Despite flu

Rumors that USC will soon close
because of the month-long flu
outbreak are just that-rumors.
"We have no intention of closing
down the school as of now," said
Dr. Isao Hirata Jr., director of the
Student Health Center.
"The only reason we would close
the school is if we had to turn back
students from the health center.
Eight now we have plenty of space
available. Plus, the situation as
far as staff is concerned is very
good. We have four or five doctors
available at every clinical
session."
HIRATA'S SECRETARY said
she had been inundated with
telephone calls concerning the
rumored shutdown, but denied any
knowledge or possibility of,; the
university closing down.
In the five years that Hirata has r
been director of the health center,
the university has never been shut
down because of a widespread
illness, he said. He mentioned that
two years ago all the infirmary
beds were filled with flu victims,

but the school did not close. This
year's flu epidemic is not as
serious as that one, he added.
"I think the'A-Texas epidemic
here at the university is beginning
to grade off a little; at any rate it is
getting no worse," he said., _
THE RUSSIAN FLU that was
isolated last Friday in Spartanburg
County has the doctor worried,
however.
"The Russian strain is similar to
the Texas one. It may make one
feel a little sicker perhaps, but so
far it it gives indications of being
shorter lived than A-Texas."
The daily number of students
visiting the health center has been
close to 300, according to Hirata,
who added that all were not flu
victims, but the great majority
were.
