The semester of coursework that has been given at the Medical Center will be offered through the occupational therapy department on the Lawrence campus, Miller said.
All classwork for the B.S. degree in occupational therapy will be consolidated on the Lawrence campus starting next fall, said Leland D. Miller, chairman of the department of occupational therapy.
Consideration of the addition of a wing to the present building was still being made depending on the cost of the possible hospital building, he said. Schwegler estimated that the cost of such a structure would be $2 to $2.5 million. He said no new definite developments in a new hospital plan had been made.

Preston Love got his B.S. in Economics in 1966, then trained at IBM.
Preston Love's idea for the Iowa State Department of Public Instruction is a good example of how IBM marketing representatives work. He calls on key Iowa commissioners daily and is often asked how data processing can solve a problem. He studies the problem in depth and comes up with a solution.
Showing what isn't there
"One day they asked me how to show grade and high school kids what computers can do," says Preston. "Without spending the money for installing a computer."
His solution: use remote terminals
hooked up by telephone cable to a time-sharing computer in Chicago. (Time-sharing means that many terminals can use the computer at once.)
Letting kids run the world
"To make the children's work lively," says Preston, "I suggested they play simulation games with the computer.
"To play one, for instance, the children break up into groups. Each group governs a country." And the computer gives them problems to solve, like depressions, wars, bumper crops.
"It's a fascinating way to learn about computers," says Preston. "And typical of the kind of problems I solve in my job."
