Infirmary Service
To Improve—Glenn
By CAROL KUNKLEMAN
"We are on the threshold of an enormous improvement
in health service," Herbert R. Glenn, director of the Ritenour
Health Center, told the Faculty Luncheon Club yesterday.
In a talk explaining the origin of college health services
and their functions, Glenn said that student health aid is

"We will be kn wn as the.
Hat Society Council whether
or not the Women's Hat So
cieties are represented," Stan
ley Foster, council president,
announced during the reorgan
ization meeting of the group last
night.
"It's up to your he told the
presidents and secretaries of the
six men's hat societies repre
sented:
Since October 11, 1959, the or
ganization has functioned under
the name of Men's Hat Society
Association. The council disband
ed after the women's hat groups
withdrew.
"Women's Hat Societies are vir
tually under the Dean of Women's
office," Donald Clagett, secretary
treasurer, said. "When they see
that true spirit is not directed by
anyone, but comes from the stu
dents, they will return to the
council," he said.
Clagett's statement expressed
the general sentiment of the
group. Samuel Minor added that
the men's societies need the coun
cil to coordinate their tappings
and establish projects, whereas
the girls don't.
In other business, officers were
elected for the new year. Frank
Milus of Parmi Nous was chosen
president; Richard Pigossi of An
drocles, vice president; and Dean
Wharton of Delphi, secretary
treasurer.
Projects were announced for
the coming year. The council will
usher at the state-wide high school
track meet and at the Artists
Series.
Panhei Holds Tea
A tea for State College High
School senior girls, sponsored by
the City Panhellenic Association,
was held last night in the Ather
ton lounge.
Two representatives from each
sorority on campus served as
hostesses for the tea.
Mrs. Arthur K. Anderson, ad
visor to the Alpha Omicron Pi
sorority on campus and past na
tional president of the sorority,
spoke on "The Values of Sorority
Membership."
A display of the badges of the
national sororities on campus was
shown.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA
originally an American institu
tion. Very few European schools I
have established health programs.
"Since World War 11, more
prestige has been added to this
work," he reported. Until 1945,
first-class personnel were not
employed by colleges with
health centers, he added.
Tracing the history of student
health service. Glenn said that;
the spread of tuberculosis in col
leges was the impetus for start
ing health centers early in the 19th,
century. Health service began be
cause many college students con
tracted the disease due to poor
housing facilities and improper
food.
Reviewing the University's pro
gram, Glenn showed a photostat
ic copy of a list which had em
ployees' names and the $l.OO fee
they paid for a doctor to visit the
campus. The list was dated 1859,
when the University was called
the Farmers' High School.
"We are probably the first
school that added medical aid
to its services," Glenn said. He
added, however, that in 1910 the
University of California was the
first college to provide a health
service as we know it today.
A health center was established
in 1912 when a scarlet fever epi
demic broke out on campus. The
first infirmary was in the Elec
trical Engineering building. "Stu
dents called the rooms the 'Devil's
Den' and the 'Bright Angel',"
Glenn said.
When Joseph Ritenour became
director in 1915, he continued, the
infirmary was moved to Beecher
Cottage; in 1929 the central wing
of the present center was built
and in 1957 the east and west
wines were added.
Presently, the Center's staff
includes 11 doctors, a dentist, a
pharmacist, 20 nurses, five tech.
nicians and five service people.
"We also have a health physi.
cist and operate our own ambu
lance," Glenn said.
Glenn stressed that although
the services of the center are pro
vided primarily for the students
at the University, the staff is al
ways willing to help anyone in
an emergency, whether he is a
town resident, faculty member cr
visitor.

EUROPE MADE SIMPLE: NO. 2
Last week we discussed England, the first stop on the tour of
Europe that every American college student is going to make
this summer. Today we will discuss your next stop, France—or
the Pearl of the Pacific, as it is generally called.
To get - from England to France, one greases one's body awl
swims the English Channel. Similarly, to get from France to
Spain, ono greases one's body and slides down the Pyrenees.
As you can see, the most important single item to take to Europe
is a valise full of grease.
No, I ani wrong. The most important single item to take to
Europe is a valise full of Marlboro Cigarettes. Oh, what a piece
of work is Marlboro! If you think flavor went out when filters
came in, treat yourself to a Marlboro. The filter works perfectly,
and yet you get the full, zestful, edifying taste of the choice
tobaccos that precede the filter. This remarkable feat of cigarette
engineering was achieved by Marlboro's research team —Fred
Soft pack and Walter Fliptop —and I, for one, am grateful.
But I digress. We were speaking of France—or the Serpent of
the Nile, as it ie popularly termed.
First let us briefly sum up the history of France. The nation
was discovered in 1492 by Madame Guillotine. There followed
a series of costly wars with Schleswig-Holstein, the Cleveland
Indians, and Captain Dreyfus. Stability finally came to this
troubled land with the coronation of Marshal Foch, who
married Lorraine Alsace and had three children: Flopsy, Mopj,
and Charlemagne. This later became known as the Petit Trianon.
Marshal Foch—or the Boy Orator of the Platte, as lie was
affectionately 'called—was succeeded by Napoleon who intro
duced shortness to France. Until Napoleon, the French were the
tallest nation in Europe. After Napoleon, most Frenchmen were
able to walk comfortably under card tables. This later became
known 113 the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Napoleon was finally exiled to Elba where he made the
famous statement, "Able was I ere I saw Elba," which reads
the same whether you spell it forwards or backwards. You can
also spell Marlboro backwards—Oroblram. Do not, however,
try to smoke Marlboro backwards because that undoes all the
efficacy of the great Marlboro filter.
After Napoleon's death the French people fell into a great
depression, known as the Louisiana Purchase. For over a cen
tury everybody sat around moping and refusing his food. This
torpor was not lifted until Eiffel built his fallloll3 tower, which
made everybody giggle so hard that today France is the gayest
country in all Europe.
Each night the colorful natives gather at sidewalk cafes and
Phout "00-la-la" as Maurice Chevalier promenades down the
Champs Elysees swinging his Malacca cane. Then, tired but
happy, everyone goes to the Louvre for bowls of onion soup.
The principal industry of France 13 cashing travelers checks.
Well sir, I gauss that's all you need to know about France.
Next week we'll visit the Land of the Midnight Sun—Spain.
Next week, this week, every week, the best of the filter
cigarettes Is Marlboro, the best of the non-filters Is Philip
Morris, both available in soft pack or flip-top box.
