omecomin
With treatment for several colds,
athletic injuries, a major operation,
a pneumonia case, heart attack,
strep throat infection, and 338
blood and urine analyses, the newly completed Central Michigan College Health Service and clinic has
completed its first three weeks of
business. Located in the south wing
of the Lucy A. Sloan building, the
unit has become one of the most
important and far-reaching improvements on the campus and has
established clinic hours when students may report for attention.
Clinic Hours Listed
Clinic hours are from 7:45 a. m.
to 10:00 a. m. and from 1:30 p. m.
to 3:30 p. m. Prom 8:00 until 10:00
a. m. Dr. P. R. Johnson is at the
clinic to handle cases' needing the
service of a physician. Miss JennaV
Laug and Miss Dorothea Shaffstoll
alternate during all clinic hours.
Miss Laug came here last year as
college nurse. Miss Shaffstoll arrived
this year from Munising. She is a
graduate of Butterworth Hospital
School of Nursing in Grand Rapids
where she was head nurse in the
surgery  department.   She left this
work to enter private office nursing
and comes to Central from that
work. ......
Students who miss classes because
of illness should report or have a
report made to the Health Service
at once and then report for examination and an illness excuse before
returning to classes. It has been requested by the Health Service that
students report during clinic hours
except in emergency cases.
The health unit is composed of
17 rooms which include four for
treatments, two semi-private and
two private rooms, and attractive
lobby and an up-to-date and well-
equipped laboratory. There is also
a kitchen where trays are prepared
with food supplied from the Keeler
Union cafeteria. Included in the
equipment is a diathermy machine
which is used under the direction
of a doctor. A whirlpool will soon
be installed to care for athletic
injuries.
Central's health service is' recognized by many authorities as unique
in the health field. Through an
arangement with downtown physicians,   it is possible   for  students
to obtain what amounts to full time
doctor services, even during hours
of the day when the college health-
unit is not open.
This arrangement, initiated la£t
year with some misgivings by college authorities, has worked out,
according to Dr. Louis E. Hutto,
head of the department of health,
and physical education, exceelingly
well, providing Central students
with a health service second to
none.
Now Nearing Completion
Slightly delayed by priorities attributable to the national defense
program, the health unit nevertheless is rapidly nearing completion, with only a few items' of equipment still to be delivered.
Within a short time, an X-ray
program, operating cooperatively,
with the Central Michigan Community hospital now under construction, will be set up. At that
tie, the old scratch tests for incipient tuberculosis, which if positive
should be followed at once by X-
ray, will be replaced entirely by X-
ray examinations in the first hv
stance.

Picture-Magazine
Added to Library

Michigan college library subscription list. Available now to students,
PM's a picture magazine noted especially for the fact that it carries
no advertising.
This news-magazine, daily and
Sunday, has become known as a
fearless and unprejudiced publication, which is attributed to a great
extent to the no advertising angle.
But it has an extremely wide news
coverage and especially able writers.
PM has become very well known in
its few years of publication.
The magazine is in the college
library through special arrangement. It has been secured on a trial
subscription at a reduced rate, with
the request from the magazine officials that at the end of the three-
month's trial period, Central Michigan College students, through C. V,
Park, librarian, comment on the
practices, policies, and give their
opinion of the paper to its editors.
