence houses where there are large groups, should try to segregate themselves as much as possible if they develop flu - like symptoms, according to Dr. Greeley.
Symptoms of Asian flu are similar to those identified with previous types of influenza; namely lassitude. weakness, chills, severe muscular pains, headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, sore throat and cough. Length of duration is usually three to five days, barring complications. Not all patients «how these symptoms.
There is no specific treatment for Asian flu, other than the usual measures for treating influenza. Antibiotics have
no apparent effect against the disease itself, but are of some value in the treatment or prevention of the more serious complications such as pneumonia.
The present Asian flu is believed to be a mild disease even though the rate of attack is relatively high. It is the more serious after effect and complications which are the real danger, said Dr. Greeley.
When made available at SC the protective vaccine will be about 70 percent effective and wiil cost students an estimated 40 to 50 cents per student, according to Dr. Greeley.
Evidence that Asian flu might hit the Los Angeles area was indicated yesterday when 946 out of 4500 students and 14 teachers in Barstow schools were stricken.
According to Dr. Walter Rehwold, assistant school superintendent, the attacks started last Friday and by Tuesday 503 remained at home. An addi-
tional 443 remained at home yesterday, he added.
Dr. B. W. Minard, assistant San Bernardino county health officer, said not all cases have been definitely as Asian flu. but several laboratory tests have revealed the illness to be of the Asian variety.
"Closing of the schools would only slow down the outbreak rather than halt it. The situation would begin all over again when the schools reopened,” Dr. Minard said.
According to Dr. Greeley. Asian flu mainly strikes young adults in good health, but the dan-
cers of complications are increased when the victims are children or elderly people.
It is comm unicated through direct personal contact, droplet infection or by direct contact with objects contaminated by discharges from the no. e and throat of infected individuals. he said.
Dr. Greeley added that it is impossible to predict with accuracy how widespread the disease may become, depending upon how contagious the virus is and upon environmental and personal factors.

Dr. Frank C. Baxter, the Bard of Bovard, lashed out yesterday in an Associated Press storv at what he feels is "unfair” criticism of television today.
“There is a tendency too often to criticize something on the air not for what it is, but because it is not what someone expected it to he," Dr. Baxter asserted.
“As for people who boast they watch telev ision that's iike sav ing they won’t go to see ‘Hamlet ’because the theater also includes things like striptease."
“Selective viewing” is the solution. said the professor-TY performer.
Dr. Baxter lat>clcd the developments in serious television during the past year as "magnificent.”
The SC professor, w ho first rocketed to the attention of the American public by bringing Shakespeare into the parlor, likes to talk "hot off the anvil” both on the air and face-to-face.
He said he has now embarked on a complete “saturation season" of exposure on network television.
“I've had to cut down on other work, such as personal
appearances,” Dr. Baxter said, but he still maintains that "first and last I am a teacher.”
Included on the Baxter agenda this season are regular weekly appearances as emcee of the Telephone Time dramatic show, Tuesday nights over KABC; four Dr. Research 90-minute j film programs on NBC, and a | weekly live half-hour colorcast in Los Angeles alone called ! “Harvest.” This program pie-; sents a cross section of human enterprise from Hadrian's Wall to Rodin's art.
