Emergency Unit Set at Oliver
An emergency hospital has been installed in the basement of Oliver Hall as part of the Civil Defense program, Dr. R. A. Schwegler announced Tuesday.
The hospital is part of a nationwide plan to install emergency medical centers in smaller towns, Schwegler explained. The project was started two years ago at the suggestion of Topeka public health officials.
Most of the hospitals are designed to accommodate 200-300 people. The hospital in Oliver has about 300 beds. The purpose of the emergency hospital is to act in case a disaster destroys the larger centers.
Schweegler said that the hospital in Lawrence would be available in the event of a cyclone or any other natural disaster.
'Tutor Match' Lack Students To Be Tutored
A lack of people desiring tutoring—this is the problem facing Tutor Match, according to Mickey Schramek, Prairie Village junior and program chairman.
Tutor Match, a KU-Y program, attempts to find people willing to tutor any people needing such help and bring them together. Tutors in the program are honor roll students from the past semester who have volunteered to tutor in various fields.
Individuals receiving tutoring pay a $5 fee to help pay the program's administrative costs. These fees also serve as part of the financial resources for KU-Y. The tutors receive no payment.
Miss Schramek pointed out that this tutoring is generally less expensive than that done by departmental tutors as most of those persons are paid on the basis of each session.
At present the program has about 100 tutors offering help in many different fields. More tutors could be used in chemistry, physics and mathematics, Miss Schramek said.
About 30 people had requested tutors, she said, and any individuals wanting help should contact the KU-Y office, 110B Kansas Union.
The emergency unit in Lawrence is financed completely by the federal government and is administered by the civil Defense authorities with the help of the staffs at the Watkins Memorial Hospital and the Lawrence Memorial Hospital. The University Health Service is not directly involved with the project because it is already understaffed and would not be able to contribute any of its personnel in an emergency situation, Schwegler said.
Dr. W. L. Anderson, a physician at Watkins hospital, explained that the staff of the emergency hospital would have to be made up of volunteers such as nurses who are now housewives and men with experience as army medics.
The emergency hospital staff is a complete package. Schwegler said, "It could start up in the middle of the desert and run for 30 days." Any perishable drugs are rotated with the supplies used at Watkins.
Schweegler said he believed that anything short of a catastrophe could be handled by the hospital service currently available in Lawrence. He pointed out that the two hospitals have a capacity of more than 200 beds and extensive lobby and corridor space.
As a result of last weekend's apartment fire the Health Service is now working with Mike Thomas, director of KU traffic and security, to organize a fire emergency section of the disaster program already in existence at Watkins.
The committee concerned with campus disasters is headed by Dr. B. W. Walters of Watkins and is not connected to the service in Oliver. It addresses itself only to the handling of any sort of disaster which may occur on campus.
