Most of the sick students
have been suffering from either
upper respiratory ailments or
gastro-intestinal illnesses. The
upper respiratory ailments have
ranged fr(xn so^ throats and runny
noses to head colds while the
gastro-intestinal illnesses range
from diarrhea to vomiting. There
were also four cases of
mononucleosis reported for both
September and October.
According to Salter, future
epidemics are difOcult to prevent.
"There is only so much that the
school can do because the college
community lives so close
together. Any activity that brings
in a lot of people stands the risk
Contracts
of having an epidemic," Salter
said.
"There is really nothing that
the school can do about it. It is
the individual's situation, if you
know somebody that is really sick
then do not go sit in their room.
Do not expose yourself if you can
help it," Salter said.
Salter feels that roommates of
sick people need to work to
preserve their own immunity.
This means lots of hand-washing.
Germs and bacteria can get
passed by touching the surface of
common areas. This also means
that students must be careful not
to eat or drink after their sick
peers.
According to Salter, proper
rest and nutrition are the keys to
maintaining good health. Salter
believes proper nutrition is eating
three meals a day without an
abundance of junk food.
This means that candy bars
can not be substituted for meals.
"Many students on this campus do
not eat breakfast. This meal is
important because the body has
gone a long time in between
meals," Salter said.
"The students who skip
breakfast are stripping themselves
of energy," Salter said. Salter said
students can further increase their
chances for good health by taking
a flu vaccine which will allow
students to avoid getting three
types of the flu.

Ph.D’s right away, concerns were
raised about an unjust dismissal.
Francis said it would depend
on funding and enrollment before
upgrading could occur. "We don’t
know when we can do it," he said.
Francis said the professors
will not be replaced with people
with lesser qualifications.
Francis said the nonrenewal of
contracts does not reflect dealing
on a whim. "It was planned," he
said.
"The three-year contract is an
opportunity for teachers to get
good college teaching experience
while they evaluate the future for
possibly attaining a Ph.D,"
Francis said.
"When the three years are up
and if they go get a Ph.D, they
would be more than welcome to
apply for an open position,"
Francis said.
Francis said the experience the
professors have had here has been
good for both them and Elon. "It's
disappointing. I understand that."
