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. turn and his charges had gotten there first, so they kept it. Junius Scales, who served as Communist' leader in . Tennessee and the CartlLftas, and was a stu dent at Carolina, has had tis case thrown oirt of court. The Justice Dept. says his Smith Act convic tion must be reversed in view of a recent Supreme Court ruling that defendants must have ' access to pertinent government files in . cer tain cases. Scales was free on bond pending appeal of a ' six-year sen tence for violtaion of the member ship clause of the Smith Act. . ... . . . The new "get tough" policy of taking license ".; fcumbera of. s cars not havivng registration' tags has caused the disappearance of a num ber of cars on campus.

BMITHOI.OMKW ' Th- sjiaatioii regarding Asian flu f s unifjue. TlpTJcnuc IimuenTa 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. Meyer Ir. formally chief of the Virus and Rickettsial Diagnostic 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 drix College of Conway, Ark. and 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 ter Reed Army Institute of Re search. He has published nine pa pers in scientific Journals and is currently working on two addition al publications. . ciiiiiiemifinw?p . V ?:. ,r m ' ' ' . . : .. i r.R.
