--denies some cars admittance onto campus at Chi Omega control station
Officers Judge Excuses
By PENNY NEDROW Kansan Staff Writer
"I have to be N40, I have to be Warkin's Hospital," a young man told a traffic control officer, "to get a yellow fever shot."
The officer gave him a pass without questioning. Watkin's Hospital it seems, one of the hospitals in the area that such shots. Since they are required for some passports, they need to be escorted to University of Kansas to get them.
Two young women then pulled up to the traffic control station at 13th and Jayhawk Boulevard.
"I need to go to Watkin's," one of them said.
"Yes," the girl answered. "I had an appointment Friday but couldn't make it."
The officer on duty asked her if she was goint to receive treatment or see a doctor, which he would inform before allowing admittance.
The officer explained that no one was seen before 2 p. m. unless there were an emergency, and that it was several hours before 2 o'clock. Since the girl had to appointment she had to allow her to drive onto campus.
"But I might die," the girl protested.
The officer quickly pointed out the need for a second appointment and had himself crested a Friday appointment, that she would probably live and could take a

These are examples of the daily refusals by traffic officers. Each of the five control station officers deny entrance to as many as 25 each day during bad weather to the officer William Merrill.
Soon another girl pulled up. She

admittance, and, as a result, she was even later for a
sweat. She turned around
properly.
"But, in good weather, the average each day is only five or six refuges per station," he said.
"Enrollment is the biggest headache for traffic control officers because parents are refused admittance," Murrell said, "and they can be
"THE PARENTS ARE TURNED away bee access roads, where cars try to park in front of the buildings used for enrollment. Most station entrances are locked this time, and the one near the Omaha Omega foundation denies cars access."
The five stations were built in the garage, and need for some traffic control was obvious and after much research better this method was applied. They are all on street, 13th street and Jayhawk Boulevard, Memorial Drive and Sunflower Road, Boulevard, and West Campus Road and sunflower and Sunflower Road.
"You should have seen it before the stations were installed." Morrill said.
It was so bad, officers said students could not get from Strong Hall to Hoe Auditorium by car. The bus parked on both sides of the street.
Bus transportation has greatly helped the problem by providing students with an inexpensive way to campus without walking far.
"THE CONTROL OF traffic only makes class attendance possible for students, said J. M. Thomas, director of KT Traffic and Security, but it also helps keep the campus clean and helps keep the campus clean. It cuts down on air pollution, noise pollution, and congestion."
"The buses," Merrill said, "as well as most other businesses, appreciate our presence. They are quickly withy the traffic minimized."
Thomas said the stations operated solely for the benefit of the students, whether or not they are permitted to drive on campus are based upon medical reasons, which would enable a liable to conduct necessary business.
THE STATIONS are open from 7 a.m. to 4:58 p.m. on weekdays. They are open every day that class begins. You can start week before classes start each semester. Their hours are set ahead during the summer session.
Regarding the traffic flow, Morrill said, "most of the activity centers around Strong Hall and Fountain, which are the busiest times of the day."
short-term pass, which has the date and hour of expiration stamped on it.
In order to regulate the traffic, stations issue passes. There are four types of passes including two permanent ones and a blue and indicates in which zone a vehicle may park. The first is parking only on Jayhawk vehicles parking on Jayhawk yellow pass is issued for a specific period of time and may be extended. The two most common passes are a green one-day pass and a pink one-day pass.
IF AN OFFICER has heard an excuse that he doubted was true, he can pass that with a valid long enough for completion. He may have necessary evidence to have him on a patrol car or check with Watkins if the excuse involves it in
"Every student's identification is checked and his name and student number are recorded in a book. Don't refuse anyone access to the University; we merely use the use of his car on campus."
Common reasons for needing a car on campus that are generally acceptable are illness or need to go to the hospital for treatment. Students who have missed appointments to meet a professor or adviser, transportation of heavy or burdenome art supplies, need to be assigned initialization to the visit will be brief and need to register a car.
REASONS FOR the refuses to accept such excuses are all classmates, family members, and appointments, and cars are not allowed for them, art supplies are not provided, a friend got on campus somehow and can get off the same way, the student is taking an extra friend got on campus somehow and can get off the same way.
"If we did a favor for one student, we would open a Pandora's box," he said. "The word our purpose would be defeated."
Morrill noted that students often become ill about twenty minutes after the hour.
than expected and a car need not be present to be registered.
Morrill said, "Boreom is our own worst enemy." He works crossword puzzles and plays his computer game to busy us when the traffic is slow.
The main functions of the stations are to reduce traffic so that students can get to class in ten minutes and to limit staffing. Did Murrill, who has worked in the stations since they opened,
"We can do anything as long as we keep one eye on the traffic," he said.
"The STATIONS serve as a front door to the University," he said. "We work hard to try not to offend people by asking the questions."
Officers must keep track of the total number of cars that enter the public and public vehicles that are admitted. They push a mechanical brake as they drive as the day progresses, inside the stations, the tem-
In reply to recent criticism of the University of Kansas Medical Center's request for funds to hospitals, Dr. Charles E. Brackett, vice chancellor for health affairs, said Wednesday that the Medical Center shared its critic's concern with holding more physician for Kansas.
Inside the stations, the temperatures are usually comfortable.
KUMC Spokesman Answers Critic
The physician assistant program, he explained, was proposed to provide more efficient health care.
Bills that request funds for paramedical personnel came under fire Monday in Topkaka at a federal State Affairs Committee.
REP. LELAND SPEER, R.K.A.S.C. City, a pediatrician in the House, criticized the proposed legislation and warned that physician assistants might do more than good for the state's health care.
The need, he said, was for more fully-qualified doctors, not more assistants.

Speer questioned the emphasis on institutionalized medicine and research at the Medical Center and claimed that the Medical Department neglected its role as chief educator of new physicians for Kansas.
The Medical Center was also very much concerned about the need for more physicians, Brackett said. It has a number of programs designed to try to meet this demand now, putting into effect a new curriculum.
Increased enrollment under the new curriculum would allow the teachers to graduate graduates about 125 students a year, to graduate twice that

"DOCTORS ALREADY have assistants of various kinds," Brackett said. "These bills provide additional training for certain individuals so they can be better assisted to physicians."
The purpose of physician assistants would be to save both the physician's and the patient's
