"Never Closed"
"Since I've been here, we've
never had to close down,"
commented Paul Saunier, Jr.,
director of the University Relations
Office. "If the president is here, he
would certainly be the one to make
the decision to close down," he
said.
He reported that he had no
word on the number of students
reported ill, but noted that "a
number of officers in the University
have been hit and are shorthanded.
I do know there is a high rate of
sickness among the staff."
William H. Fishback, Jr.,
director of University News
Services, cautioned against the
premature attribution of the
increased number of students
reporting ill to the Hong Kong
strain of flu.
