PAGE SIX UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1949 Patience The Editorial Page Only 80 Will Be Admitted When registration lines start forming next fall only 80 lucky students will be permitted to register for the freshman class of the School of Medicine according to O. O. Stoland, professor of physiology. When all the applications are in from hopeful men and women all over the state, they will probably total 200. This means that 120 of these applicants are going to have to turn elsewhere for their pre-medical education. Besides the heartache and frustration these denials of admission will cause, there is an acute shortage of physicians in the state that must be considered. There are large areas of Kansas where no doctor can be found within any reasonable radius. Those physicians who are available are so busy taking care of their old patients that they have little time for the new babies who are being born and the new families who are moving into their communities. Eighty new doctors, no matter how young and eager, are hardly adequate to fill the gap each year. Problem of Funds and Facilities The whole problem is one of funds and facilities. The University does not have the facilities to take care of more than 80 students in each new class. The only way that new facilities can be obtained is for the state legislature to provide them. In view of the need for physicians in this state, this is a situation to which the legislators in Topeka might turn their attentions in the interests of all Kansans. However, even if facilities were enlarged and more students were provided for, there is no assurance that the graduates will ever practice in Kansas. All graduates accepted by the School of Medicine must be residents of Kansas. Selections are made on the basis of the quality of the applicants' grades. After the student has been admitted to the University and has been graduated, he is, of course, free to practice wherever he chooses. Student Subsidies One way to assure that the graduate practices in the state from whose university he receives his diploma is to subsidize his education. The subsidy is given the student with the understanding that he practice in the state a certain number of years after hanging up his shingle.

Our Tourist Camps Are Big Business "Tourist Courts and Cabin Camps in Kansas," by Stillman P. Vincent, is 23rd in the Kansas studies in business series to be published. The booklet includes information about the influence of traffic flows on tourist trade, court layouts and equipment, and financing. Kraasas has 144 courts with a total of 1,557 rental units which took in $360,000 in 1940, the study shows. All but 12 of the 105 counties have licensed courts or cabin camps with Wichita, Topeka, and Garden City named as leading tourist court centers. The deputation committee, headed by Robert Cheskey, College sophomore, held evening services at the Evangelical church of the Rev. William Sireb in Stull. In observance of George Washington's birthday Sunday the Y. M. C. A. sent two committees to hold special religious services in nearby towns. YM Gives Special Religious Services Commenting on business trends, Mr. Vincent said "More money may be invested to construct tourist courts than hotels in a few years. More motels may mean fewer hotels or great shifts in operating policy. The worship committee, under Albert V. Grimes, education junior, conducted worship services for patients in Winter General hospital in Topeka. The first U.S. eight hour labor law enacted was in 1892, when congress provided for it on all District of Columbia publits works. Labor day in the United States was first celebrated by the Knights of Labor in 1882. It was made a legal holiday by congress in 1894. students who could not otherwise afford an expensive medical degree a chance to fulfill their ambitions. It is also a guarantee to the state that its fledgling physicians will stick around for a while and relieve the shortage of doctors in its farm communities and cities. A prescription compounded of similar ingredients might be filled to help remedy one of Kansas' ills.
