Health Service Asks Precaution The length of the current list of patients in the College infirmary attests to the effect of the present changing weather on student health.. Examinations having a tendency, to .come . the sarne._week f stu dents' are - apt` to attempt getting along with a minimum amount of sleep and with high prices some students skimp along on their meals. Both of these practices result in rundown systems, leaving the body susceptible to many dis eases. which would otherwise be resisted. With generally crowded facili ties the spread of disease becomes an important fact6r in our daily lives here at the College. Students who are ill are urged to report to the infirmary before they aid in the 'spread . of germs to healthy students. Other students are urged to take care of their own health so that they don't add to the pres ent burden on College facilities. Aero Engineer Students Organize College Chapter .
