N. Mil ler, director of the student health service. The infirmary has been able to handle all cases, but for the past week its 26 beds have been nearly all occupied, mostly by students with flu. Dr. Miller stated that a sudden change of weather, such as that experienced here early this week, often causes a sharp increase in the number of flu cases. Symptoms of flu vary from se vere back pains and headaches to sore throats and coughs, Dr. Mil ler said, and those who contract flu ghould either go to bed or re port to the infirmary for treat ment. Being a virus disease, flu has no positive cure, he concluded.
