Colds Rage On Campus So you think that you are the only one on campus with a cold. Well, you're due for a rude awak ening. The College Infirmary re ports 15 cases serious enough to be admitted, with many times that number being treated daily in the dispensary. Business is booming at the lo cal drug stores. "Sales have doubled over last year's sales of the same period," said Robert Heiser, registered pharmacist of Rea and Derick's. "Head colds seem to prevail with chapped lips and cold sores running second and third." Joseph Fink, pharmacist at Mc- Lanahan's stated, "Every other customer who walks to the drug counter asks for a cold medicine. Nose drops and cough drops are the two largest sellers in the cold line." One drug store noted no marked increase in sales, while Mr. Griggs, of Griggs and Kream er, said that there was an increase but he couldn't determine if the rise was due to the large influx of students or an increase in the number of colds per capita. Although no definite cure is known for the common cold, doc tors agree that plenty of rest is the prime factor in getting rid of that 'petit rheum'. Hoot Owl Appears In Pollock Circle "The Lost Weekend" had its disappearing mice, some people see pink elephants, but Ed "Hoot" Koval saw a large economy-size owl resting in his Pollock Circle room last week when he re turned from Bellefonte. Koval, genial student lieuten ant in the Campus Patrol, opened the door to his room in Dorm 9 and looked straight into the eyes of Mr. Owl. The lights and Mr. Koval frightened the owl and the bird flew madly about the room. Re sourceful Ed quickly grabbed a flashlight and blinded his visitor long enough to take him by the leg and release him outside. Later the mystery was cleared up. Friends of Koval had cap tured the owl near the dairy barns and had deposited it in his room as a practical joke. Neither Koval nor the owl could be contacted for quotable comments.
