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.

Eric A. Walker, dean of the
School of Engineering, will speak

supported, maintained, and aug 7
mented by students and student
organizations. The present prin
cipal totals $3287, and a working
fund of. $124 exists.
. The committee is seeking addi
tional funds for the working fund
so three $5O scholarships may be
awarded. However,. Fehnel said,

or the amount ,of each has been
decided yet.
Scholarship application- forms
will be available tb students Feb.

tion to campus student activities,

Grid Films
To Boost
Chest Fund
Films of the Pitt-Penn State
football game will be shown at
7:30 p.m. Thursday in 119 Os
mond, according to Edwin Kohn,
president of Blue Key Hat society.
Richard Crafton, chairman of
the committee in charge of the
showing, said the showing is
sponsored by Blue Key as a fund
raising project for the Campus
Chest. A charge of 25 cents a per
son will be made.
- James J. O’Hora, assistant pro
fessor of physical education, will
narrate the showing.
Touchdown scenes, which had
been removed for newsreels, have
been replaced, Kohn said.
The project is apparently one
of the first of several additional
fuiid-raising events hinted at by
Campus Chest officials. The pos
sibility of additional fund-raising
projects appeared when the Cam
pus Chest drive reached only 92
per cent of its $12,000 goal. The
amount raised by the end of the
drive is $11,048.98 —an amount
that is subject to change pending
collection of the pledged money
by the bursar. Collections of fees
is scheduled for Thursday and
Friday.
Of the $11,048.98 pledged .or
collected, $1300.34 was obtained
from the receipts of the Kickoff
Dance, Sept. 19 another fund
raising project for the Campus
Chest other than the solicitation
drive itself.
