J M : 4TKE CAROLINA TIKES SAT., DECEMBER 5, 1981 . Determination in McNeill About Colds (Continued from Pae3) bogen said in a recent; American Family Physi- cian journal article and' treating the symptoms is the only remedy. "Remember that colds ; are self-limiting," he said. "Without treat ment; a cold will go away in a week. With treat ment, it will probably go away in seven days." Choosing from the "phenomenal : assort ment of cold drugs" available over the counter can be confus ing, Ellenbogen said, but it need not be expensive. For general aches and discomfort, ' he recom mends combining aspirin and acetaminophin. "When taken together, the drugs dou ble the effectiveness of. each other," he said. ; "Taking them for three' or four days is probably , enough. But don't stop just because you are feel ing better. That feeling ' might be an indication that the aspirin is working."-: He cautions persons using blood-thinning medications to check with their physicians about taking aspirin. "To get relief from a runny nose, look for medications that contain 0.25 neosynephrine (0.125 for children)," he, said. Both oral doses of ; pseudoephedrine and nasal sprays and mentho-inhalers are ef fective, he said. He warns users of nasal spray to discontinue use after five to seven days. "If you feel you have: to use it longer, it is pro bably the medicine that is causing the problem, so stop using it," he said. Antihistamines can help stop congestion, he said, but they . often make users feel drowsy. "But taking one or two pills at night when you have a cold can open up your head and help you sleep," Ellenbogen said. There are some diet pills on the market that AAC Awards Grant To Bennett WASHINGTON, DC The Association of American Colleges has announced a direct grant , of $7,000 to Bennett Col lege, Greensboro, in the second round of com petition under the Minority Achievement Program (MAP).

Case Due Within Week By Donald Alderman A determination to of fer a felonious assault in dictment against a local officer, to a grand jury will be made by the , District Attorney's office within a week. , Public Safety detec tives sent an investiga tion of brutality charges against an Alcoholic Beverage Control police officer to the District At torney Monday. Leroy McNeill has charged ABC Officer Ronald Allen with un provoked assault. He alleges Allen struck him in the head with a flashlight. The assault charges stemmed from a raid of the McNeill home in the Walltown section of Durham by Allen and two other ABC officers on November 7. McNeill says he was attempting to get the officers' names before being struck by Allen. District Attorney Dan K. Edwards, Jr., said a decision on whether to render an indictment against Allen will be made in less. than a week. Edwards can also ad vise law enforcement of ficers on obtaining a warrant against Allen, or take no action in the matter. McNeill, who still is under doctors' treatment for seizures he suffers as a result of the head blow allegedly delivered by Allen, expressed con fidence in the public re effective decongestants. Look for ones that contain 25 or 30 mg of phenylpropanolamine or propradrine, he said. The physician said such drugs should be used carefully, especially by persons with heart disease. And what about tak ing large doses of vitamin C? "Don't bother," Ellenbogen said. "There, have been sufficient con trolled studies to prove that even large doses of vitamin C do not prevent colds," he said. You should see a doc tor about a cold, the physician said, if you have complicating pro blems such as heart or lung disease, of if the "cold doesn't feel right." safety detectives in vestigation. . McNeill put obtaining . warrants against - Allen ; 6n hold upon advice of the detectives He said detectives thought their1 report findings will con- tain more evidence to support the charges. Edwards will not discuss the report fin dings until he determines what action, if any, to take. McNeill suffered a bruised brain, fractured skull and loss of hearing in his left ear, doctors say. He was treated at Duke Medical' Center and released after a three-day hospitaliza tion. Edwards' decision will . determine the future ac tions of McNeill and a local group investigating , the incident. Durham Branch NAACP " president George Frazier said the local chapter's legal redress committee is stu- ; dying other, legal action possibilities. He declined to elaborate.
