Students should. be able to be vaccinated against swine
flu when they return to school in the fall, said Dr.
Kenneth Hubble, University Health Center director..
President Gerald Ford Saturday signed a bEl appropri
ating $135 million to develop the vaccine and immunize
every American, if possible. Ford requested the bill to
prevent an epidemic of the flu strain which has claimed at
least one person's life. . .
Hubble said the vaccine will be offered at the health
center soon after fall semester begins. He said persons
should be inoculated six to eight weeks before the flu
season, which starts when cold weather sets in.
Hubble said the vaccine will be offered to students at
cost," which means they probably will have to pay $3
for a vaccination.
He warned, however, that not everyone should be in
oculated with the vaccine. He said persons with severe
allergies should not be vaccinated. ' , "

Persons who are allergic to eggs would suffer severe
reaction from the vaccine, Hubble said.
The swine flu strain was transmitted to humans from
pigs, Hubble said, thus giving the flu its name.
He said symptoms of the flu, which is a strain of in-
Finals library hours set
Starting April 26, hours at two UNL libraries will be
expanded, and the study area on the second floor of
Nebraska Hall will be open 24-hours daily.
Love Library on City Campus and C.Y. Thompson
Library on East Campuswill stay open until mid
night weeknights and until 5 pjn. weekends. The ex
tended hours remain in effect until the end of final exam
week.
The schedule for the two libraries:
fluenza, are fever, exhaustion and chills, which may be
accompanied by respiratory trouble and body aches.
Hubble said the health center will start a publicity
campaign encouraging students to be vaccinated in fall.
Dr. Henry Smith, director of the State Board of
Health, said the flu was the confirmed cause of one death
at Fort Dix, N J. last winter, and the suspected cause of
another death at Fort Dix.
Smith said the board Monday endorsed the national
program, opening the way for statewide distribution of
the vaccine. The federal government will underwrite the
total cost of developing the vaccine, he said, adding that
$26 million of the $135 million appropriated will go to
states to implement the vaccine program.
Doctor's fee
This amounts to 13 cents a person for implementation.
Smith said, terming it "a little deficient.
He said there apparently is discussion of Congress pass
ing a supplementary appropriation bill to provide more
funds for the program's, implementation.
Smith said the board will work with different organiza
tions and local groups to vaccinate everyone in the state.
He said persons vaccinated by a private doctor prob
ably will have to pay a doctor's fee for the vaccine, but
would not have to buy the drug itself. He said persons
vaccinated during public inoculation drives probably
would not have to pay anything.
Smith said a logistics problem exists in vaccinating
Nebraskans in the 70 to 80 days between the vaccine's
arrival at the end of this summer and the time cold
weather arrives.
An information campaign will be started to tell persons
how they can be vaccinated, he said.
