October Brings Flu To U of M Campus Bleary eyes, hacking coughs, hstlessness, and dying cow looks were very much in evidence during the month of October. Anyone who was anyone had Asian flu. Garrett Hall and Harford Hall were made into temporary hospitals for male students, and coeds were treated at the infirmary or in temporary dorm infirmaries. Students who lived within an hour ' s drive were sent home. ROTC and PE classes were called off for a week to help everyone recuperate. Of most concern to the students, however, was the threat of homecoming decorations being called oS due to the number of students unable to participate. But eventually a semblance of normality was reached and campus life again flourished. MISERY LOVES COMPANY, as do victims of the Asian Flu. T -. v JUST WHAT the doctor ordered. AND THIS SEEMS to be the cause of it all. (A niicrophoto of the flu virus.) 25

Royalty Reigns at No. Carolina Game An enthusiastic throng of 43,000 fans greeted Queen Elizabeth II and Prince PhilHp when they came to Byrd Stadium to see the Maryland vs. North Carolina football game. Before the game, co-captains Jack Healy and Gene Alderton of Maryland, and Dave Reed and Buddy Payne of North Carolina, gave the Prince an auto- graphed football and a replica of the ACC coin tossed at the beginning of the contest. Our cheerleaders presented Her Majesty with a mum trimmed with the ribbons of both schools. The Queen also was offered a beautiful vase displaying the University of Maryland seal. Our royal visitors seemed to be very pleased with the game, the bands, the card section and the delirium of the crowd. The purpose of the visit was to witness a typical Saturday afternoon American football game. In every respect it was a perfect day. A NEW FAN, Prince Phillip, added to the ranks of Mary- land football enthusiasts. TEAM CAPTAINS Gene Alderton and Jack Healy present souvenir pigskin at games opening.
