Thit estimate says decisively that the

"Neither the extent of tiimsgt r.o-r the
degree of recovery is cltir at the preser.t
time," Finn emphasized.
To his players and coaches. Arnold : a
hustler, a player who voiced no
sign igi cant complaints about beir.g
redshuted-held out of competition
because too many linemen were ahead of
him-last season.
To his fraternity brothers. Arnold is a
source of fun and companionship, a
Staten Island boy whom they call "Otis."
Several of them knew him at W ood berry
Forest Prep School, where he captained
three teams and was recruited by
Dooley's staff.
The rumor ma.hine has been
functioning smoothly this week, bringing
dire tales of how the players were dnven
beyond their limits in wind sprints
Monday.
To be sure, both the temperature and
humidity were well above 0 degrees
Monday,. One player reported that the
cooler "net" jerseys were foregone in
favour of regular shirts, and that the
players received no rest periods.
Their scrimmage Saturday was not the
best for a team with an opening game to
be played in seven days.
Geof Hamlin, the Canadian fullback
who suffered a similar, though far less
serious , case of heat prostration last year,
said that the ailment comes on quickly
without the victim realizme it.
Rumors spark questions, and when
answers are not given decisively and
openly by people who know, the
fabrications do not wait for clarification.
The football program should not be
indicted for something it did not do. And
certainly the investigations should be
conducted with facts on the table, not
stories under the rug.
Until those facts emerge, the condition
of Bill Arnold-who pushed himself into
critical condition in pursuit of a starting
position of Carolina's football
team-should be the primary concern.

Heat stroke is not a new kind of illness.
Children have been warned of it. high
school 2thletes have been given lectures
on it. and sometimes even the press
carries articles on it.
Suddenly, however, the implications of
heat stroke were brought home this week
here at UNC, and conjectures and myths
concerning the illness have flourished.
UNC reserve guard Billy Arnold was
-truck with heat stroke at the end of
practive Monday and still lies in critical
condition m North Carolina Memorial
Hospital.
Articles and stories concerning
Arnold's health have appeared daily in
papers across the state, yet there has been
little real explanation of heat stroke and
the accompanying complications.
Dr. Tim Poirier, chief medical resident
at the UNC Department of Medicine,
explained the illness Friday in general
terms, saying he could not speak
specifically on Arnold's case.
"The mortality rate of heat stroke is
from 10 to 70 percent," Poirier said.
"Most deaths occur during the first 24
hours, although the first week is still very
critical.
""The longer someone survives the
better chance he has of pulling out of it,"
he continued, "although the prognosis
really depends on how much damage is
done when the patient has the high
temperature and is in shock."
Dr. Poirier said heat shock, when the

environment; a high temperature, usually
more than 105 degrees; a disfunction of
the central nervous system; and hot dry
skin. "The patient with heat stroke stops
sweating, usually about a minute before
he collapses or becomes delirious." Dr.
Poirier continued.
He noted that medical science had not
determined a reason why someone would
get heat stroke and the person next to
him would not.
Once the person suffers heat stroke,
according to Dr. Poirier. one or more
complications usually set in.
"There is a bleeding tendency," he
said, "and this in itself can do
considerable damage within the patient.
The high temperature and shock also
produce cell death in different organ
systems, including the kidney, liver,
ventral nervous system and even the
muscles.
"Of course, as I said before, the degree
of damage varies widely with different
people. Some people who suffer heat
stroke don't have any of these
complications. "With heat stroke," Dr.
Poirier added, "you just have to watch
the patient day by day. While most of the
damage done is reversable, you just can't
predict what will happen.
