There's little you can do if cold bug decides to bite
By Patti Calbghcr
You can dress sensibly, keep your feet warm.go to bed
early, take you vitamins and drink gallons of chicken
soup but if the cold bug wants to bite, there is little you
can do to stop it.
The bug has been biting at UNL with increased fre-
2uency since the first week in February, according to Dr.
inland Bare, University Health Center medical director.
Few colds were treated at the center before February,
and Bare attributed this to the mild winter. Although
more students have reported cold symptoms recently and
some cases of strep throat, swollen glands or mononucleo
sis, Bare said no one illness is running rampant on campus.
"My impression is that we have seen fewer colds in the
1979-80 school year than in the 1978-79 school year," he
said. .
Because an accurate count of reported colds would re
quire 24 to 36 hours of work to calculate, Bare said no
statistics are available.

they've got a cold, Bare said, many cold sufferers come
to the Health Center.
Only a cold's symptoms can be treated, he said. Colds
cannot be treated with antibiotics, Bare said.
Ifis advice to the afflicted is nothing new. Rest, lots of
fluids, aspirin and gargling should rid the body of cold
producing bacteria.
A frequent cause of winter colds is dry air, Bare said.
In campus residence halls and Greek houses, living in a
heated room without a humidifier can bring on a cold.
Although there is a national -epidemic" of the Singa
pore Flu or Influenza B, Bare said few cases have been re
ported at UNL. He said 700 Singapore Flu-related deaths
have been reported nationally.

Funding . . .

However, Sen. Ron Cope of Kearney said that perhaps
the women's program may grow.
UNLs requested appropriation of $619,135, plus 10
percent, would bring the figure to about $680,000. The
committee decided to place a top priority on $655,000.
Also up for discussion was the proposed NU veterinary
college.
. Sen. Steve Fowler of Lincoln said that some money
should be appropriated to evaluate the need for the
school. Committee members questioned .the need for a
full-time dean when there is no college yet.
Kelly said that the veterinary college issue keeps
coming back. Dworak said that to fund a dean would be
the same thing as agreeing to build the veterinary college.
Kelly likened the veterinary college to the sandhill
crane, saying it never goes away.
"If you pave the university 15 feet deep (in concrete),
the vet school will come crawling back through a crack "
Kelly said.
Of a $161,000 request for new books at UNL libraries,
the committee decided to place an appropriation of
$50,000 on the top priority list. . ,
The original request from the university was for
$100,000 and the other $61,000 was added to take care
of rising book costs.
Sen. Jerome Warner of Waverly, committee chair
man, said that perhaps the original request may be
needed.
The university also requested a $76,000 appro,
priation for record keeping of UNL graduates by the
NU Alumni Association. This amount would be in
of body aches, moderate fever, congestion and cough
which usually lasts about a week, Bare said.
Two years ago. Bare said, Influence A-often called
Russian or Texas Flu-appeared in epidemic proportions
on campus. The symptoms are similar to the B-type flu,
but more severe, he said.
Two Ralston High School students died recently from
a bacterial infection but are "not part of an epidemic,
according to Bare.
They died from staphylococcal pneumonia, a bacteria
which Bare said commonly inhabits the skin of two out
of three people.
According to Monday's Lincoln Journal, health offi
cials said the cases were caused by different subtypes of
the bacteria and were unrelated.
addition to the $65,000 which has already been
appropriated.
The $76,000 request was given a priority -two rating
A $75,000 request for the College of Business
Administration was given a priority of one, but Sen. Kelly
objected.
"When we keep adding on to the budget we are going to
have to deduct something else,' he said, referring to the
small number of cuts the committee made.
A $250,000 request for new equipment purchases and
nine additional graduate teaching assistants was also listed
as priority one. The appropriation would be divided in
half, giving $125,000 to each area.
Other programs appropriations include:
Priority one items:
$31,000 for I ANR Curtis program; $6600 for
additional Home Economics agents; $50,620 for the
Nebraska Business development center; $35,881 for
operating expenses of the physical education building at
UNO; $200,000 for a new administration building at
UNO; $65,987 for two additional faculty members in
UNO's Business Administration program; $3293 for an
additional faculty member in UNO department of
mathematics and computer science; $450,000 in replace
ment of federal grants at the University of Nebraska
Medical Center.
$82,000 to improve the Curtis program in Agricultural
marketing; $41,000 for the college of pharmacy; $8,000
for a medical center teaching awards; a 16 percent
increase in the $2,2 million medical center hospital
operating costs and a $50,000 request to upgrade the
optometry program.'. ;r r ; , . (;
