Nurse Joyce Garlone noted that for the upteenth day in a row, seven of the 10 students were complaining of flu symptoms. One week after winter break, the students were breakinf down our doors," Carlone said. Sick students have been besieging campus health centers throughout the country, especially in the South and Southeast, as a flu epidemic spreads without much control. Administrators are juggling appointment books and infirmary beds to accomodate the rush of flu victims. At the University of Vermont, for example, appointments are not to be bad.

Not in Ohio, said Dr. Robin Conk of the University of Miami in Oxford. The Ohio Public Health Department told him the flu epidemic wouldn't be hitting Ohio too hard this year.
