Watkins serves health needs
By SUZANNE MATHEY Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas' new student health record program is designed to prepare students for future medical treatment, according to Martin Wolmann, director of health services at Watkins Memorial Hospital.
Wollmann said the health record program which began Aug. 17 and continues through Aug. 21, consists of a three-step process.
A medical record serves as a future reference to a student's medical history and the treatments in memory of them in case of emergency. Wollmann said.
THIS PROCESS INCLUDES establishing a medical record, administering a tuberculosis test and holding a case between the two persons and a physician.
"The TB test is a painless skin test that is given as a preventive public health measure," he said.
Wollmann said that all KU students
were required to have a TB test. However, he said there was no hold on medical care if the student hadn't had the test.
"Our first responsibility is to care for the sick," he said.
BASIC SERVICES at Watkins Hospital are included in the student health fee, which is part of the tuition payment.
Some of the services included in the student health fee are: examinations; chemical, blood and bacteriological lab tests; one-hour physical therapy visits per academic year; four mental therapy visits per lifetime; and routine immunizations.
OTHER SERVICES that are available but are not covered by the fee are: X-rays, hospital rooms, hospitalization of students, lab tests that are sent to other places for evaluation and medications.
If a student is unable to pay at the time or forgets his KU ID, care and support are needed. The students are requested to at least know their KU ID number, Wollmann said.
If a student requires additional care or specialized outside service, consultations and referrals are available upon request, Wollmann sid.
Services of the Watkins pharmacy
include prescription items and a
few orthopedic devices.
*Retailers are more concerned with the turning of the dollar and buy in smaller amounts.*
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS are available to students at a cost lower than retail prices, because the drug is taken slowly and the turnover rate of medication is greater. John M. Baughman, acting director of the Watkins药店, said.
The pharmacy hours are from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
OUTPATIENT CARE at Watkins is available from 8 a.m.-11 a.m. and 2 p.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and 8 a.m.-11 a.m. Saturdays.
Services are available 24 hours a day for people requiring emergency care. There is no extra charge for emergency service.
Landlords, tenants should first read lease to resolve any possible disputes

Kingston is the only son of a mythical Kansas family from Overland Park. He is 18 years old and enrolled at the University of Kansas for the first time this year.
KINGSTON DID FIND a one-bedroom duplex at 1818 Tangled, for which he signed a one-year lease. The apartment Quasling, showed him the apartment.
In July, Kingston came to Lawrence to find an apartment to live in during the 1981-82 school year. His older sister had lived in Lawrence for several years and had warned him that locating a place to live was difficult if you waited too long. By July, the market was already tight.
In the apartment, there was moldy carpeting infested with mushrooms. Quisling promised to do something
about the carpeting, and also to repair a loose electrical wire hanging dangerously overhead in the living room.
When Kingston moved his belongings Aug. 15, he discovered 'his carpeting had been ripped out but not replaced. The electrical wire was still not fixed and half of the electrical outlets were not working.
Quisling said that he was not obliged to fix anything in the apartment unless it was written in the lease. He said that Kingston could not repair his apartment and take the cost of repairing it out of his rent because of a Kansas law. Quisling said the lease stated that no oral promises were binding.
WHEN KINGSTON threatened to move out, Quisling told him that he would first have to give him 30 days notice.
Any interpretation of a landlord-tenant dispute involves looking at the lease, which is the agreement between the landlord and the signifying the terms of the rental contract.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Unfortunately the bargain between Kingston and Quisling may not have been what the lease reflected. Kingston's preference for dry carpet, while acknowledged by his landlord, was only a preference and not made as a contingency for renting the apartment. Because of the nature of the
exchange between Kingston and Quisling, it would be difficult to later show that Kingston had even expected him to do this. He rely on him to do it prior to the tenancy.
A LANDLORD DOES have to deliver an apartment which is reasonably safe and clean, though Kingston has a legal right to demand and should get the repairs on the electric system. However, once again, the demand for these things must meet severe legal tests.
Briefly, Kingston must give written notice to the landlord to either repair within 14 days or allow the tenant to leave 30 days after the next rent-paying date. Thus, if Kingston gave Quisling the notice before Sept. 1, and Quisling had made no effort to do anything in two weeks, Kingston could move out October 1 since 30 days would have passed from the rent-paying date.
Kingston may not repair or replace anything in the apartment and deduct costs from his rent. If self-help groups are available in Kansas as a matter of law,
This is not an easy question, even with the statutes, since other theories and strategies may actually result in a faster solution. However, under the law, Kingston is bound to allow his lease to remain on the leaves—without the liability or paying rent for the remainder of his lease and losing his security deposit.
