Ogontz Campus Students Protest
Against r Dispensary Hours
(This is an open letter to the ad
ministration of the Ogontz Cam
pus of the Pennsylvania State
University -and, printed here by
permissions'of the signers)
TO THE EDITOR: As we are
sure this has. been brought to
your attention before, the Dispen
sary •is now open only Tuesday,
.Wednesday and Thursday of each
week from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. At
all other times there is no one on
campus who is qualified tp take
care •of the various problems .of
a medical nature which arise.'
v Besides numerous case of head
ache,'nausea, colds, scrapes and
splinters. which are common to
any enterprise of the'magnitude
of over'l,ooo students, faculty and
staff, various emergencies will,
and • do,- arise.
As an example take not of the
we of ''The Broken Leg." Even
at present the facts of the case
are not crystal clear to all, but it
- seems from most reports that afl
ler breaking his leg (two. simple
fractures) on the Men's Athletic
Field, the student' involved
walked up the hill to the Student
Union Building.'SUß, (in all prob
ability aggravating the injury to
e large extent)' from where he
was taken to the Abington Me
morial Hospital (still .without any
medication) and wailed an un
determined length of time (". . ,
.almost Ogontz
Campus Hews) for treatment.'
If a nurse had been' present on
campus, the Student would prob
ably have beerv'saved much pain
and aggravation with his injury
even if alUtnaf was done was the
use new wheelchair
(whiph we were so proud of %ih
thp'spring* term) to transport him
the hospital and the adminis
tering of a few aspirin tablets to
relieve pain. . )
. Many other things, which could
have been emergencies, save for
the quick action of a physical
• education teacher who believes
he has a duty' to the student's
welfare above that of'an instruc

tor, have have happened on cam
pus on days when the Dispen
sary is closed. (Examples—deep
cuts and contusions in Physical
Education classes, scrapes’ and
abrasions from the same source
as above as well as others such
as falling on the steps and cam
pus paths) and it is certain that
they will increase as the weather
grows colder making skin, more
brittle and paths ana steps slip
pery.
Happily, other accidents have
occurred on days when 'the nurse
was present and have been han
dled swiftly and efficiently by
the Dispensary. Details are not
necessary here but the instances
are mentioned to show that trou
ble doesn't occur only on Mon
days, Fridays and Saturdays.
We, the undersigned, therefore
respectfully request action by the
Ogontz Campus administration, or
by whatever body
within the Pennsylvania State
University to retiirn the Dispen
sary of the Ogontz Campus to a
full time seliedule on Monday
through .Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30

TO THE EDITOR: I would like to
draw attention to some points
made in last Saturday's issue of
The Daily Collegian under the
heading “Rugby Squad— Meets
Penn."
The squad was formed about
two months ago in l the hope o!
introducing rugbj to Penn State.
All but three of the players' in
the squad had neveri seen a game'
of rugby, let alone played it. The
first game played was a scrim
mage against Villanova in' which
the Stale team was soundly
beaten 46-3. ✓
The improvement in each
scrimmage has been little short of
remarkable and at; present the
lean has a'2-3 record with wins
against,St. Josephs: (contrary to
the in the Collegian
ar&cle) and on Saturday a fine 9-0
X*n against Penn. It was unfor
tunate that the Penn game was
