service to the student is par
tially due to the unique way
we bouse our entire student
health services and program
under one roof, including
many of the athletic health
facets, mental hygene, the

"These and othef similar
facts illustrate tbe great
crisis developing today from
tbe time lag between the day
that tbe advance ia medicine
is made and the day that tbe
puMic realizes bow they can
benefit from that advance,":
Fueaaning said.
Future expansion of tbe
student health program will

and as increase in overall

has increased 9 over tbe

said. "Since ISfj tie salary

ning said, "gastric intestinal
epidemics where a whole fra

One of the most critical
phases of the student health
program is the diagnosis of
illnesses at an early stage.
"Early detection and diag
nosis not only checks the
spread of the disease," Fuen-
-
xetvp mia oepauus.
In response td the student
complaint of "being slapped
into a hospital bed" for every
minor illness, Fuenning said,
"Of all these students we
treated last year, only 1,000
cases were admitted to the
hospital. Of these, the major
ity remained for only t w s
days."
FneaniBg boasted a staff f
2t specialists as part-tbse
consultants to tbe disk, each
coming in the same time each

The final division of student

was passed last year to re
