STATUE COLLEGE, PA;, SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY' 14, 1953 FOR A BETTE] Plans May Double Infirmary Capacity Normal capacity of the College Hospital will be doubled if plans pending before the General State Authority are approved, Dr. Herbert R. Glenn, director of the College Health Service, said yesterday. - . , ~ . The plans to complete the Infirmary call for construction of two wrngs to the hos pital. These wings will increase the medical facilities of the Infirmary and increase its capacity from 30 to 60 students. If pressed for room, as during the current wave of grippe on campus, the enlarged Infirmary could accommodate al most 100 students, Glenn said. A “good many empty beds” are available in'the present Infirmary, Glenn- said .as he reported im provement in the Infirmary sit uation. Thirty beds, normal capa city of the Infirmary, are still filled. The decrease in patients was attributed -to admittance to. the hospital of only two of 25 stu dents who were examined yes terday. Earlier this week admis sions were Tunning as high as 12 to 25 a day out of an examined 50 to 70 students. This decrease in the number of cases probably in dicated a near end of the high number of grippe cases, he said. Conditions in the Infirmary still were not normal, Glenn said, be cause the Infirmary usually does ,not operate at capacity. The pre sent suspension of Infirmary vis iting hours will continue indefi nitely due to the presence of the contagious upper respiratory dis eases cases. At noon yesterday, Glenn was still making rounds to empty as many beds as possible for later in the day. Students who are ill may go to the Infirmary for examination any time this weekend, he said. Dr. Glenn had worked on plans for the Infirmary' wings for 18 months and submitted them to the College. Construction apparently, is only awaiting action by GSA. -Plans for construction of a new classroom and office building and an army,- air, and naval sciences building are also pending before the corporation. - .No information was available yesterday about official excuses being issued to students who had been ill and asked by Health Ser vice officials to remain in their rooms. Under present regulations, these cases may not be excused. Walker to Tallc Monday Eric A. Walker, dean of the School of Engineering, will speak on “Engineers Get Organized” Monday in 110 Electrical Engi neering. Students enrolled in En gineering 3 will attend the lecture.
