PAGE' FOURTEEN Health Service Cares For Sick Serving the student since 1915, the College Health Service pro motes' general health and treats ill and injured undergraduates of the College. From its small be ginning it has grown to a mod ern clinical dispensary and a 30- bed hospital employing ten full and part-time physicians, 15 nurses, four technicians and a pharmacist. The two main branches of the health service that the student will be interested in are the Dis pensary and the Infirmary. The Dispensary. is the out-patient di vision, and is the first to receive the . ailing student. Located in 3 Old Main, it handles minor ill nesses and injuries, over 40 per cent of which are respiratory. ,The Infirmary, or in-patient division, is located at the corner of Pollock and Shortlidge Roads, ° and is open 24 hours a day. Em ergency cases occurring at times when the Dispensary is not open are handled in the out-patient department at the Infirmary. Each student patient is en:- titled to seven days of free treat ment> in the Infirmary each se mester. After the expiration of the allotted time, the patient is charged at the nominal rate of $3.00 a day for each additional day of confinement. • ;The semester health fee does not cover calls or treatment in the student's rooms by members of ,the health service staff. Plans now are in progress to increase facilities of the health service by 'addition of two new wings to -the Infirmary to bring available bed space to 46. Also included are a new dispensary to replace the one presently in Old Main, a nurses' dining room and new kitchen facilities. Await ing sufficient funds are the pur chase of an' X-ray machine and an ambulance. Frosh Under Fut (Continued from page three) walks. leading out _from Old Main as :"hello walks."

This week Panhellenic guide books will be dis tributed to .all new sophomore coeds, and the next two weeks these little books probably will replace the Penn State Handbook as, the women's Bible. Even with the help of the guidebook, advice from everyone, and a grim determination to remain sane until the end, sops women will find 'themselves scurrying through two exciting but ex hausting weeks. Because open houses are so crowded and she can meet so few of the members of each sorority, the rushee should answer as many coke date invitations as possible. Coke dates, by the way, do not necessarily involve drink ing a coke in every sorority suite. They're simply a chance for ac tives and rushees meet in reg ular class clothes and to learn to know each other. "At Homes" Cutting for both sororities and rushees should begin in earnest With the "at homes." By this time each woman should know which sororities seem to be her "type," and should select about four to continue visiting. She will visit these for coke dates and parties Dean Of Women Extends Greeting The members of my staff and I extend a sincere welcome to you who . have come to the campus this Fall.

Weston Dean of Women MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1956 Begin House the second week, and at the end. of that time she must select no more than two coffee hours to attend. • After the coffee hours, which are formal and usually very im pressive, she should go to the office of the dean of women and turn in her first and second choice from among the 19 soror ities on campus. If either of those have selected her, they will pin their ribbon on her, and soon after will pledge her. The first decision to be made by the woman is, of course, whether to "go sorority." There. are ad vantages both in being independ ent and in being a sorority mein ber. Nancy George, • -. president of the . Panhellenic iCoundil, and Joan Wentzel,' president .of Leon ides, woman's independent or ganization, will explain these at a mass meeting. Formal or Informal _ If the coed decides she would like to join a sorority, she'll have to decide to be rushed•formally or informally. Informal rushing begins a short time after the for mal period. By waiting she will miss much excitement, for there are no planned parties or enter tainment, but she is given an un limited amount of time to select. Open house on Saturday and Sunday opens the rushing sea sons. Each girl wears a date dress or a suit, but, of course, no hat, and begins to meet an enormous group of people, who are, all try ing to impress her favorably, and vice versa. In order to choose the sorority that suits her best, it is well for the coed to try to visit as many suites 'as possible during open houses. This year for the. first time at Penn State, she may visit sororities she missed- those two days any weekday at 11 a.m. without invitation.
