Probable cases of the flu found on campus
Several probable cases of the flu have been
found on campus, according to an e-mail from
Susan Martin.
“It is important to use good hand washing
and other techniques to prevent the spread of
illness,” said Martin.
The Wellness Center has provided information
on the common cold, the flu, prevention and
treatment.
To prevent the spread of the flu, students
should use a humidifier, avoid rubbing their eyes
or nose, sneeze into tissues so that viruses are not
released into the air, avoid smoking, maintain a
healthy diet, drink plenty of water, exercise often
and get an adequate amount of rest.
Once sypmtoms start to show, students should
drink plenty of fluids, use a cool mist humidifier,
steam baths or warm steam to facilitate
breathing, gargle with warm salt water every

Students are encouraged to stop by the
Wellness Center if they are exhibiting symptoms
of the flu and to refer friends who may be sick.
“I am here to help,” said Martin.
The Wellness Center is open 8 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. Monday through Friday.
Chiaroscuro deadlines fast approaching
Deadlines for the 2011 Chiaroscuro are fast
approaching. Students and faculty who would
like to submit their work must do so by Friday,
Feb. 4.
The Chiaroscuro is a student-run, annual
literary magazine showcasing work by students
and faculty. Poetry, short stories, short plays,
essays, literary criticism, photography, paintings
and more are all included.
“The Chiaroscuro collectively shows
variations of students’ opinions,” said editor
Carole Anne Martinez, “it shows how we as a
college are progressing.”
Students are even invited to submit work
under a pen name.
The Chiaroscuro staff is especially interested
in submissions from students who went on
the college trip to Austria. “We’re hoping to
dedicate a few pages to the trip. If you have
photos, stories, poems, or anything we are
interested,” said Martinez.
The staff will also be hosting a poetry slam and
bonfire sometime in February to showcase some
of BC’s talent. Details will be made available
closer to the event.
If you have questions or would like to submit
your work to the 2011 Chiaroscuro, e-mail
martinca@brevard. edu.
The latest edition of the Chiaroscuro has been
available around campus since last fall.
