Dr. Claude Goswick, director of Beutel Health Center at Texas A&M, said the flu affecting this area is a combination of two strains. He said it is composed of one-third to one-fourth of the A-Victorian strain and two-thirds to three-fourths of the A-Texas strain. The A-Texas strain, a new variant of the flu, acquired its name because the virus was first isolated in cases in Texas, Goswick said. He said there will probably be a flu epidemic at Texas A&M because of the season, adding that many other states are already having epidemics. Goswick said that an epidemic “when there are more cases of a par ticular disease than would normally be expected for that disease, that area, and that time of the year.” Goswick also said there is no vac cine that would be of any value to a person who has the flu, because it takes up to six weeks for a person to become immune. Goswick added that time is the best cure. There are 44 beds for in-patients at the health center, Goswick said. But he doesn’t anticipate any pro longed illnesses from the flu. He said a person would probably be sick for only a couple of days with the flu. Goswick added that the health center will probably be using a new express clinic a lot during the epidemic. Is; He said there is not mucli son can do to prevent catchingH ‘V flu, because of the crowded * tions on campus, such as ^ , halls and classrooms. jff 3 „ Goswick’s advice is to avoidJj§'' tact with someone who already’® V0ITU the flu, to dress appropriatei) the weather, and to make Fexas lilC Cl 1 id lilUHC USE Bi other common sense measures, fli Voi e g JANUARY SALE Tues /ed.-Thurs.-Fri.-Sat./Jan. 24-28 reee tcquila DPINK5 United Press International Mexico’s southeast peninsula got its name in 1517 when the conquis- tadores arrived and asked in Spanish what the place was called.

I work for Schlumberger. There’s nothing routine about a career with Schlumberger. Just ask Larry Gutman who joined us a year ago. “Working as a field engineer for Schlumberger is everything I thought it would be,” says Larry. “I like to be out doors. Work with my hands. And keep my own hours. “I’m responsible for myself, my crew —and everything that happens on the job. It’s really exciting to make things work out right. “Some people aren’t cut out for this. It takes especial person. I work long, hard hours—and sometimes it’s tough to stay awake. “But it’s worth it. Because I’m satis fied with myself and my work...and you can’t beat the money.” Ready for a challenge? Maybe this is for you.
