The health department has one physician half time; the Student Health Service in Watkins employs a full time gynecologist and two doctors who dispense birth control devices.

The exam consists of a physical examination, a pelvic examination, a Pap smear, a culture for gonorrhea, a culture for pressure check and a blood test for syphilis.
Until Aug. 1 the health department had
The winners of the 1973 distinguished teaching awards are: Peter J. Casagrande, associate professor of English; Barbara N. Craig, professor of French and Italian; Eileen G. McCarthy, professor of business; and Albert J. Rowell, professor of geology and systematics and ecology.
4 Professors Win Teaching Awards
The winners were chosen by an anonymous committee, comprising both professors and students, from nominations submitted by faculty members, students and campus organizations and voted on by a random sample of students.
Casgrande was named to receive the H. Bernerd Fink Award, funds for which were donated by Fink, a Topека businessman and 1931 Kuumus. The three other awards are financed by the Standard Oil Company. Each award carries a $1,000 stipend.
Laasgrange, who joined the KU faculty in 1967, is an associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, director of Norsun's College of Science Institute and co-director of the Honors Program.

not required these tests, though they were recommended. In 1972 8,529 visits were made to the department's clinic for birth control.

at Watkins, but probably not the Pap smear, Schweiger said.
Blue Cross insurance will pay for the pills
He said that Watkins kept no figures on the number of birth control patients, but one indication of the rise in the number of students using the pill is that the number of Pap smears performed by Watkins more than doubled last year to 1.438.
A Pap smear is a culture to test for cancer of the cervix. It is recommended annually for all sexually active women, according to Schwegel.
He said that the Student Health Service would try to perform all the tests now available.
