Outbreak of Colds Plagues Campus
An outbreak of colds—ranging
from sniffles to sore throats—is
plaguing the campus.
An average of 60 students have
been treated every day this week
at the University Dispensary in
the basement of Old Main, Mrs.
Mark K. Royer, secretary to the
University physician, said yester
day.
The number of students re
porting to the dispensary is not
nigher than ever before, but is
high for this time of year, Mrs.
Royer said.
She said during the winter
months the average number of
cold sufferers is considerably
higher.
Six in Hospital
Six of 24 patients at the Uni
versity Hospital are suffering
from colds, according to hospital
attendants. Sixteen of 25 patients
at the hospital a year ago today
were victims of the cold germ.
Hospital officials pointed out
that the rumors indicating a flu
epidemic has hit the University
are false. Cases treated were only
of the common cold variety, they
said.
They explained that - a high
number of colds is to be expected
after persons make a change in
their living habits. “They are
more susceptible to colds then,”
an official said.
300 Have Colds
Approximately 300 students
were reported with cases of colds
and sore throats in a spot sur
vey conducted by the Daily Col
legian. The survey included eight
fraternities, eight sororities, and
eight independent units.
The survey showed that sev
eral of the students with colds
went to the Dispensary for med
icine. but left when they saw the
long lines. “I had to make a class,”
one sufferer said.

Culture-
(Continued from page one)
the Penn State Series, which
would present musical and speak
ing events.
The Series has not yet been
started because of the uncertainty
in how to present and finance it.
Other factors considered in the
report were the encouraging of
culture within fraternities, sorori
ties, and independent units; and
the consideration of considering
a cultural program as an activity
at the University.
Questions raised on how inter
est in community concerts can be
improved and how participation
ii. Religion-in-Life Week can be
increased will also be referred
to the Board of Dramatics and
Forensics.
