By Jamell Brown-Smith Transcript Correspondent

The common cold is cir- culating around campus. 40 to 50 calls were made to the Student Health Cen- ter last week, according to Health Center Director Marsha Tilden. Students have called to report symptoms such as coughing, stuffy noses, scratchy throats and, in more extreme cases, vomit- ing. Junior Allison Beal said at least two students in all of her classes missed days from a cold with similar symptoms. While all students are encouraged to report any colds to Student Health Services, Tilden said most of these cases are the result of a viral cold and immune Photo by Jane Suttmeier to the effects of antibiotics, Senior tight end Erik Wall runs from Denison junior Emerson Thacker on Saturday.
