Official sees outbreak of Russian flu virus here By PAM KELLEY Staff Writer While UNC students recover from the A Texas and A-Victoria influenza viruses which have attacked persons in at least 37 states, they should be warned that another similar flu strain, the A-USSR, may hit North Carolina in the near future, says Dr. J. N. MacCormack, head of the Communicable Disease Control Branch of the North Carolina Health Service. MacCormack said Sunday the Russian flu will cause particular problems for colleges and schools, as the strain almost exclusively hits people under 25. A virus similar to the Russian flu appeared in this country about 20 years ago, so people born prior to 1957 have some immunity to this new strain. Although a vaccine for the flu is being developed, MacCormack said it will not be available for several months. In the meantime, the only help for the sore throat, fever and aches the flu causes is rest and fluids. He said he advises people in high-risk groups, such as people with chronic diseases. to see a physician it they contract the virus. One drug, amantadine, can help prevent and cure the flu in high-risk patients. "Because the Russian flu has caused a 60 AUNT SANDYS s AMY, I YEAH, SORRY ABOUT AilTHlS. MY PEACOCK'S BEEN SICK. BOY! I LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING I HAVE TO PREAPyjl percent absentee rate in schools it has hit, there is a possibility that some North Carolina schools could close because of lack of students," MacCormack said. He added he expects the Russian flu to hit North Carolina harder than previous strains have this winter because North Carolinians caught only the tail end of the A-Texas and A-Victoria flu epidemics. The national Center for Disease Control has issued a report which lists nine separate localities across the country where the Russian flu has struck. Last week, flu epidemics were confirmed at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y., and the Air Force Academy in Colorado. MacCormack said places such as military academies are particularly susceptible to the virus due to the large amount of travel in and out of them. For this reason, college campuses also are particularly susceptible. The first documented case of Russian influenza occurred among high school students in Cheyenne, Wyo., during the w eek of Jan. 15. Since then, outbreaks have been detected in the Southwest, North Central and Eastern Seaboard areas of the country. The CDC says additional outbreaks are under investigation.

The proposed settlement was rejected on a 30-6 vote and UMW attorney Harrison Combs said negotiators now must "start over" in their efforts to end the record walkout. news briefs Because the council must approve any contract agreement before it is passed on to rank-and-file miners for ratification, Sunday's action makes a quick settlement unlikely. In the meantime, coal supplies in the cast central United States are dwindling to crisis levels. No date was set for renewed talks.

February 13, 1978 The Daily Tar Heel 3 accused Washington of taking sides in peace negotiations with Egypt. Israel's government radio reported that the Defense Ministry had ordered a halt to development of new ground for settlements in the Sinai and a high-ranking Israeli government official said the move was a gesture to Cairo. "It was decided that it was best that operations be curtailed," the official said. Bella runs again NEW YORK - Bella Abzug and her Republican opponent, S. William Green, began the final stretch of their hotly contested race Sunday for the Congressional seat vacated by Mayor Edward Koch. The former congresswoman and Green square off Tuesday in a special election for the 1 8th Congressional District seat in Manhattan's wealthy "Silk Stocking District." The race is an attempted political comeback for the flamboyant Ab.ug, who gave up her seat in the House two years ago to make an unsuccessful bid for the U.S. Senate. L ast year she ran for mayor and lost again. Although the 57-year-old Atuug is the favorite in the heavily Democratic district, the race has been a heated one, with Green mounting a well-financed media campaign. Unlike last year, winners this year will go on to compete intercollegiately within the state. State winners advance to national competition. The state and national competition probably will be televised, Swanson said. The College Bowl still needs scorekeepers, timers and moderators. Interested persons should call Swanson at 929-734.1 Teams should check the schedule posted in the Carolina Union for location and the union desk for times of play. - SHANNON BRKNNAN SUPPER FAMILY STYLE now being served al College Cafe Carr Mill 5:30-8 PM Tues.-Fri.
