THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Smaller Enrollment, Wartime Costs, Cause Hike in Health Fee
Saturday students finished paying their fees, including a $7.50 health fee. This assessment, designed to provide for the partial expenses of students requiring medical care, is based on much the same principle as an insurance premium.
Under the present plan, each student may obtain medical services without cost whenever he requires them. As in the case of an insurance policy, the student who doesn't take advantage of these services helps to make them available to those who need them. In order to equalize expenses, however, the ill student must pay for his own medicine and hospitalization.
After he has paid his $7.50 health fee, each student is entitled to a free physical examination when he enters the University and at any other time during the school term. Clinical services and minor surgical treatments are available without cost, also.
Each student must pay for any medicine or hospitalization he requires. He pays only the actual cost of the supplies and X-ray films he uses. Although a student is charged one dollar for each day he is in the hospital, the actual cost of keeping a patient amounts to $5.40 a day.
Formerly the health fee was several dollars less than it is now. Increased costs of medical supplies and food, the recent state law increasing the wages of civil service employees at the hospital, the necessity of maintaining a staff at all times sufficient to care for the maximum number of patients, and decreased civilian enrollment have made a larger fee necessary.
The endowment fund given by Mrs. J. B. Watkins provides for replacements, repairs, and maintenance costs but cannot be used for operating expenses.
Contrary to rumors, health fees paid by civilian students do not provide for the medical care of servicemen stationed on the campus. The Army pays $3.50 a month for each man in the ASTP, and the Navy
Rock Chalk Talk

The spiders to the flies: Last night, at the close of the first day of Alpha Delta Pi hell week, pledges were ahead by a wide margin—any way you go about figuring the score.
During active meeting the freshmen took the clothes of their elders and assisted by medics, carried them over to the Phi Bete house. After meeting the actives found out what had happened and hurried over for their possessions.
Which, of course, was exactly the way the trap had been planned. The men of medicine seized the girls as they entered the house and put them over a table in the living room. The medics also furnished paddles for the freshmen, who proceeded to go og wild on swatting.

Two tons of bituminous for Newcastle: Alpha Chi's have been living for the day of Doris Dixon's initiation when she would no longer be confined to wearing her Beta pin (from a Westminster, Mo. Beta) at night on a pair of red sleepers. With an active badge of her own, the Beta pin would come to light, her sisters figured—and they could recover from the nightly shock of seeing such consecrated jewelry on such an unorthodox costume.
The night after infiltration, everyone breathed a sigh of relief—only to be confronted the next minute by
Honor Initiate Dixon in her red sleepers. The Beta pin was in its customary spot, Alpha Chi lyre just above on the red flannel.

The esthetic side of life: And then there is the case of Dick Battchelor, Battenfeld, who went to Kansas City to visit the art institute. On his way through the city, Dick became lost a number of times. Each time, it took him well over an hour to get his bearings. And each time, he happened upon someone who knew just what to do for people who were discouraged about getting lost.
Finally arriving at the institute, Dick spent perhaps the most wonderful moments of his life drinking in the beauty's of art—and he was warned only three times to muffle his hiccups.

E for Effort: Having exhausted her supply of card tricks, jokes, and riddles, Helen Gardner, monotone, was finally reduced to singing and playing the piano to keep happy the portion of the fleet allotted to her at Theta open house. Helen gave several popular song hits all she could with the hunt and peck system, and was about ready to make a dash for the nearest exit, when she realized she was surrounded. The entire fleet had moved in and was having a wonderful time listening to her little concert.

Have a Coca-Cola = Meet a new friend
... or how to relax on leave
What more friendly way to welcome a soldier to a family gathering than the hearty invitation Have a "Coke". It's like saying, We're happy you're here. So be sure you have Coca-Cola in your ice-box at home. From "down under" to back in the U. S. A., Coca-Cola stands for the pause that refreshes—has become the symbol of friendly folks the world over.
