Flu Outbreak Increases,
Service Closed to Visitors
The University Student Health
Service has been temporarily
closed to visitors because of an
increase in the number of flu
cases at the University.
The Health Service was closed
to visitors Tuesday to prevent un
necessary spreading of the dis
ease. The building will again be
open to visitors when a “sus
tained low level” in the number
of cases at the University is
reached, according to Russell M.
Blemker, Student Health Service
Director.
Since there is no cure for the
flu, the only thing students can^
do is try to prevent its spread.
Dr. Blemker stated.
In attempting to avoid catching
the flu, the Health Service Direc
tor advises students t o get a s
much rest as possible, to avoid
excessive fatigue, and to avoid
being in crowds as much as possi
ble.
Abnormally High
The influx in the number of flu
cases is not unusual. The num
ber of flu cases throughout the
United States is abnormally high
every three or four years, accord
ing to Dr. Blemker.
According to Collegiate Press
Service, the outbreaks of flu af
fecting college students on the
East and West coast are not the
same. And neither variety is the
result of the type known as the
Asian Flu of 1957.
Health officials at UCLA and
Berkeley are urging students to
stay in bed and follow normal
cold remedy procedures. They
stress that the flu could lead to
pneumonia or streptococcal sore
throat if not cared for properly.
The Berkeley campus has insti
tuted the visiting nurse system
in residence halls because of the
spread of the disease. Only the
most serious cases are being ac
cepted at the student health ser
vice.
The illnesses in California are
of the type A-2 variety, while the
outbreak on the East coast and
in Washington State are of type
B, the Public Health Service says.
The Asian Flu was type A. Mel

White, of the Health, Education
and Welfare Office of Informa
tion, explained that viruses
change type and develop a strong
resistance (to vaccine). Thus, As
ian Flu progressed to A-l, then
to A-2. The California ‘bug” is
an offspring of the Asian Flu and
can be treated with a modified
Asian vaccine.
Four Classifications
Both influenzas are infectious
and seem to be spreading rapidly.
The type A-2 has spread through
out the state of California. Type
B has been confined in Massa
chusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Is
land. Georgia, Alabama, Florida
and Washington State. There are
some scattered outbreaks in
Maine, Vermont, New Hamp
shire, New York, New Jersey and
North Carolina. No outbreaks of
any kind have been confirmed in
the Midwest.
Officials warn that while flu shots
should have been obtained in Oc
tober or November, people who
| have not had them should Ret
| them and stay out of infectious
: areas for the two weeks it takes
; the shots to produce immunity.
There are, however, four classi
fications that are urged to take
I the two shots immediately: those
about to go into the service, preg

Duncan Announces;
Scramble Begins
By PHIL SEMAS
Associate Editor
The candidates began lining up more clearly for Oregon Con
gressional races Wednesday as Rep. Robert Duncan made a hurried
stop in Eugene on his way to Washington.
Duncan announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomina
tion for the Senate in Portland Wednesday, with a strong endorse
ment of the administration’s Viet Nam policy.
And the intentions of others who had been waiting for Duncan
to announce began to fall into place.
Howard Morgan, former member of the Federal Power Commis
sion and long-time Oregon Democratic leader, will probably run
against Duncan for the nomination. Morgan told Associated Press
in Portland, “I cannot support him.” Morgan is a critic of the
U.S. policy in Viet Nam.
Sen. Wayne Morse, one of the harshest critics of Lyndon John
son’s policies in Viet Nam, said in Washington, "If Morgan runs
I’ll support him.” Morse has said he will support no one who favors
Johnson’s policies.
Charles O. Porter, former Congressman from the 4th District
and a strong opponent of present policies, said his plans depend on
what Morgan decides and on a meeting this Saturday with Morse.
STILL DECIDING
He said if Morgan runs against Duncan he’ll probably run for
Duncan's seat. If Morgan doesn’t—“that’s a question I'm still
wrestling with. We need someone to challenge Duncan. I think
Morgan is the man to do it.” He said he is also considering running
for the State Legislature.
State Sen. Ed Fadeley (D-Eugene) was traveling with Duncan
Wednesday. He said they were having “a chat about problems in
the Fourth District.” He said “naturally I’m interested in running
but I’ve made no decision yet.”
William Frye, Lane County district attorney, a Democrat, will
hold a news conference at 10 a.m. today at the Eugene Hotel to
discuss the 4th District race.
F. F. “Monte” Montgomery, speaker of the Oregon House, a
Republican, said he would take another look at his political plans.
He announced on Jan. 31 that he would run for his seat in the state
House again, rather than for governor.
DUNCAN FLIES SOUTH
Meanwhile, Duncan hopped a United Airlines flight out of
Portland after announcing his candidacy Wednesday and headed
south. He stopped in Eugene for 20 minutes.
The boyish Duncan hurried off the plane and into a press con
ference at Mahlon Sweet Airport, shaking hands as he went—
left-handed. “My right hand is sore already,” he grinned.
Under the lights of the television cameras he read again the
statement he gave to reporters in Portland.
Various potential candidates in Oregon, said Duncan, “repre
sent a discordant symphony of dissention and disagreement that
can immobilize this country and in my judgment, destroy our
effectiveness as a leader of the free world and its best hope for
freedom and peace.
“I do not question the sincerity of these people. I defend their
right to dissent and debate. . . .
“ON SIDE OF POLICY”
“I must raise my voice on the side of my country’s policy because
I believe that, while we must be unrelenting in our search for
peace, we must be unswerving in our determination to prove, this
time to Asian Communism, that it shall not take over its neigh
bors one by one around the world until its aim of world conquest
has been achieved. ...
“If our commitment is not good in South Viet Nam it is no good
anywhere. Withdrawal or surrender—immediate or in stages—is
not the road to peace. . . .
“I would prefer not to fight, but if I must, I'will fight and fight
to win our objectives and I would rather fight Communism on the
Mekong than on the Columbia. . . .”

Faculty Meeting...
(Continued Irion fini/e l)
ulty meetings to the press and to
the public.
Flemming said that after the
study is completed, he will set up
an ad hoc committee of faculty
and students to make recommen
dations to the general faculty.
Drop Date ( hanged
The faculty also approved a
minor change in the deadline for
dropping classes, passed a Stu
dent Conduct Committee recom
mendation to amend the Conduct
Code, and set up an ad hoc com
mittee to consider the Conduct
Committee's jurisdiction regard
ing cheating and plagiarism and
other matters which might im
pinge on the academic freedom
of a faculty member.
The date to withdraw from
classes was extended to the fifth
week of the term for all stu
dents in their first term at the
University.
The final date for adding new
classes each term after registra
tion week was also extended,
from the second week to the
third week This faculty action
was approved by a strong voice
vote and will go into effect next
term. Changes in the drop date
were made only for new students
at the University.
\ oice \ ole
The Conduct Committee rec
ommendation to amend the group
offenses section of the Code was
also approved by a voice vote.
Wendell Basye, chairman of the
Conduct Committee, told the fac
ulty that the amendment was of
fered to bring the group offenses
section of the Code into har
mony with the other sections of
the Code. This was the only sec
tion of the Code that dealt with
civil law' specifically.
The amendment releases Uni
versity student groups and or
ganizations from the possibility
of sanction by the University for
failure to comply with civil law
or for encouraging the violation
of downtown laws. However, the
Conduct Committee is still free
to adopt legislation forbidding
the same offenses that are cov
ered by downtown laws.
Ad Hoc Committee
The ad hoc committee was set
up by the faculty after Basye
read a report to the faculty from
the Conduct Committee.
He explained that the members
of the Conduct Committee hoped

Hint faculty member* would co
operate with Conduct Code tri

plagiarism.
The report was a result of Con
duct Committee members ques
tioning whether faculty mem
ber* should give a student ac
cused of academic dishonesty a
failing grade before the student
has had a hearing before Student
Court.
It is possible that a student
could be found not guilty of
cheating by Student Court, and
still receive an *'F” for the
course.
l.ovc Makes Motion
Glen A. Love, director of Kng
lish composition, proposed the
motion, following Basyc's report.
In other business, two notices
of motion were read to be con
sidered at the next faculty meet
ing.
One notice of motion was in
troduced by Donald DuShane,
dean of students, for the ASt'o
Senate. This bill ask* that the
ASUO President and one other
student be allowed to attend fac
ulty meetings, and to speak dur
ing the meetings with the con
sent of the majority of the fac
ulty members present.
At this time, faculty meetings
are closed to the public and to
the press Nobody but faculty
member*, unless invited, may at
tend the meetings.

nomics, read another notice of
motion concerning the adoption
