With the cold, wet weather the
Bryan-College Station area has been
having recently, many students at
Texas A&M University may find
themselves sick with the flu.
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.

Mexico’s southeast peninsula got
its name in 1517 when the conquis-
tadores arrived and asked in Spanish
what the place was called. The na
tives, who knew no Spanish, replied
in their tongue: “Yucatan — what
do you want?”

I’m my own
boss.
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. If you’re a graduating senior in
electrical or mechanical engineering, or
physics, let’s talk. Please contact your
placement office.
