decisions about what to do

such activities. For the
present, come to the Career
Development and Placement
Office and get acquainted with
us and the services we have
available.

Illness Strikes Students
by David Green
A serious outbreak of illness
occured following dinner on
Monday the 18th. The Guil
ford College Infirmary diag
nosed the illness as food
poisoning caused by tainted
food served in the cafeteria on
Monday. Dr. Brewer ruled out
the possibility of a virus due to
the absence of throat
inflammations. According to
Infirmary sources. "80 to 90
students came in complaining
of nausea, cramps, diarrhea,
and vomiting." Medication is
being continued in some cases
but no patients have required
hospitalization.
