I believe if Dr. Mix, you and I could get together we can work something out that will be wholly satisfactory to all concerned. Certainly a student who is bedfast or seriously injured ( fracture) ee Gee ee ee However, Chancellor Malott does not want anyone flunked, armed services want the men in as good physical condition as it is possible to have then. We are endeavoring to conform to the wishes of all these people. It was my notion that we might agree upon a plan that if a student was kept out with a slight cold he should make it up because it would not be safe to exercise him while he has this con- dition, yet for all good purposes it would be well for him to make it up on account of his om physical fitness, Perhaps I am not as clear as I should be, but I believe ‘if we three could sit down and discuss the matter we could arrange it to our mutual satisfaction. I will take the initiative in the next few days and see if we cannot meet for this conference. However, I am leaving Friday for Lineoln and Anes end will not return until the 16th, and leave that night for Stillwater, returning the 18th.

Director of Physical Education, FOA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach. November 26, 1942 Mire As Je Mix University of Kansas Lawrence, Keneas Dear Vrs Mix, The increased demands on this department necessitated by the requirement thet students missing physical conditioning must present a doctors excuse lead us to offer this suggestion, Many of these cages are of very minor illnesses or injuries that really do not require a physician's attention but make it inconvenient for the student to participate in exercise. During the firet 24 days of November we issued 335 statements of excuse from physical conditioning and diseussed with an additional 30 students physical complaints which did not warrant exeuse, The issuing of exouses is not a simple clerical procedure, It requires, in many instances, & rather complete oxaminetion of the patient before the request for excuse can either be confirmed or disproved, To relieve this situation,would it not be possible to institute some sort of an honor system for requesting excuse from physical conditioning elasses on the basis thet this training ie supposed to be for the benefit of the individual. I suggest e form something lilte thies "Recognizing that the physical conditioning course has been lnstituted for my benefit and to help in the war effort, I request exeuse from clase on (date) because of the following reason whieh did tot require medioal attentiog. ‘ Signed _ * Our oxperfemce is that any student requiring medical attention for iliness or injury will, es he hae. done in the past, report to the Health Service. Use of this volunteer type of exouse would eliminate the necessity of the student putting the responsi« bility for exouse from ¢lass on a physician's diagnosis rather then on his own desire to escape, what at the moment eppears to him to be en irksome duty.

Dear Dr. Canuteson: Thank you for your letter of the 17th instant. I heartily agree with it. Certainly we have enough to do to attend te our responsibilities of the physical condition- ing classes, and we do not desire to take on any of the duties of the hospital unless it would be something that the hospital should delegate to us. We are very happy in the relationship now existing. In regard to Mathias Heuerts, I asswe you we will be very glad to permit him te attend class the remainder of the semester without participating, which might endanger his health. I am telling his instructor of this arrangement. Very sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, PCA:AH Varsity Basketball Coach. | UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS HEALTH SERVICE WATKINS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL LAWRENCE, KANSAS December 17, 1942 Dr. F. C. Allen Director of Physical Education University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen, This will acknowledge your letter of December 8 relative to Mr. Nichols recommendation that the instructors in your department be permitted to excuse boys from physical conditioning classes. In my telephone conversation with Mr. Nichols relative to this matter I sugzested that the instructors have the privilege of excusing from physical conditioning classes some of the cases of minor indisposi- tions for which a student would not ordinarily need to come to the hospital nor miss another class, but which now send him to the hospital for the sole purpose of obtaining an excuse from physical conditioning classes. I still believe that all cases of illnesses of any signi- ficance and injuries should be taken care of in the hospital and I am sure that you do not want to add to your load by having the responsibility of passing on such cases. a wee ent WeD.

HEALTH SERVICE @ The Health Service is maintained to aid stu- dents in keeping well, to give instruction in mat- ter pertaining to physical and mental! welfare and to demonstrate objectively the accepted methods of caring for illness and injuries. @ It offers a general medical service for illnesses arising while the student is in the University; consultations on questions pertaining to health and the correction of remediable physical defects; control of contagion by preventive vaccinations ahd isolation of the sick; and necessary hospital care including nursing and medical attention by staff members. © Surgery is not performed by members of the Health Service staff. Students who wish to have their own physicians have the privilege of using the laboratory, x-ray, operating room and other hospital facilities. ® Specialists, such as surgeons, dermatologists, eye, ear, nose and throat specialists and dentists, and special nurses must be paid by the student. The Health Service will advise in the selection of necessary specialists but has no responsibility for the payment of fees to such specialist. ® In order to equalize the expenses of the health service for all students in the face of rising costs, the following charges are effective beginning Sep- tember 1, 1942 and must be paid when the ser- vice is rendered: $1.00 per day for every hospital day. No free days. $1.00 per film for 8x 10, 10 x 12, 14x 17 x-ray films, except the chest film taken as a part of the entrance physical examination. .25 per film for dental films. $5.00 for use of the operating room. Cost price for all drugs. (No charge for smal! pox vaccine, typhoid inoculations, diph- theria immunizations, Schick tests or tuber- culin tests.) The health fee remains at $5.00 a semester for all students regularly enrolled in the University at Lawrence. (See University catalogue) ® Especially at this time it is the responsibility of everyone to achieve and maintain the best possible state of physical efficiency. The Health Service is ready to help in every way it can. At the same time the shortage of physicians reduces the Health Service staff to a place where it will be necessary to limit dispensary calls to the es- sential ones and to eliminate all but emergency calls outside of the specified clinic hours. CLINIC HOURS Monday to Friday inclusive 8 a.m. to 12 m. and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday 8 a.m. to 12 m. only. No afternoon hours. Sunday 10 a.m. to 12 m. for emergencies only.

Avoid the use of any water that is possibly contaminated with sewage | either for drinking, swimming or washing utensils. We know that sewage can carry the virus considerable distances and for an appreciable time. 2. Avoid exhaustion from exertion or chilling, We know that overexertion and chilling during the incubation period tend to augment the oncoming disease. 3. AVoid injury to the mucous membranes of the nose and throat, such as that resulting from a tonsil operation. We know that poliomyelitis exposures in the early post-tonsillectomy period are liable to result in severe--even fatal-- infections, usually of thebulbar type. 4. Treat every minor illness as a possible case of poliomyelitis, particularly if there is fever, headache and some spasm of the neck, spine and hamstrings. We know that very mild cases of poliomy@litis without recognizable paralysis are much more numerous than paralytic cases. Suspected patients should be kept quiet in bed for several days, and until passed as well by a competent examiner. 5. Strive for proper sanitary conditions and, in particular, destroy flies and their breeding places. We know that flies can carry the causation virus of poliomyelitis, although it has not yet been proved that they can carry enough to infect human beingse 6. Avoid unnecessary physical contacts with other people, wash hands carefully before eating, and don't put unclear objects in the mouth. We know that many healthy people carry the virus in their intestines and that for some cases, perhaps most, the port of entry of the infection is the mouth. 7. Don't prescribe or take drugs or chemicals that are intended to protect against the disease. As yet we know of none that will do this." Though ‘poliomyelitis is occurring in California and Texas in much larger numbers that is usual, the tendency for this disease to increase through June, July and August and reach its peak late in September should be recognized.
