Ry WALLY KURALT
An eventful week has Just passed.
Student leaders liave decided to
present awards in the amount of
fifteen dollars to victorious visit
ing teams, in hopes of preventing
riots such as the one following
the State game. We approve of
this move. The time to protect Uie
goalpoasts, we believe, is during
the game.
Word comes that Tar Heel athle
tes on training table will soon have
a brand new private room" in which
to eat. It will be added on to he
Monogram Club. This, we trust, will
solve the Lenoir Hall private dining
room hassle which blew up last
year between the football team and
other organizations. Each , wanted
and needed the room. Mr. Ta-
Biography Of Mclver
To Be Released Oct 5
'Mclver of North Carolina," the
first full length biography of Char
les Duncan Mclver, will be releas
ed October 5, by the University
of North Carolina Press. The book
Is by Rose Howell Holder, a for
mer feature writer and book rc
v iewcr.
Mrs. Holder's book is a careful
ly prepared and comprehensive
count of the life of one of North
Carolina's great educational pi
oneers. The biographical material
Is based largely upon his letters
and papers and upon Interviews
with people who knew Mclver.
Mclver, along with such well
known educators as Charles Brant
ley Aycock and Edwin A. Alderman,
set himself against the current of
thinking dominant in his times and
changed that current. He fought
for a state college for women and
fur public schools to be supported
by state and local taxes.
Mclvcr'i voice was heard, and
in 1391 the Legislature approved an
in.-rtitution to be known as the Nor
mal and Industrial School. He con
tinued to fight against popular
opinion and church disapproval for
the school's betterment and for pub
lic education.
Until his death 14 years later he
served as the school's president. A
typhoid epidemic and a fire which
nearly destroyed the campus failed
to discourage Mclver. He continu-
(ed to fight for his dream to estab
lish a college where young women
could secure both a liberal and a
practical education.
The largest residential woman's
, college in America islands jln
Greensboro as the chief ononoument
to the success of his purpose. Mc
lver left his Imprint on the educa
tional future and well-being of the
State, the region and the nation.
'Mclver of North Carolina in all
probability will remain the defini-
,tive biography of the great educa
tional statesman.
More than Mclver's public life
is (revealed, however;, his person
al life is also highlighted In the
book. Many delightful anecdotes
are included which shed light on
the irrepressible Scot.
Such an amusing incident occur
ed when Mclver was serving as a
one-man lobby for his educational
program in the state Legislature.
While Mclver was making a plea
for the woman's college, an oppon
ent urged that the Assembly not
be moved, to waste the state's
money by one who came among
them "clothed in purple and fine
linen."
Mrs. Mclver from her position in
the gallery dropped a note to her
husband. "Pull up your coattail,
Charles." it advised, "and show
them your purple and fine linen."
He was wearing a patch on. his
britches.

lias probably oceurcd since the
earliest tmits. yet now for the
firt time in history it has been
possible to predict a world-wide
epidemic and thus take slops to
combat the disease before it
spreads to this country."
The speaker was Dr. Harry M.

Laboratory' at Walter Reed Army
Medical Center and co-discoverer
V markedly different from ' ny
previously known strains of . flu
virus. It -was soofv-detwmined-'that
persons in this country possessed
no antibody (a measure of immun
ity for the virus thus indictaing
the general susceptibility of. the
population to Asian flu. Further
studies suggested that existing vac
cine or even natural infection with
"ordinary" type A flu viruses con
ferred no immunity . to the : new
agent. ' "
The rapid spread of the disease
from the Far East to' other parts
of the world coupled with the rela-
of the new Asian virus. Dr. Meyer t lively high attack rates involving
all age groups have served to sub
stantiate the prediction of Drs. Mey
er, Hilleman, Miesse. Crawford and
Bankhead expressed in their article
regarding "the potential impor
tance of the new viruses as a ma
jor health problem in the U.S.A.
and probably much of the world."
Within days after the virus was
received at Walter Reed in May,
representative samples were sent
to the six pharmacutical firms 11-
is senior author of a scientific
paper recently published in the
Proceedings of the Society for Ex
perimenti'l liiology and Medicine
that served as the original descrip
tion of the new virus and a warn
ing of Its potential threat to the
United States.
He recently .moved to Chapel
Hill with his wife and three chil
dren and is now a member of the
house staff in Pediatrics at the
North Carolina Memorial Hospital, t censed to make influenza vaccine
the teaching hospital of the Uni- i and work was immediately begun
versity of North Carolina school of
Medicine.
In referring to the discovery of
the vims in May of .this year, Dr.
Meyer was quick to point out that
the credit belonged to a dozen or
more persons working on research
teams at the Army's 406th Medi
cal General Laboratory in Japan
and the Walter Reed Army Institute
of Research in Washington. D. C.
Since the end of World War II,
scientists at Walter Reed under the
direction of Dr. Joseph Smadcl,
now associate director of the Na
tional Institutes of Health, have
maintained a team of virologists
prepared to study and quickly diag
nose epidemics occurring anywhere
in the world. This group has work
ed on a number of outbreaks of
flu and other virus diseases during
he past several years but not al
ways as in the case of Asian in
fluenza has it come to the general
public attention.
In April of this year Dr. Maurice
Hilleman of Walter Reed saw a
newspaper article which described
a flu-like epidemic in Hong Kong
and promptly requested army virol
ogists in Japan to collect and fly
frozen specimens of the virus to
the diagnostic team at Walter
Reed for analysis.
When the Asian virus was receiv
ed at Walter Reed in early May
work continuing literally "around
the cl.'.fk" quickly showed it, to
on the development of a satisfac
tory vaccine to combat the disease.
To date about six million doses have
been produced and an estimated
eighty-five million will be produced
by the end of the year.
Dr. Meyer says that the . longer
it takes the disease to spread, the
better prepared the nation will be
to meet it because of the constant
incrase in the supply of - vaccine.
At the present time the U. S. Pub
lic Health Service reports there
have been over 100,000 cases of
Asian flue in the United States. As
cooler weather arrives it is as-
irnned that taase may areaeh
epidemic proportions. The Illnesses
described thus far have been no
more severe than ordinary flu and
it is hoped this will .'remain .; the
case through the winter months. .
At the present iime Df. Meyer
is taking pediatric residency train
ing a North Carolina ' Memorial
Hospital. Being a native of Pales
tine, Texas and a former resident
of Conway, 'Ark. Dr. Meyer is of
ten asked how he 'happened to
came to Chapel ' Hlli to' complete
his training:" I knew Dr. ' Curneri,
hot personally but by reputation- as
a ' pediatrician ' and virologist, and
felt that studying under him would
be an excellent opportunity to ob
tain pediatric training while at the
same time continuing in' research
work in his laboratory."
Dr. Meyer was speaking of Dr
Edward C. Curnen Jr., Professor
and Head of the Department of
Prdiatries of the University of
North Carolina School of Medicine,
who is known for his work on
Coxsackie and other viruses
Dr. Meyer is a graduate of Hen-1

the UniversKy of Arkansas School
of Medicine.He has spent the past
four years in the army and the last
three in virus research at the Wal

currently working on two addition
