Flu facts

In the United States, flu
season usually occurs
from about October
until April.

Influenza, also called
"the flu". is caused
by viruses that infect
the respiratory tract.

Although nausea,
vomiting, and
diarrhea sometimes
occur during a flu
infection, such
symptoms are rarely
prominent. “Stomach
flu" is a misnomer
sometimes used to
describe
gastrointestinal
illnesses that are
actually caused by
other microorganisms.

Most people who get the
flu recover fully
within 1-2 weeks.
However, some
people develop
serious, life-
threatening
complications such as
pneumonia. In an
average season, flu is
associated with
20,000 deaths
nationwide.

Currently there are
three different
influenza virus
strains that cause
epidemics: two type
A strains and one
type B. Type A
viruses are divided
into subtypes based
on differences in two
viral proteins called
the hemagglutinin (H)
and the
neuraminidase (N).
The current subtypes
of influenza A are
designated type
AtHlNl) and type
A(H3NZ).

Influenza viruses
continually change
over time, and each
year the influenza
vaccine is updated to
include viruses that
represent the most
current changes.

Flu vaccines are
70%-90% effective
in preventing flu
among healthy
adults. In elderly
or chronically ill
persons, the flu
vaccine may be less
effective in
preventing illness
than it is in
preventing serious
complications and
death.

Annual flu shots are
recommended for
people who are at
high risk of having a
serious complication
when they get the
flu. This includes all
persons age 65 years
and older and
persons of any age
with certain chronic
heath conditions.
Vaccination is also
recommended for
health-care providers
and others who have
frequent contact with
persons at high risk
for serious flu
complications.

Wmeningitis risks at

 

Experts downplay vaccination need,
point to record of few cases in years

By Chris Markus
surr WRITER ’—

UK Health Service of-
ficials have determined
that meningitis does not
currently pose a serious
health risk to students of
UK and LCC.

Dr. Spencer Turner
of the Chandler Medical
Center said “meningitis is
not a current problem at

UK or l.(.‘("' and that
there has not been a docu-
mented case of meningitis
at UK in four or five
years.

This decision comes
in the wake of last week's
announcement by the
Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention‘s Ad-
visory Committee on [m-
munization stating that
college students should be
educated on the dangers

of meningitis and have ac
cess to the vaccine for the
virus.

Turner blames the re-
cent meningitis scare on a
widely misinterpreted
reading of the CDC press
release last week as a mo
ommendation to vaccinate
for meningitis when the
press release was only in-
tended to persuade col-
leges and universities to
educate students on the
disease.

A university study
conducted in Maryland
that found that seven stu-
dents living in college dor-

mitories were infected
with the disease over a
five year span may have
also contributed to the re
cent concerns. said ’l‘urn-
cr. The study was de-
scribcd by Turner as “not
statistically strong."
While recent studies
have shown that college
students living in dorms
may be very slightly more
susceptible to meningitis.
the disease remains rela
tively rare. infecting only
3,000 Americans a year.

The meningitis vaccine is available to

students through University Health
Services. The cost is about $80.

Meningitis is fatal in 10 to 15 percent of

those infected.

The disease can lead to death in 24 to

48 hours after contraction.
About 10 percent of the population
carries the meningitis virus in the
nose and throat region without
becoming infected.

About 1.6 college students per 100,000

will become infected with the
disease.

Accordians fill the air in
Barker Hall for Sunday jigs

By John lampler
NEWS EDITOR

Squash Beetle Morris. a group of
dancers and musicians that meet on
Sundays in Barker Hall's dance stu-
dio. are keeping alive a centuries-old
form of English ceremonial dancing

known as Morris dancing.

“It's good exercise and a lot of
fun." said Alex Boster, a former UK

student.

Morris dancing was originally an
element of spring festivals in England.
References to it exist as far back as the
seventeenth century, but evidence
suggests that it may be even older

than that, Boster said.

The dance involves a lot of fast
and energetic movements, and is
rather loud. Dancers wear bells at‘
tached to their legs. and in some of the
dances. perform movements that in
volve hitting long sticks one against

the other.

Accompanying musicians typical—
ly play a fiddle or an accordion.

Beverly Buchanan. who has been
playing accordion accompaniment for
Morris dancing for 20 years, first got
her start at Berea College. which has
a strong Morris dance tradition.

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Dogs. rollerblades and
strollers were among the
sights at Commonwealth Sta-
dium yesterday afternoon at
Run for the Kids. a 5K race
sponsored by Delta Delta
Delta social sorority.

The 5K race. held annual-
ly to raise money for the UK
Children‘s Hospital, brought
in more than $5.000 for chil-
dren‘s cancer research.

In the past. the race was

  

held early on a Saturday but
this year it was changed to
Sunday afternoon.

“A lot of people were ex-
cited about the time change."
said Jenny Rachford. a
speech pathology junior and
a member of Tri-Delt. who
headed the event this year.
“We have a lot of students
that participate each year
and this time is more suitable
for their schedules.“

Despite the cold weather
Saturday. more than 150 par-
ticipants showed up for the
event. People wore every-

thing from gloves and scarves
to running shorts and short
sleeves.

While some people were
out there just for the competi.
tion. others were there to sup
port the cause of the race.

“I think it is great that
the money goes directly to
the UK hospital and that this
group is so dedicated that
they coordinate and prepare
the whole race by them-
selves." said Marc-Phillip
Russell. a first-year medical
student.

Students from the UK
medical school won the
award for the largest organi-
zation participating in the
race.

“We decided to come out

a first year tnedical student.

Every participtmt re

snacks and drinks. and 14
door prizes were awarded.
First-place. runners received
awards.

Brendon Rock. a political
science senior. won the male
division. “I run a lot of races
and l took part in it last year.
so I came out again this year
because I hoped to win it." he
said.

Plans are already being
made for next year. "As long
as it continues to be a stic-

the race every fall." Rachford

tor of outreach division of

the Kentucky Cancer Pro-
gram.

Eighty percent of breast
cancer patients have no his»
tory of the disease in their
family. so early screening
means early prevention.
Linyille said.

Most breast lumps are
not cancerous, but only a
physician can make the di-
agnosis. When a woman has
a suspicious lump. a diag
nostic mammography can
determine whether addition—
al tests are needed

"We try to reach women
who may not hear the mes
sage: We provide care at re»
duced or no cost," Liny'ille
said. “Sometimes those
funds go unutilixed because
women just don‘t know the
help is out there.”

Breast cancer is the
most common form of cancer
(other than skin) in American
women and the second major
cause of death after lung
cancer. Eighty percent of
women with breast cancer are
over age 50.

Studies have shown that,
for women ages 50-69, having
regular mammograms along
with breast exams by a doctor
or nurse could reduce deaths
from breast cancer by one-
third or more.

The overall five-year
relative survival for breast
cancer is 75 percent, which
means that 75 out of 100
women that get breast cancer
this year will be alive five
years from now.

SLAl'f WRITERS

The UK men's and women‘s
teams won their season openers
Friday night against intrastate ri»
val Louisville at the Lancaster
Aquatic Center. UK took first place
in every individual and relay
event. The score of the men‘s meet
was 128-912. while the women won
136-96.

“Louisville has a good team.
btit they aren't as strong as us."
said head coach Gary ("onelly
“The win wasn‘t too important be-
cause we had fast times and very
good swims frotn tnany people."

Co-captain Dave Tw'eedie. who
won the 200 freestyle itt 1:41.08. has
already swum faster than he did
last season. Shaun Zitani. who has
not practiced speed work much
this season. won the 100 freestyle
in 45.71.

“Right now I'm in the best
shape ever at this point in the sea-
son." Zitani said. “We have a lot
of confidence. and the freshman
are playing a huge role for us."

Freshman Eddie Clement
played a big role. winning both the
200 individual medley and the 200
butterfly. ()ther event winners for
the men included Aaron Cuker.
David Kuendig. Joe Mittel. co-cap-
tain Macon White and Aaron
Workman.

The other men‘s double event
winner was freshman diver (‘lay-
ton Moss. Scoring 306.90 points in

one-meter diving and 820.48 points
in three-meter diving was excel-
lent for his first NCAA meet.

"I was happy with my dives to-
day. especially with the season
just starting. and it being my first
meet." Moss said. “This wasn‘t a
big meet so there wasn't much
pressure. but I need to work on
raising my scores even more."

Coach Conelly believes that
sophomore Carolyn Rader, who
swatn an impressive 2:02.91 to win
the 200 butterfly. will qualify early
for the NCAA meet in March. Rad-
or also won the 200 individual

Soccer

The men‘s team lost their fi-
nal home game to Louisville 2-0
at the UK Soccer Complex.

The loss drops the Cats
record to 9-5-1 overall and 4—0-1 in
the MidAmerican Conference.
The loss hurts their chances of
receiving an at large bid to the
NCAA tournament. however
they remain tied for first place
in the MAC.

“It hurts to lose to a bad
team." said UK coach lan
Collins. “This is the first time we
lost to an unranked team."

UK is tied with Akron for
first place in the conference and
Collins said each team has two
tough games this weekend. The
winner receives an automatic
birth to the NCAA tournament.

Collins said the team played
very bad and took blame for the
loss.

"There were two very bad
teams playing tonight." he said.
“They are not a very good team
and we played badly. but that is
my fault. It‘s my job to have the
team prepared."

UK‘s remaining games are.
away games at Northen Illinois
and Western Michigan on Friday
and Sunday. respectively.
