(Continued from page one) ,•
the Infirmary 24 hours a day (ex
cept during regular College vaca
tions), the Health Service can cope
with most emergencies requiring
medical attention.
However, the health fee does
not include calls or treatment in
students’ rooms by members of
the Health Service staff. It is a
rare medical emergency that pre
vents moving a student to the
Infirmary by tailor private auto.
But exceptions to this rule may
be made by Dr. H. R. Glenn,
director of the Health Service, in
critical emergencies.
First to receive the ailing stu
dent 'is the Disensary, or out
patient department, located in 3
Old Main, Here, over 40 per cent
of 'the cases treated are re
tory in., nature, but there are a
wide variety of other aches and
pains to care for.
Dispensary Hours
The Dispehsary is open from 8
a.m. to 12 noon and from 1:30 to 5
p,m. during weekdays of the reg
ular semesters. Saturday hours
are from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. At
times other than these, including
Sundays , and holidays, all patients
are cared for in the outpatient
department of the Infirmary. Such
treatment of non-emergency con
ditions is conducted from 10 to 11
a.m. :
The Infirmary, or College hos
pital, located at the corner of Pol
look and Shortlidge Roads, is the
inpatient department. Hers, in
addition to the 30-bed hospital,
are the physical therapy lab, clin
ical lab, and X-ray department,
Handle Most Medical Cases
The hospital has complete fa
cilities to handle most types of
medical cases except those involv
ing major surgery. Cases requir
ing major surgery, and. this in
cludes approximately 25 cases of
acute appendicitis each year, are
transferred to hospitals of the stu
dent's choice. All fractures are set
by the hospital staff,
A recent fracture set by. the In
firmary staff _ was suffered by a
student who fell from the.; second
story. window of a fraternity
house. He suffered several broken
bones in his foot and was soon
moving around with the aid of a
walking cast applied at the'ln
firmary,
Each student patient, is entitled
to seven days of free treatment in
the Infirmary each semester. After
expiration of the allotted tifjie. he
is charged at the nominal rate of
$2.80 for each additional day of
confinement.
In addition, the health fee iqf
eludes the expense of one X-ray
if ordered by a member of the
medical staff. Not .long ago. an
X-ray was taken of a -student’s
shoulder to determine' injuries
suffered when he was struck by a
gas-powered model airplane.' Rad
contusions proved to be the ex
tent of the injuries.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
(This is the fifth in a series of articles concerning prominent
senior men and women who have proven themselves outstanding
in one or more fields of activity at the College.)

“My main goal, ever since I was a child,” Charles Beatty,
secretary-treasurer of the Athletic Association, said, “has been to
defeat Penn in football.” This goal was realized last year when
Penn State defeated Penn 13-0 at Franklin Field in Philadelphia.
“That day was probably the best day in my life, as far as football
is concerned,” Beatty remarked. If he hadn’t been in the way, of the
Penn back during one play of
the game, Penn would have
scored a touchdown.
Beatty has played center on the
itball team
■ four years.

Honoraries are' also included in
Beatty’s activities. He belongs to
Druids, Parmi Nous, and Phi

in physical education and hopes
to coach a college football team
after graduation or, perhaps, play
professional ball. .
Quakertown is Beatty’s home

student at the College, last

as many other students do; that
the best man to run it is George
Donovan, the present head. of
Student Union and student ac
tivities.
“Another innovation I feel the
College would profit by is the
setting-up of a system whereby
the students evaluate faculty
members.” Beatty pointed out.
“I think the present political
arrangement is very satisfactory,’’
he continued. “If any independ
ent or fraternity group would
decide to start their own political
party, it would endanger the stu
dents’ governing privileges. ‘ It
would give College authorities a
legitimate reason to step in and
assume control of the situations
that formerly were in the stu
dents’ hands.”
