FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 8, 1946 Cowslip Dream Sue, Coed Get College Medical Care Penn State cows and horses get sick, too. And like Penn State coeds and men, they are not neglected by the College. Just as the In firmary takes care of Suzie Smith when she contracts a case of the grippe, the Veterinary 'Hospital on Ag Hill cares for Penstate Cowslip Dream Sue when that docile cow needs medical attention. All College-owned livestock in to the small stucco building, be hind the north wing of the. Dairy Barn. Facilities of the hospital in clude 10 stalls, an operating room, and sterilizers and instruments neededl for all types of veterinary treatment. Pipes Form 'Operating Table' The unusual operating room is centered around a set of huge up right and horizontal pipes anchor ed in the middle of the floor. This structure constitutes the “operat ing table,” into which animals are herded and immobilized for opera tion. - Clientele of the Veterinary Hos pital are approximately 1400 head of livestock owned by the College. This figure includes cattle, horses, sheep, and swine only. Chickens and turkeys just don’t rate a hos pital bed'. Glancing over the Col lege enrollment 'figures you can see that the 1400 animals on Ag Hill far outnumber the 553 stu dents enrolled in the School of Agriculture. This fact doesn’t seem to prove anything, however. Shigley Heads Hospital In charge of the Veterinary Hos pital is Dr. James F. Shigley, pro fessor of veterinary' science. The personnel staff also includes: Dr. Stephen Gorduck and iDr. William T. S. Thorp, professors of animal pathology research, and Dr, John Straley, instructor of veterinary science. Dr. Shigley is charge of the pre-veterinarian curriculum, and teaches related veterinarian subjects, including pure-bred horse breeding. The second floor of the hospital is somewhat of a museum. This room, houses the skeletons of the horse and mule that hauled stone used in the construction of the ■Farmers’ High. School. :By way of . reminder to those who haven’t read the general catalog recently, this building was the original Penn State, built in 1K855. These skele tons were located and returned to the College by Dr. Shiigley. The Veterinary Hospital oper ates much in the way a regular hospital does. It keeps records of treatment, and dates of adlmis . sion and discharge for all animal patients. One of the extra services that the hospital performs is that of malting autopsies on dead wild life for the local agent of the Pennsylvania'.'Game Commission. Hospital -Admits Deer, Pigeon Occasionally strangers make their way into the animal hos pital. Dr. 'Shigley_relates that a few years algo a deer ran into the side of Old Main and injured it self. It was taken, to the hospital for care, but died the following day. Another time, a carrier pig eon, very tired and trailing an in- Available Bookings |f for Spring Semester DICK BERGE and his ORCHESTRA ★ For arrangements and all information contact Jinx Falkenberg, Chi Phi SALLY'S By FRANK DAVIS need of hospitalization are moved jured wing, ianded in State Col lege. Dr. Shigley kept it for sev eral weeks in the hospital, then sent it back to its home in New Jersey after he had located its owner by the number on its leg band. The more usual non-College pa tient is the robin or sparrow with a broken wing that a coed brings in for repair. Sometimes the wing can be set, and' after a'few weeks the bird takes to the air again. Present patients of the Veter inary 'Hospital are 5 cows, 14 calves, and. 3 pigs. They are suf fering from illnesses which are al most human in their complexity and number. When asked what; was the matter with her, one sick ' cow was able to utter a mournful “Moo.” Chapel Gallup To Speak On Honor, Peace Regional director of the , Na tional Conference of Christians and Jews, Dr. Wallace L.
