Final Plea
Is Made By
Physician
Threat of an Asian flu epidemic
here was emphasized again today
as plans were completed for a
two-hour vaccine distribution clin
ic at Gerrard Hall.
University Physician E. M.
Hedgpeth said the clinic will be
held between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
today. Vaccine will be availabe at
no cost to all UNC students.
Dr. Hedgpath emphasized that
all vaccine not used in today's
clinic, and similar one slated to
morrow, will be "disposed of,"
presumably for use elsewhere in
the state.

Body Takes Other
Important Action
By DAVIS YOUNG
The Carolina Symposium, under the direction of Chairman Sonn3
Hallford, met yesterday afternoon to hear reports from committees,
appoint a new vice-chairman, Jerry Oppenhcimer, and to announce
chairmen for standing committees.
A report was heard from Al Goldsmith, chairman of the finance
committee, who stated: "We have raised close to S2.500 at this point.
I would like to thank the Interfraternity Council for a grant of $25
and the University Party for a donation of $50. Our anticipated budget
is about $6,000."

address at Kiee Institute.
Despite the impressive achieve

last half century and the great pro- j
uress toward a full and objective
history of the South. Dr. Sitterson
said, "the approaching centennial
of t ho Civil War had already divert- j
ed the energies of southern histor- i

serious neglect of other significant
and unexplored areas of the region's
history."

Dr. Sitterson mentioned the growth the
of Southern industry, the history of
the Negro since Reconstruction,
political party history in the 20th
century, and th. role of Southern
congressional leadership in the 20th

Also appearing on the panel dis

Avery Craven of the University of

Medical authorities have urged
all students here to take the Asian
flu shots, with an eye to prevent
ing a major outbreak of the dis
ease in the Chape Hill community.
"Just because a person may
have a mild cold is no reason why
he shouldn't take advantage of the
vaccine," Dr. Hedgpath said.
He said only those persons sick
with a fever, or others allergic to
eggs or chicken, should refuse to
take the shots.

Air Delense Command reported
today it received 46 reports of un
identified objects from through
out the nation last night but only
three, including one from Kearny
Neb., "deserved ftithcr study."
Capt. Andy Be;ley, NORAD
public information officer, said
two Air Force invesigators weie
sent to Kearney after a Califorian,
R. O. Schmidt, told of sighting a
cigar-shaped object on a Nebraska
prairie and chatting with four men
and two women in it.
Beasley said the command had
not yet decided whether to asign
inspectors to the two other report
ed sightings. He did not say where
these reports came from.
Whenever such a story is car
ried by mapor news networks.
Beasley added, "We get a rash
of reports" on unidentified ob
jects. "It takes only one report to set
off such rash," he said.
NORAD Said Monday it had sent
an investigator to Reese Air Force
Base, Lubbock. Tex., to probe re
ports that a "brilliant colored,
eggshape.d object" had stalled au
tomobiles in West Texas and New
Mexico. This investigator was due
to return to command headquarters
today.
"The accumulated date from our
investigations arc forwarded thr

The removal of other UNC coaches

this.

Society, that "all great men are

Americans were accused of being

these statements by implying that
