Watkins Hospital May Get Addition
Approval of a $250,000 Watkins Memorial hospital addition is now being considered by the State Board of Health in Topeka. The first part of a four part application has already been approved.
The funds, if appropriated, would be part of a federal assistance to hospitals program throughout the country through the Hills-Burton act. The University would be responsible for 60 per cent and the United States Public Health service for 40 per cent of the cost. The state board is working in conjunction with the federal board.
Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the University Health service, pointed out that "the main objective of the addition is not to increase the number of services, but to improve services we now have, and to treat patients with less delay."
One new clinical psychologist and two psychiatrists will be added to the staff of the hospital in September. If the addition is completed, more space will be allowed for this service.
A special diet dining room will be included in the addition. Dr. Canutelson said 18 to 20 students on special diet eat at the hospital all the time. At present, they must eat in a small diet kitchen on the third floor.
The physical therapy department would be given more space in the addition. Classroom space would be increased, and this space could be used for emergency bed rooms, Dr. Canuteson said.
Eleven additional patient bed rooms are included in the tentative
plans. These rooms would have a normal capacity of 19 beds, with room for extra beds in case of emergency.
Office space would be more than doubled by the new addition. Dr. Cauteson said the present files on students must be kept in the basement. By use of additional space provided by the addition, the entire present office space could be devoted to files.
Another window for admittance of students is included in the plans, and additional seating space plus a reading table, would be provided for waiting patients.
An eye specialist will be added in the program is authorized. A special dark room will be built, for use in depth perception tests and distance tests. At present, Dr. Canuteson pointed out, Watkins Memorial hospital has no extensive eye service.
A dental room will be used basically for preventive dentistry. Both the eye service and the dental service will probably be run one-half day daily, Dr. Canuteson said.
A sound proof room for hearing tests will be added. At present, hearing tests are given in a clinic room which is needed for examinations.
Additional clinic space is the immediate need in the hospital. Dr. Canuteson said that in the past year the average daily clinic census was 203 patients in a space intended to accommodate half that number.
The new addition, if present plans are adopted, will extend 57 feet to the rear of the present building. The
addition, which will be six floors will contain 173.00 cubic feet.
Dr. Canuteson pointed out that "we are dealing with an impressionable student group, many will be teachers and all will be active in their communities. The standards of medicine we demonstrate here will in many cases be the standard of medical care they will expect in their community."
Hastings, Neb.—(U.P.) Robert Gray, professor of business administration at Hastings college, believes there are more important things than just text books and classroom work in preparation for a career. Gray insists that his students wear suits and ties for all Friday classes so they will know how to act like executives when they get out of school.
Fifty students in a historical geology class under the supervision of Dr. Cecil G. Lalicker professor of geology will leave Friday, May 5, on a three day field trip to the St. Francis mountains in southeastern Missouri. Both groups of students will travel by chartered bus.

The convention date has not been set definitely, but it will probably be held during spring vacation to facilitate housing, Krimminger said.

The picture drawn on the wall of world cultures by the advent of atomic energy will be the subject of the tenth and concluding lecture tonight of the Sigma Xi "Atomic Energy and Man" series.
Dr. Carlyle S. Smith, assistant professor of sociology and anthropology will be the speaker. The lecture, open to the public without charge, will start at 7:30 p.m. in Strong auditorium.
He will explain how developments in atomic energy promise changes for our civilization as great as those brought about in previous epochs by the introduction of fire and the industrial revolution.
Extending the invitation of the University for the 1950 meeting were eight representatives of the local group who attended the National Independent Student association convention in Bloomington, Ind., recently. The University was the unanimous choice of the 410 delegates from more than 50 schools.
The University will be host for the 1951 National Independent Student association convention, Dick Krimminger, president of I.S.A. announced.
