There are 12 cses of flu in
Student Health as of noon Tues
day, Dr. Samuel Feunning, direc
tor of Student Health said in an
interview with the Daily Nebras
kan Tuesday.
"Two or three of the cases are
highly suspicious of Asian flu, but
so far none is specific since no
reports have been received on the
cases."
The center has started blood
serum tests to determine whether
these and two or three others in
.the past week are Asian flu.
"From a clinical standpoint we
have thus far had about half a
dozen cases that are highly sus
picious Asian flu,' he said.
Dr. Feunning ;oonfirmed that
five students from the Phi Gamma
Delta fraternity had been ill with
flu. One or two of .these are con
sidered as possible Asian flu.
There is no widespread epidemic
or outbreak as of yet in the Uni
versity, he emphasized.
A new shipment of vaccine ar
rived Monday and will be distrib
uted to priority groups consisting
of food handlers in all organized
houses, Feunning said.
These will include bus boys,
cooks, and other , such members.

Admission to the tournament is

As of yet, there is not enough
vaccine for general distribution.
Around 400 students have been
vaccinated by the University Stu
dent Health but no program has
been set up for the faculty, as yet,
Feunning said.
Individuals known to be sensi
tive to egg are NOT to be given
the vaccine since virus is grown
in embryonated eggs.
Vaccine shots are supposed to
develop immunity but there is only
60 to 70 per cent effectiveness,
Feunning said. If a student who
had a shot would get the flu, he
would probably get it in a milder
Stage. Would the student be a car
rier of the flu? This is difficult
to say..
Asked if the school would be
closed down if an epidemic would
occur, Fuenning replied, "it all
depends on the number of stu
dents and faculty that have the
flu. The flu lasts from three to
four days and therefore the isola
tion would be brief. Right now, I
can make no recommendations."
Symptoms of the flu to watch
out for are an onset of chills, high
fever up to 104 degrees, headache,
cough and sore throat and aches.
The flu lasts from three to five
days but may affect the patient
for several more days by extreme

In a brief meeting Tuesday, the
Faculty Senate passed a motion
by Frederick Buetel, Professor of
Law, requesting that the Liason
Committee return what is "hoped
will be a final report" on the
Mitchell case at the next Senate
meeting.
Dr. C. Clyde Mitchell was for
merly chairman of the department
of agricultural economics. Dr.
Mitchell was relieved of his duties
as chairman during the second
semester of the 1955-56 school year
and later charged that his aca

Memorial
To Honor
Physicians
A memorial to the pioneer coun
try doctors of Nebraska, specifi
cally the late Dr. Alfred Elder,
has been established with the Uni
versity Foundation, Perry Branch,
secretary-director, announced to
day. Mrs. Edith Dimmitt Elder has
given stocks, valued at $100,000,
for establishing a fund to support
a series of lectures, demonstra
tions and clinics to aid in keeping
Nebraska physicians in touch with
the advancement made in medical
and surgical research.
The program was outlined in the
will of her husband, the late Dr.
Jay Clinton Elder, retired dean of
instruction at San Jose State Col
lege who died in 1955. He had
served on the College faculty for
31 years.
Dr. Elder was a native of Hub
bell, Neb. He received both his
Bachelor and Master of Science
degrees from the Universiy of Ne
braska in 1907 and 1908 respec
tively. While studying for his Ph.d
at University of California, he wa3
assigned to the staff of Dr.
Jacques Loeb, world-famous physi
ologist. Prominent in civic affairs, he
was director of San Jose City Li
brary for 15 years and director
of San Jose Hospital for 25 years.
His interest in medicine came
from his childhood experie.ices,
when he drove the horse and
buggy while his father, Dr. A. L.
Elder, made long trips to his rural
patients living near Hebron, Neb.
His father died in 1902 after prac
ticing for 30 years in Hebron and
several years before that at Hub
bell. A native of Wymore, Neb., Mrs.
Edith Dimmitt Elder is a graduate
of Wymore High School, Nebraeka
Wesleyan University and Nebraska
Wesleyan Conservatory of Music.
During her college career, she was
a soloist for First Presbyterian
Church, Lincoln. .
' Throughout her life, she has
painted here and abroad, and just
this year had a one-woman show
at Palo Alto, Calif. Her compan
ion interest is modern languages,
which she has studied since child
hood. She spent this summer in
intensive study of the Russian
language.
weakness.
Oreintation programs are still
being held for those students who
were unable to attend the past
sessions, Feunning said.
Asked if we are prepared to
meet the situation, Fuenning re
plied, "we have plans that can
be put into operation in case of a
flu epidemic and therefore, I
would say yes.
Treatment consists of rest and
symptomatic treatment of the flu.
Because of plans to treat Asian
flu eases in homes, and since stu
dents have no place to go but
their dormitories, the University
is high on the list for vaccine
priority. Dr. Fuenning said.
Dr. Feunning reported that the
Student Health Center has been
receiving cases of the flu right
along this year and that all had
similar symptoms. He added, that
none of the cases have turned out
to be of Asian type.
So far in this country, flu has
affected roughly some 13,000 peo
ple, a phamplet put out by the
U.S. Department of Health said.
It is probable that the current in
fluenza epidemic will increase and
may develop into pandemic pro
portions by late winter or fall.

said. Buetel had first moved that
the Senate request a "final report."
It was pointed out by Professor
William Pfeiler, Chairman of the
German department, that the sen
ate could not require a final report
though they could request a report
of the committee's progress. "It
is not right to instruct a commit-
!tee with a time limit," Pfeiler
said.
In rewording his original motion,
Buetel said, "The Liason Com
mittee should report its recom
mendations on this case and put
them in writing so the senate will
know what it is about."
The Senate did not discuss re

Blackman, Associate Professor of
Engineering Mechanics, was re
elected secretary of the Senate for
a third term. No one was nomin
ated against Blackman and the
vote in his favor was unanimous.
Also included in work done by
the Senate was the approval of a
report by the Committee on Stu
dent Loans presented by Miss Jane
Stewart, Professor of Commercial
Arts.
Miss Stewart reported that the
Student Loan service had made
838 loans totalling approximately
$118,000 in the past year. Of these,
584 were emergency loans, which
are limited to $125, totalling $41,
000. Of the loans, 557 were for $100
dollars or less while there were
143 loans of $200 or over. Men
needed money worse than women
for according to the report 738 men
were granted loans as against 50
women.
Miss Stewart reported that stu
dent loans were up 33 per cent
over last year. However, because
some of the loan money available
was in the form of grants carry
ing stipulations, there was some
money left in the Student Loan
fund at the end of the year.
Chancellor Clifford Hardin said,
"Demands for student loans are
increasing and any addition of
funds would be most welcome."
The Senate also voted for new
members on the Committee on

for the secret ballot election were:
