Print Book
By Architect
The University Press will
publish an architectural book
IWednesday by a husband and
wife who are former faculty
members.
"Rehabilitation Center Plan
ning, an Architectural Guide,"
was written by F. Cuthbert Sal
mon, former associate professor
of architecture, and Christine F.
Salmon. former associate profes
sor of housing and home art and
!chairman of the division at home
art. The Salmons are both reg-
I istered architects.
SalmOn was named professor
and head of the School of Archi
tecture and Applied Arts at Ok
lahoma State University, effec
tive Feb. 1.
This book explains the rehabil
itation problem to the architect
and presents some possible solu
tions. It also points out the kind
of contribution an architect can
make in planning such a center.
A 32-pago supplement of
plans and programs of rehabili
tation centers in this country
and Canada has been published
with the book. T. Rowland
SlingWU, director of the-Uni
versity Pr e ss, said the Press
will publish such a supplement
annually.
• The book is the result of a pro
ject conducted by the University,
the Conference of Rehabilitation
Centers and the American Insti
tute of, Architects. Salmon was di
rector of the project.
The Salmons have' specialized
in the design of buildings for
the care of mentally and phy
sically handicapped. They are
also consultants for the Nation
al Society for Crippled Chil•
dren.
During May the Press will pub
lish two other books. They are
"Philosophy and Argument" by

sociate professor of philosophy;
and "Jean Giradoux: His Life and
Works" by Dr. Laurent LeSage,

Confusion Causes
Hospital Complaints
A member of the Safety Commission told Cabinet Thurs
day night that the majority of complaints against the Ritten
our Health - Center are based on a lack of information or mis
information on the part of the students involved.
Nancy Kress, chairman of the commission, released the
report following a 2-hour discussion and tour led by Dr.
Herbert R. Glenn, in addition to
other investigations.
Miss Kress said none of the
cases made known to the com
mission definitely indicated neg
ligence on the part of the hos- 1
pital staff. She asked that all spe
cific complaints involving the
Health Center be brought to the
I attention of the committee so
they may be subsequently inves-1
tigated.
A member of the commission
met with Elwood F. Olver, di
rector of the Division of Se
curity, for a general discussion
and briefing session.
Miss Kress said Olver ex
pressed concern over damage in
flicted on the fire alarm systems
and safety appliances by students
and stressed that the equipment
was intended for the safety of the
building's occupants.
Cabinet members questioned
the fact, that there is no direct
central alarm system from the
various residence halls to Hie
fire company. Miss Kress said
the alarm inside the dormi
tories is to alert students but
that a call must be, made to
the fire company in addition to
sounding the alarm.
- Miss Kress was asked' to see if
a central alarm system could be
worked out in the residence halts.
In other business,' Steve Ott,
chairman of the center-campus
integration committee, gave a
progress report' on response by
centers to the integration plan.
,Ott told Cabinet he had re
ceived affirmative responses from
the Behrend and Scranton centers
and negative replies from Harris
burg and New Kensington cen
ters. Other centers have not indi
cated whether or not they would
like to be included in the pro
gram, he said.
