STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 28, 1953 Ambulance Possibility Is Remote The possibility of an ambulance owned and operated by, the Col lege in connection with the Col lege Health Service was described as remote yesterday by Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director of student. af fairs. The best chance for the addition of the ambulance to the health service equipment, Kenworthy said, would be in the event that the General S t a t e Authority would take action on the proposed enlargement to the Infirmary. Pro visions for an ambulance and its housing and operation might be included in the plans for the new wings, he said. The two biggest obstacles in the way are cost and - housing, he said. The cost of an ambulance today could, be conservatively estimated at about $7500, he reported. The College, he added, would have to construct some type of garage for the vehicle. Expense of this is un reasonable considering that an ad dition to the Infirmary is pend ing, he said. Other problems involved would be maintenance of the equipment and supplying trained drivers in constant attendance, Kenworthy said. As. a result, he said, the cost of the health service fee would undoubtedly have to be increased.
