Measles Surge
Called Higher
Than Normal
The recent surge in the num
ber of cases of three-day measles
at the Infirmary is slightly higher
than during other years at this
time, Edgar S. Krug, assistant
College physician, said yesterday.
Late yesterday afternoon, 23
patients, 11 of which were - three
day measles cases, were confined
to the Infirmary. •
Krug said measles is one - of the
most contagious diseases. This
could account for the• increase in
the number of cases, he said. He
added that for all practical. pur
poses, this type, measles does not
usually reoccur when the person
has had them before.
Krug would not list the symp
toms of the disease because he said
other cases of sickness had simi
lar symptoms and looked like the
measles. However, according to
a State College Physician, Dr.
John K. Covey, watering nose and
eyes and spots on the chest, back,
or arms are usual symptoms of the
German, three-day measles.
Covey said some cases of these
measles have lasted •for only a
day. The three-day measles differ
from regular measles in that regu
lar measles can last up to wo
weeks, Covey said.

Edward Thieme, president of
Town Council, said the price of
the set and installation in the
TUB would run less than was
originally expected. Clark said the
next step to secure the West Dorm
set would be to decide by what
means the set can be purchased
and maintained. He said he ex
pected the set to be 'installed be
fore the end of the spring sem
ester.
Reception from Altoona was ob
tained without trouble in either
building. Thieme said the recep
tion was good even near the floor
of the TUB. Clark said an ampli
fier may be needed to get good
reception from Johnstown in the
West Dorm lounge. Johnstown
came in "more than acceptable"
in the TUB, Thieme said.
The tests were run to determine
if television sets could be installed
in the buildings without having
an outside aerial because of the
College's policy forbiding the
mounting of aerials on campus
buildings.
Thieme said he will contact Pol
lock Council President Joseph
Gardecki and Nittany Council
President Robert Harding to see if
they will help raise funds necesz
sary to buy the set. Both councils
have tabled action on the set until
the results of the test could be
announced. Town Council initiated
the drive for the TUB last month
by pledging $lOO towards its pur
chase.
Vet School Bill
Reaches House
A bill to appropriate $1 million
for the construction of a school of
veterinary medicine at the Col
lege was introduced last night in
the House, the Associated Press
has reported.
The measure, sponsored by Don
ald E. Whitenight (R.-Montour)
and John J. Downey (D.-Schuyl
kill), would limit students to per
sons desiring to practice in rural
areas of the state.
The Joint State Government
Commission, fact-finding arm of
the legislature, has reported that
establishment of another veteri
nary school board would be im
practical at this time because of a
similar school at the University
of Pennsylvania.
