Outbreak of flu-like sickness linked to bacteria in raw milk Here's sickening news for busy students: there's a new disease on campus - new, that is, to the University, and to other college campuses Campylobacter bacteria — which forced the shut-down of a Corvallis dairy last spring — appears to be on the increase in Oregon, according to University physician Jim Jackson Sixteen University students have come down with the disease in the past six months — one of them since the beginning of fall term, Jackson says Although most of the students recovered within a few days, Jackson says some students had to go to the hospital for several days "It can be relatively serious, he says Symptoms of the disease closely resemble those of the flu, but students experiencing fairly significant stomach cramps and diar reah should be checked for Campylobacter, he says adding that the diarrhea may be watery and contain blood All cases of the disease must be reported to the health department, and students living in cooperatives, dormitories, fraternities or sor orities should see a doctor and notify the health department if they think they have the disease. Jackson says The illness is something new to college campuses, and there seem to be more cases in Oregon than in other states But Dr Elizabeth Sazie at Oregon State University's student health center says Campylobacter has been around since the 1940s More cases are being reported because of the availability of a culture in which the bacteria can be grown, she says An outbreak of cases at OSU last spring was traced to raw milk drunk by the students The bacteria, which is transmitted by oral con tamination may be passed on by handling sick animals, drinking contaminated water or drinking raw milk Antibiotics can treat the disease within about 24 hours. Jackson says, adding that the best prevention is good hygiene washing hands after handling animals and avoiding raw milk IFC covers gays’ film rental Promising her organization would turn themselves around Gay People s Alliance representative Marsha Skudla rek yesterday persuaded the In cidental Fee Committee to pay for a film rented during last year s Gay Pride Week Citing GPA's willingness to volunarily r^t $1,000 from its original 1 I-82 budget of $3183 — in spite of deficits the previous year — Skudlarek asked the committee to stick it's neck out" for the $225 rental charge She said that making GPA pay the $255 would "tie her hands" with respect to a comprehen sive outreach program The committee accepted a recommendation by Alan Con treras ASUO budget director, to grant the film payment request but place GPA's entire budget on Executive Reserve ASUO approval is required for all ex penditures over $25 from a budget on reserve IFC Chairer Karsten Rasmus sen and members Steve Baldwin Kathy Phmney, and Light weight yet rugged parka Waterproof with a breathable liner!

By DEBBIE HOWLETT Of th« Emerald Serious questions involving the plans for possible relocation of the Pacific Northwest Re source Center are surfacing, and students and public figures are beginning to wonder just how much influence in the decision-making process the students have Monday, Russell Sadler, a syndicated political columnist, lambasted Olum over a handwritten note that Curt Simic, vice president of public relations, had attached to a draft of the revised agreement between the University and the National Wildlife Federation Last week State Rep Margie Hendriksen, D-Dist 40, predict ed that University Pres Paul Olum's decision will be the product of political and busi ness pressure Simic mailed the draft and letter to Bill Barrows, deputy legislative fiscal officer for the House Ways and Means Com mittee The draft is dated March 19 The draft plans for the wildlife federation to pay a rental fee to the University for office space in the Law Center while the University pays for the services of the wildlife federation's clin ical instructor. In his letter attached to the draft, Simic wrote," It does not go as far as Paul Olum and I want it to, but we are in discus sion with Dean Bell to include, at least, the possibility of mov ing the operation off-campus Everyone is not convinced but we will persevere ” That note was dated March 30 Wednesday, law clinic students will meet with Olum to discuss the Environmental Law Clinic, but they are questioning how much good the meeting will accomplish According to Sadler and law school students, the note im plies that Olum already has decided the fate of the PNRC and they say it implies that the forum Wednesday is merely a facade Simic’s response to the allegations is that in the letter he meant only that the draft was not as complete as he and Olum would have liked Simic also says there was no crusade to remove the PNRC from campus But law school students say there is more to it than that "If you can't see the deal in it then you're blind," says Holly Hummel, one of the organizers of the forum Food Service Vi Sandwich and soup for the price of one sandwich! 1.
