Study Hospital Rumors
The Student Health Committee is continuing its drive to build a better relationship between KU students and Watkins Hospital.
"The reason for this study is to clear up misconceptions some students have about the hospital and its staff." Tom Fisher, Kansas City senior and head of the Student Health Committee, said.
"These misconceptions start from rumors that circulate over the campus. One of the false ideas students
Six members of the KU-Y Model United Nations are attending the University of Oklahoma Model U. N. this weekend in Norman.
KU has sent two delegations, Polish and Malaysian, to the event, which begins today and will run through Saturday.
UN Team Goes To OU Session
JOHN A. SHARP, Macon, Ga.
junior; Tom Ward, Concordia senior,
and Charles Colver, Durham, N. C.
junior, are members of the Malaysian delegation.
Members of the Polish delegation are Dave Hutchins, Kansas City, Mo., junior; Dick White, Wakefield, Mass., junior, and Diane Olson, Shawnee Mission senior.
A highlight of the meetings will be a speech by John M. Cates, Latin American advisor to the United States mission to the U. N. The Latin American states' role in the U. N. will be the topic of his talk.
Sharp said the Malaysian delegation will be submitting a bill on Indonesian aggression and violation of the U. N. charter, because of guerrilla actions against Malaysia. The delegation has suggested "Indonesia's membership be suspended and U. N. members furnish whatever aid and assistance is necessary to protect the peoples and territories of the Federation of Malaysia from Indonesian aggression," he continued.
"WE FEEL what we will learn about the operation of the U, N. at Oklahoma will be of benefit both to our personal knowledge of world affairs and to the KU-Y Model U. N." Sharp said. "We hope to be able to exchange ideas with students from other universities interested in constructively examining the faults and the virtues of the U, N."
Other delegations will attend from Texas, Nebraska and Utah State universities. Also at the sessions will be delegates from several smaller midwestern universities.

have is the rooms are not clean. This couldn't be true because Watkins Hospital has a record for lack of infection due to unclean room."
"Another rumor among students is that only poor doctors come to Watkins. Fisher said there are two principal reasons why doctors work at Watkins.
One is that the bulk of the patients at Watkins are students. They are all in the same age group. This gives doctors a chance to specialize in the students' problems, Fisher said.
Also, several of the doctors have previously practiced as private physicians. Their work at Watkins gives them a chance to see what other doctors are doing, Fisher said.
He said students get three outstanding advantages from the staff at Watkins. They are given specialized service, all the doctors may be easily called in for difficult cases and all doctors have access to student medical records. This prevents quackery, Fisher said.
The members of the Student Health Committee talk to the hospital administration about student complaints. Then the committee explains the services to students.
KU Prof Writes About Managers
The Kansas State Chamber of Commerce has distributed to its members reprints of "The Case for a County Manager" written by a KU professor.
Dr. Francis W. Heller, now professor of political science and associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, prepared the discussion for the December 1953 issue of "Your Government," monthly bulletin of the KU Governmental Research Center.
Dr. Heller noted that "the structure of county government in Kansas is most notable for its lack of any focal point for administrative responsibility," and that county commissioners, the nominal governing body, have few controls of the other officials.

PUNCHED TAPE IS TOO SLOW FOR US
Punched tape used to be considered "speedy"and fast enough to collect and store business data sent over communications lines.
No more. Because a new "duobinary coding system" developed by our subsidiary, Lenkurt Electric, doubles the rate (or halves the time) at which data
can be transmitted . . up to 2400 "bits" per second. So fast that magnetic computer tape must be used to keep pace with the new system.
Progress in data transmission is but one of many advances that GT&E has contributed to the fields of communications, electronics, automation, lighting
and national defense. It serves to explain why GT&E is one of America's foremost companies in terms of dollar sales, revenues, and diversity of products.
As a young, aggressive company with no limit to its growth, GT & E is an enterprise you may wish to think of in terms of your own future.
