Do you think the University should have an ambulance and do you think the student body should be willing to pay some or all -of the cost for such an ambulance? In answering the first question most students either said they were satisfied with - the service or they refrained from answering because they had no personal con tact with the service. 99 Call Service' 'Good' Ninety-nine students said they thought the service was about as good as could be expected. Sixty-six said ' the service was inadequate and they could not find anything good about it. Sev enty-five students either had no personal contact with the Dispen sary or Infirmary or would give no opinion. Some of the opinions of stu dents, both pro and con, were: . Elizabeth Barbieri, fifth semes ter arts and letters major: "The doctors seem to be quite inter ested in each individual case. I think the service is very good." Edward Bachtel, third semester horticulture major: "The Univer sity Health Bervice can be greatly improved." 'Should Get Excuses Easier' Frank Haftl, third semester business administration major: "I think the health service is pretty efficient, but health excuses should be• easier to obtain." Elaine Bohorad, first semester arts and letters major: "Both the Infirmary and Dispensary are greatly understaffed." Charles Diefenderfer, third se mester pre-veterinarian major: "The facilities of the health ser vice are very poor." - Aurelia Arre, fif t h semester language major: "I think the staff concentrates too much on pills." Ann Skapik, seventh semester education major: "The health ser vice can't be more impersonal but it can be improved." Jean Kutz, fifth semester edu cation major: "The dental service is very good but the medical at tention given to students is in adequate."

Receipts for fee payment by mail will be returned to students at their homes, and they may pick them up during semesters. Receipts will be required at regis tration.

Ninety-seven thought the Univer sity should pay the entire cost. The other students gave no an swer to the question. Although students were evenly divided on who should pay the cost of the ambulance, women were decidedly in favor of the University paying the entire cost. Sixty-two of the women thought the University should pay, where as only 35 male students held this opinion. Answers to the question "How many cases do you think the In firmary and Dispensary handle in one school year?" ranged any where from 300 to 400,000. Twen ty-six students came within 15,- 000 ,of the exact number, 50,000. Only five students were able to give the exact number of cases. Ninety per cent of the answers by students to this question ranged within the figures 5000 to 10,000.

A Very Merry Christmas ,Riggra::„:. and A Happy New Year to All Students and Faculty Richmond Awarded Baseball Franchise WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 (R)—The International League today tentatively awarded a franchise to Richmond, Va. The award was contingent on the ability of franchise owner Harry C. Seibold to secure a ball parly._whicli meets - International League specifications. Seibold told repcirters he ex pects to have no difficulty in meeting that requirement. Frank S ha,u g hn e ss y, Inter national League president, said that if Seibold comes up with his park, Havana, Cuba, will be ad mitted as the eighth member of the league. He said he had as sured the Havana people ,of this in the event Richmond - was ad mitted. The decision was made after eight hours of conference. The big hitch was to get Edwin Mooers, who owned the Richmond fran chise in the Piedmont League,- to surrender his franchise to Siebold. In the end, Mooers sold his fran chise to Seibold for a figure said to be $25,000. Mooers, however,, retained possession of the ball park in which the Piedmont Lea gue club played. • Richmond , and Havana would succeed Baltimore and Spring field, Mass., in the International League. Springfield recently gave up its franchise while Baltimore switched to the American League. The other International League cities are Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, N.Y.; Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal, Canada.
