"There is no doubt that pres ent-day vaccines (known to be highly effective in the mili tary) have never received a really adequate wide-scale trial in the ci\fcan population," according to one virologist, Ed win D. Kilbourne, M.D. Writing in Sandoz Panorama, Dr. Kilbourne describes influ enza as a "baffling and ambi guous disease" which can quickly strike the otherwise healthy but leave no after effects, or which can cause pneumonia and death in the elderly or dibilitated. Although spoken of singly as "the bug," there are actual ly three types of virus—A, B, and C—which cause influenza. The latter two are usually not involved in adult influen za. Adults more often get A type flu. A, in turn, is not a single virus. It is composed of a •*roup of virus subtypes with L, j B .A , i J FORD PILLOWS M. A. Blount 0) and Mrs. V. P.

The great influenza epidemic of 1918, he suggests, may have been caused by swine influ enza virus A, whereas by 1947 the infecting strain was Al, a virus so different from its predecessor that vaccines against A w«*e ineffective. By 1957, the usual ly called As lap virus, had evolved; it initiated the '57 pandemic (epidemic on an in ternational basis), pr. Kil bourne notes. The source of these major mutants is still not known; however, it is thought that the viruses may be of animal ori gin and originate in the Orient. "Animal influenza A strains do exist and it is possible that, in crowded populations living intimately with animals, trans fer of virus to man might oc College, have been named Ford Foundation Fellows for the academic year 1968-69.

Whiting, president of the col lege, announced this week . Edgar M. Waller, General Manager of Liggett and Myers' Manufacturing Operations in Durham and a member of the advisory board to the NCC campaign, said "We are com mitting ourselves to this 'ln vestment in Opportunity' be cause we recognize the value of quality education and the vital part it must play in our community. "North Carolina College was the first State supported libe the United States, and it has a commendable record as the largest state supported pre dominantly Negro liberal arts college in North Carolina. "The type of financial sup port we are giving to North Carolina College has special significance in view of the following factors. Schools like North Carolina College are the primary source for the teach ers of tomorrow's youth. Schools like North Carolina College are the 'forgotten col leges' In 'terms of private support. Students attending schools like North Carolina College come from lower iru come families and are the least able to keep up with the ris ing cost of higher education. Because of these low incomes and rising costs, higher tui tion as a source for additional funds is a severe threat to educational opportunity. The most critical factor, as It Is in all higher education, is the rising cost of good faculty. "To meet these higher facul ty costs with the income from a $1,000,000 Endowment Fund is the purpose of the present campaign of North Carolina College." Dr. Whiting told Waller, "N. C. College is deeply grateful to Liggett and Myers for this as sistance. We feel it represents a common concern for higher education, and we are sure you have set an example for the rest of the business commu nity in Durham to follow." Liggett and Myers is the sec ond Durham-based company to contribute to the endowment campaign. Paul Wright, Jr., president of Central C&rolina Bank and also a member of the campaign advisory board, presented his company's check to Dr. Whiting the day a $75,- 000 challenge commitment from Burlington Industries Foundation of Greensboro was announced on April 26. Funds raised during the en dowment campaign will be set aside in trust, with the income to be used for faculty salary supplements and for possible endowment of a chair.
