At the same time, the Student Health Service is preparing to vacate Watkins Hospital for a new, two-story building—almost twice the size of Watkins—east of Westchester and west of southwest side. Occupancy of the new structure is scheduled for September.
MEANWHILE, the health service's heavy caseload is expected to continue throughout the summer. Last year its caseload was 103,424 outpatient visits, or an average of more than six outpatient visits per KU student.
The heavy caseload, according to Schweiger, is attributable to the large array of services offered, ranging from minor first aid and immunization to minor surgery.
Last year, the staff of 12 full-time doctors and three clinical psychiatrists aided in almost every kind of clinical health situation, including methadone treatments for area heroin addicts, a group whose never exceeded nine at any one time.
THE SERVICES at Watkins are rendered
without charge or at minimal charge to students. Free services include immunization lab work, psychiatric visits, and chest X-ray. Pharmacy and pharmacy and hospitalization. Pharmaceutical products are sold by prescription at wholesale plus cost, and hospitalization in one or two 32 beds is $15 a day—about half of what comparable private hospitalization costs.
The health service is funded by KU student fees and receives no state or federal support. Any regular student is eligible for treatment there.
The Douglas County Health Service is supported by state and federal funds and is open to any member of the public, including students.
SCHWEGLER, who is also the temporary public health officer at the county service, said that the facilities there, although limited, were used by students for services that Watkins could not offer, including contrapelives. Contraceptives are administered after a check-up to persons of 18 years of age or older.
Outbreaks of Rubella, a highly communicable form of measles, are occurring now on a number of American campuses and hospitals. These cases are recommended. A simple blood test can natural immunity to the disease and inoculation can virtually assure immunity. Both immunization and general services are available at Walking throughout the summer.
But Cash Short at County Health
By JOHN R. BENDER
Although the KU health service is independently financed, the advent of revenue-sharing is causing financial difficulties in the area of health service.
Dr. Raymond Schweiger, director of Watkins Memorial Hospital, said that there was no problem with the funding of health services at KU. University health services are financed through student fees and $17,000 a year from the Watkins Trust Fund.

'Rock Chalk' Finale, Roadblocks Recall Campus Scenes of 1970

Roadblocks and fire trucks on campus plus a gathering of several hundred people at Twelfth and Oread streets added up to an astonishing 30,000 people, ending with the weekend just past.
political process may create problems for the Douglas County Health Department. Kay Kent, the new director of the health department, said difficulties in the future in receiving funds.
Campus police began "selective enforcement" roadblocks last week as part of continuing investigations into recent assault cases, according to John M. Thomas, director of campus security and parking.
Kent said that the 1973 request of $14,358 for the Health Department had been granted. As more agencies seek a part of the revenue-sharing funds, it will be increasingly difficult to obtain the money requested for health services.
ACCORDING TO Schweigel, the contraceptive program was receiving $8,000 a year from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW). The Department is also in compliance with the Douglas County Health Department was not in compliance with HEW protocols.
Thomas said over the weekend that the selective periodic roadblocks would continue as part of his department's investigations into recent cases of rape and exhibitionism, including two incidents of indecent exposure on Saturday.
THOMAS SAID that he did not consider the recent reported cases of indecent exposure here as representing more a prevalent incidence rate than on any other college campus "whenever the weather gets nice."
Visually, some campus-watchers may have been reminded of 1983's unrest, curfews and the burning of the Union. Factually, for security police and fireman, it was simply a busy, frustrating few days; formerly the New Haven Cafe (formerly the Rock Church) on its last evening of operation, it was a time for revelry.
Thomas also said that KU rumor control

Art Staff to Get Portable Offices
Some of the portable office buildings in the center of the KU campus will be getting new tenants, according to Keith Lawton, of facilities planning and operations.

Classrooms to Be Ready In Wescoe Hall in August
By GAIL VESSELS
Classrooms in Wesco Hall will be ready to use in late August, says Keith Lawton, director of facilities planning and operations. Construction has reached the advanced stages, with the emphasis on the completion of Wesco's classrooms.
Kansan Staff Writer
Lawton said that he did not anticipate the finishing and occupying of faculty offices and the two lecture halls in Wescoe until Thanksgiving or later. While construction on these areas continues, work on certain entryways, sidewalks and corridors will be isolated sufficiently to avoid inconveniencing people using the building.
THE FOREIGN language, English and history departments will have offices in the completed Wescoe Hall, which will contain approximately 50 classrooms, ranging in a capacity from 10 to 90 students. Also included will be two large lecture rooms and two multi-purpose rooms with large seating capacities.
The University's priority to complete the classrooms is because of the ease in occupying them and the need to teach students in the proper setting, Lawton said. The faculty offices will be filled at a slower pace.
Lawton said that there was a trend toward more unprogrammed study areas in buildings such as the study lounge that will be in Wescott, in Wisconsin, and buildings that house their classrooms, and fewer students are going to the library. The schools have an area for concessions as well as for student recreation.
out! areas, Lawton said. These are areas where the student can go outside to smoke a break, but still remain in the building during recess or when under Wescoe for easy access to the buildings on the south part of campus. There will also be terraces around the building.
THE PROJECTED cost of Wescoe is $78,000. The students will pay for $15,000.
The portables are a bridge between projected and present facilities. They are to be removed from the center of the campus as monitors at the earliest possible time, Lawton said.
The portables cost from $20, 000 to $25,000 each. As the state could not finance their purchase, all portables were purchased by the Endowment Association, Lawton said. There are more than 10 portables now in use on the KU campus.

When this campus is finished with the portables, they will be put to use at University of Pennsylvania, said Lawton. The university research stations have history reservation located near the Lawrence airport and the Sunflower orchard, where the old ordance works outside of Lawrence.
The University plans to get much extended use out of the portables, according to LaTeX.
The cost of transporting the portables to the research stations cannot be estimated at this time, according to Lawton. The cost would depend on how far the portables are to be moved, what type of ground they are to be moved to and other factors.

Schweiger said that the Health Department had since resubmitted its application in compliance with these protocols, but the aid had not been granted. As a result, the Health Department is now charging those who seek contraceptives. Schweiger also agreed that the department was still receiving federal funds for its maternal child welfare program.

The funding problems in the health service area are related to the new emphasis on providing care for a new director of the Health Services Education Activities Project at Washburn University in Topka, said "People in the health care system are in a new ball game—revenue-sharing."
ZUMWALT SAID that funding sources were drying up. Categorical gifts-in aid are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Zumwalt pointed out that a major source of health service aid in Kansas, the Kansas Region Medical Program, was providing medical care by forcing health care officials to look toward revenue-sharing as a source of funds.
