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.
LA Council Elects

result of a "nation that lauds per
fection and has instituted an ed
ucational system to work alchemy
on its members."
"This mass self-improvement,"
he said, "is a demonstration that
the objectives of democracy can
be achieved."
5 Alumni Get Awards
