This indicated that between 700 and 750 UNC students were holed up in their dormitory or fraternity house rooms recuperating from "acute respiratory infections," and infirm ary officials reported they were seeing approximately 300 students each day. Those actually hospitalized numbered about 65. Explaining his decision to keep the University open, Chancellor ; Aycock said that "the best medical advice seems to be to continue classes." He went on to say he had the utmost confidence in the judgment of Dr. Hedgepeth the other medical officials.

N. said States is urging Turkey to launch an attack with "lightning speed." in order to confront the U. N. with a .situation whereby the world organization "may have no time to take steps to prevent aggres sion.'' The Soviet accusation came on the heels ol these swift develop ments in the U. N. on the explosive middle east situation: 1. Syria intormed U. N. Secre I tary General Dag Hammarskjold I that an attack by Turkey was im ; minent. Syria rejue&ted the 82- nation General Assembly be called i.into session immediately to ap point a U. N. commission to in I vestigate the situation on the I tense Turkish-Syrian Irontitr.

The price is $10.50 round-trip. Jones stated that due to a lack of response, there will be no bus returning Saturday. Any students holding tickets for Saturday may contact Graham Memorial, he said. It was apparent that the Soviet Union and Syria were making as sociated moves in the United Nation. The Soviet accusations against the United States were contained in a 1.200-word letter from Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko to Sir Leslie Munro, president of the Assembly. Copies of the letter i were distributed several hours after the Syrian request for as sembly action was released.

(See Russian page 3) Yack Pictures Sophomores ar.d nursing stu dents who have not yet had their Yack pictures made have been granted an extension through Fri day at 7:30 p. m. by Editor Gene I Whitehead. Junior, graduate students and first, second and third year med students are also having their pic tures made today and Friday in the basement of Graham Memorial, expected delivery of 5.000 doses was deferred. The limited supply received prior to the opening of school (100 doses) was given to the football team and to members of the hospital staff. The recom mended practice is to vaccinate medical personnel first. Since the opening of school, over 1.000 doses have been re ceived and administered to medi cal staffers. Approximately 250 doses have been received this week and the vaccination of stu dents has begun, it was reported Yesterday Dr. Hedgepeth re leased the following remarks con cerning the infirmary situation: 1. It is better to be ambulatory or in dormitory or fraternity house rooms than in the hospital for those with mild cases of flu. 2. More serious cases are ad mitted to the infirmary, and the N. C. Memorial Hospital today made available a ward for stu dents to take care of the overflow, in the event the ward is needed. 3. Admission to infirmary beds is determined in each case on an individual basis by an examining physician. The degree of tempera ture is only one of the criteria considered. 4. In fraternities and sororities the members are taking care of one another in food and nursing needs. In dormitories, roommates we helping, and the dormitory counselors and officers have taken the initiative in bringing food and providing nursing and other serv ices. All this is in addtion to visits hy the medical teams from N. C. Memorial Hospital. 5. Most of the students are get ting well in from three to five days. The outbreak here has not defi nitely been diagnosed as Asian in fluenza. Tests are being made to find out. Meanwhile the situation has been termed "an epidemic of acute respiratory infection." ews fcrief RSSKijMppsii. SHI :,ilHK,;;i:Uai;illl:I'H!i!li U. S.
