FLU SHOTS MADE AVAILABLE ON CAMPUS
Seasonal flu immunizations were available to the Hilbert College and surrounding communities from 10:30 a.m. to noon Oct. 14 in the Campus Center conference room. Shots were administered by Independent Nursing Care. The shots were free for individuals covered by Independent Health, BlueCross BlueShield, Univera, and other major insurances. The cost was $30 without insurance. As of now, swine flu vaccinations will not be provided at Hilbert’s flu clinic. For more information, e-mail Phyllis Dewey or call ext. 232.
H1N1 Information
Federal and State Department of Health Web sites have been providing the latest breaking information relative to the Novel Flu (H1N1) virus. These alerts are taken seriously by Hilbert’s Wellness Center, which has worked to implement recommended precautions and protocols. The health and safety of Hilbert College students, staff, and faculty are of its utmost concern. As readers may be aware, cases of H1N1 flu are growing on college campuses throughout the United States. Symptoms of H1N1 flu include a fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 37.8 degrees Celsius, sore throat, cough, body aches, chills, fatigue, and in some cases diarrhea and vomiting. If you develop these symptoms, please follow these guidelines: 1. Stay home from school, work, campus functions, and community activities. 2. Remain at home until you have been without a fever for one day without the use of fever-reducing medicine such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. 3. Contact your healthcare provider for additional instructions. STDENT4. Hilbert’s Wellness Center recommends that students living on campus go home to be cared for by family members. Students should not drive home but rather call for a family or friend to pick them up. 5. Resident students who are unable to go home should contact the Office of Residence Life for additional recommendations. TheGOV Wellness Center asks you to do the following: FREQUENTLY wash your hands and observe respiratory etiquette (sneeze into your elbow rather than your hand). · Use the liquid hand sanitizer stations that have been added to the following campus buildings: o Two in the Hafner Recreation Center; o Two in the Campus Center; o One in St. Joseph Hall; o Seven in Trinity Hall . · Additional locations that will soon have hand sanitizers are these: o McGrath Library; o Bogel Hall; o Paczesny Hall. o Antibacterial wipes will also be made available in the computer labs. · High-risk groups include being pregnant or immune-compromised (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, HIV, etc.). If you fall into either group and experience flu symptoms, seek treatment immediately! · If you are experiencing flu symptoms, please stay home and call in sick. Err on the side of being overly cautious rather than risking the health of colleagues. · If you see students who are experiencing flu symptoms, strongly urge them to go either to the Wellness Center or home immediately. · For up-to-date information regarding H1N1, visit the www.flu.gov website. It is recommended that you prepare for the flu now by taking these steps: 1. Purchase a thermometer, acetaminophen or ibuprofen, throat lozenges, a decongestant medication, and an ample supply of fluids such as water, ginger ale, tea, juice, etc. It is very important to stay well hydrated if you have the flu. 2. Develop a flu plan with your family. 3. Consider purchasing surgical masks to use if you are sick or if someone you live with gets sick. 4. If you have a medical condition that places you at high risk for complications of flu, such as diabetes, pregnancy, asthma, or are immunocompromised, you should talk to your healthcare provider and outline steps to be treated as soon as possible to prevent complications. 5. Follow infection control strategies and prevention steps outlined by the Center for Disease Control, including frequent hand washing, coughing and sneezing into a clean tissue or your sleeve, and staying six feet away from someone who is sick. 6. Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth since germs enter the body through these openings. 7. Eat a healthy diet, including fruits and vegetables. 8. Do not smoke or chew tobacco because it can lower your immune system. 9. Do not use alcohol or other drugs, as these can weaken your ability to fight infection. 10. Avoid crowded places when flu is circulating in your community.

Ernst PLAYER OF THE WEEK; Every Saturday from now until mid-December, Dipson Theatres and the University of Buffalo are presenting GOAL KEEPER OF THE Midnight Movie Madness, in which there will be midnight viewings of a diverse array of classic films at the Dip- son Amherst Theatre in Buffalo, New York, located just across the street from the University of Buffalo’s South WEEK Campus. On Saturday, Oct. 10, I ventured over to the theatre with my sister after a long day at work. It worked out perfectly for me because I got out of work at 11:15 p.m. Usually, I am an odd mix of tired and wired afterwards, and I prefer something to wind me down rather than to keep me going, as a party, club, or bar atmosphere would do. My sister and I were surprised to find out that admission was free for UB students, and only five dollars for the general public. That particular night, they were showing Michel Gondry’s visually stunning walk backwards through the meaningful memories of a long-term relationship in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which has maintained its top spot on my personal favorite movie list since I first viewed it in that very theatre back in 2004, when it was first released. How wonderful to see it on the big screen one more time! The theatre is located at 3500 Main Street, Buffalo, New York 14226. The film schedule is as follows: Oct. 17 Anchorman Oct. 24 Talladega Nights Oct.31 Friday the 13th Part II & Steven King’s Thinner Nov. 7 Casablanca Nov. 14 Happy Gilmore Alyssa Hulbert Nov. 21 Wayne’s World Nov. 28 Hangover Women’s Soccer Players Hulbert had 7 points (3 goals, Dec. 5 Taxi Driver 1 assist) in the 7-0 win over Dec.12 It’s A Wonderful Life Forward Alyssa Hulbert University of Pittsburgh at Grab your friends from UB, support a local theatre, and enjoy the wonders of seeing some great films back on the (Tonawanda, NY/ Greensburg, tying the team big screen.
