Apparent Flu Outbreak Hits JRP Residents
An outbreak of what appears to be gastro-intestinal "flu" hit about 30 men from Joseph R. Pearson residence hall Wednesday.
Six JRP residents were admitted to Watkins Memorial hospital Wednesday with temperatures ranging between one and a half and three degrees above normal. Estimates of number of men in bed with the ailment at the residence hall ranged from 14 to 24.
Since the orignal outbreak of "flu" in the hall, no new cases have been reported, Dr. Raymond Schwegler, assistant student health director, said last night.
The illness, which lasts on the average of 24 to 48 hours, affects the digestive tract and makes it hard for anyone with it to retain solid food for the period of infection. It is usually accompanied by a rise in body temperature.
There had been rumors in JRP that the outbreak of cases yesterday was caused by food poisoning because of the sudden wave of attacks. Dr. Ralph Canuteson, director of the student health service,
said that cases of food poisoning have occurred at KU in the past when a group of students had eaten food that had spoiled.
He said the most common cause of the poisoning was food sent from a student's home that should have been refrigerated and had spoiled en route to the student.
Mrs. Annette Bee, a registered nurse from Watkins hospital, went to JRP to question residents who
"There has been no proof that outbreak was caused by anything that the students had eaten," Mrs. Bee said.
had complained of the digestive system upset.
She said JRP residents she questioned had eaten a variety of foods, some in places other than the hall.
Larry Miller, Coffeyville graduate student and JRP assistant residence director, said that no correlation on any one particular food causing the
illnesses has been found.
"Whatever it is, it spreads rapidly," Miller said. "Ninety per cent of the men affected came down with it Wednesday morning."
Students who feel that they might have the alliment are advised by the hospital to eat no solid foods for 24 hours and to stay off their feet. The second day, clear broth, tea, unbuttered toast and clear gelatin may be taken; but dairy foods, especially milk, are to be avoided.
Art Museum To Open New Room Sunday
The new Riemenschneider Room of the KU Museum of Art will be opened from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday with a public reception.
In the room featuring KU's collections of medieval art will be 24 pieces of sculpture in stone and wood, 35 paintings, and more than 90 pieces of stained glass, textiles and other decorative arts.
The new room takes its name from Tilman Riemenschneider, German artist who died in 1531
and who is represented by two sculptures in lindenwood.
His "Madonna and Child," one of the museum's most valuable pieces, was a gift of the late Mrs. Harry C. Thurmau in memory of her husband, who taught German at Kansas.
A second feature of the opening will be an exhibition of 40 prints and drawings borrowed from the private collections of KU students.
