Lyman, director of tlie Mutieiit Health department, threw some offi cial "Unlit, on the funelions of the health serv ice" in h letter received yesterday, responding to a Student I'tilse letter that appeared earlier in the week. s The Phiiiinacy fullejje dean expressed his surprise that ihe matter was not directly re ferred In the health department. "This cam pus is liol so lartfe that a Rood editor should le contused upon this point," he wrote. Confusion is not haunting the Daily Ne-lu-askan as far as student health is concerned. The Daily printed the Student, Pulse contribu tion for what it thinks is a good reason to make the student body aware of the existence f ihe Sludent Health deportment. As the offi cial student newspaper of the University, it feels that 1 lie welfare of the under-graduates is tantamount. And student health is a prime concern these days, when sore throats and little ciuMs must he vigilantly guarded against as well as possible. Tlot-and-cold weather, such s thnt we now are experiencing, is the most dangerous. The Daily recognizes the importance of the Student Health service as a campus or ganization intimately linked with the student body. Hut. unfortunately for students, they know little of the functioning. The "incoher ent" Student Pulse demonstrates this lack of. knowledge, typical of the great majority of btudents. An inescapable fact is that every Univer sity student pays H each semester for Student Health service. Fortunately for the service, t verv student does not take advantage of this. But "if each student did, the health service could never hope to serve every student who asked for medical attention. The service is op erating at present under a limited budget v hich bespeaks an insufficiency of personnel, equipment, supplies and facilities. A Fizzle? Campus leaders last April broke an age-old precedent by setting up a Men's Student Ac tivities board and point system, patterned largely after the program long used by Ne braska women. As self-styled leaders of a re form movement to clean up men 'a campus politics, they established a board. Its purpose: " ... to regulate and limit the participa tion of male students in extracurricular ac tivities so that more men may have a chance to participate and so that a few individuals are not over-burdened." i The scheme originated with activities men who. after runnine the gamut nf extra-curricular punishment, saw a need for a rcgulalory body to eliminate Ihe many evils lhat. have been attached 1o men's activities. They were sincere enough in wanting to do away with monopolies of campus positions and various conflicts between activities. They wanted to see the "spoils"' of factional wars divided among the men so that no one man hogged, knowing that loo many activities on one man's shoulders meant thnt no one could be success fully carried. But unfortunately especially for those men who succeeded last year's group there ' were too many loopholes left in the system. ' The point system is proving to be no curb on activities, because it is failing to spread campus offices among more men. All the evils of the pre-point system days continue to thrive with no official action to dispel them. An examination of the pcisoninl of the .Men's Student Act i it its hoard discloses that; every member is deeply mired jn the activity i rut. too busy to eineme and 1o assist in per-1 fecting the system. This fact may not be' wholly the fault of the designed program in, question, but it illustrates the point that the; men buried in student activities can never be the final judge in regulating the various cam-' pus functions. For a belter operation of the system, interested faculty members ami alumni i could guide the hoard and system to a more' objective understanding of the activities. ! The existing plan does little if anything at all to spread the campus offices among more men. The proportion of activities men this semester is less than a year ago. This means only one thing fewer men are hold ing campus offices. A sophomore or junior "out" fo? activities is, as usual, stopping at nothing in the race for campus honors he affiliates with every organization possible to be recognized as an activities man with as many activity points as possible. This is a far cry from what the points were originally intended to represent. They were set up as a ceiling to keep activities men from getting too far off the ground. Apparently, there is a great need for a tightening up all along the line. If the Men's Student Activities board and i1s point system are to succeed, it must be soon. The first seuiesier s dose -is not so far olf. Ivy Day's political significance swells will every campus meeting. Kevisiou. drastic ami immediate, is iu order. Dean Lyman j Enlightens To the Editor: I I have reHd the incoherent nr l tic in the Student Pulse section j of the Nehraskan of November 20, I by the student who i risking for j light on the functions of the stu dent health department, j The student health department ! has been established for twenty j years and the services it renders ! huve been very sharply defined. Perhaps there are other students ' confused like this one and so I am sending you a card which j briefly outlines the medical ser ' vice the student is entitled to. This j card is handed to every student when he registers In the univer sity. If any student wishes to know more about the student health service, he should call at i the student health office where ! every courtesy will be shown him i and evorv service will be rendered that is possible to give him. Ho ought to recognize that it is im possible for the student health de ! partment to go out on the campus ! or into the city to pick up the student that is "doctor shy" and bring him into the department to explain to him its purposes and its limitations. But if he will do his part and come to the department, we will do the best we can for him and can probably cive him more satisfactory information on the student health service than the Kditor can. I am surprised that the efficient editor of the Ne hraskan did not refer this inquiry to the health department. This campus is not so large that fl good editor should be confused upon this point. I might add that the clarity of this article might be improved by sending it to the English depart Grad Forsakes Profitable Medical Practice for Desert Readers Digest Lauds Dr. Paul W. Harrison "He is one of the world's most successful surgeons. He has prac ticed for more than 28 years, and the most he has ever asked for a nmjor operation is $15. For a cata ract operation which would bring more than n $1,000 in New York, he asks $ 1.8ft and is lucky if he gets 37 cents." This is, in short, the story of Dr. Paul W. Harrison, who graduated from the University of Nebraska with honors, 30 years ago and then entered the medical mission ary field which takes doctors to the worst places in the world, med ically, but where they are needed most, as told in this month's Read ers Kigest. Stationed in Arabia. After his graduation. Harrison was sent to Arabia. After work ing for 15 years in some of that country's most foul hell-holes, he was stationed in Muscat, AiHbia. Muscat is the hottest city in the world with temperatures up to 12.r degrees not uncommon. With its chief industry as fish drying, It Is also reputed to be the most putrid smelling city in the world. His salary is $1S5 a month and a house. He manages to run the hospital on $1,800. $!00 of which goes in salaries. He probably encounters more filth and disease than any other man in the world. A typical exam ple of his daily work can be found in the following instance. "Once on a camel trip, Dr. Har rison had to perform a rush op eration. A mat on the ground Was the operating table; a sterile towel, the instrument table. In struments were boiled in a pres sure cooker oveY a fire of camel dung. Fifty dirty Arabs crowded around to look, dust filled the air and a million flies walked thru the wound and covered Instruments the moment that they were laid down. Yet, the wound healed per fectly." Miracle Man. And so it goes on, day after day, with Arabs looking upon. Har rison as a miracle min without knowing how truly right they are. Harrison performs from 20 to 25 operations n week and in his spare time manages to treat some 125 patients every day. These opera tions of every kind, have provided the background for many methods of kinds of operation unknown to western doctors. Ho is considered one of the world's leading authori ties on spinal nnthesia. It's intriguing, this story of an adventurous Nebraska graduate who chose to practice in a pest hole in Arabia and became one of the worlds leading surgeons.

In the midst of the modernized program which Hitler is conduct in Germany, Col. Charles A. Lind bergh has decided to establish a Berlin winter residence. It is reported that the colonel has had difficulty in finding a suit able apartment, due to crowded conditions. The housing shortage in Berlin seems acute. We trust that the gentleman who left America for a "safer" and happier milieu will make satis factory adjustments of his housing difficulties. Any inconvenience to an American national hero would be regiettable. Tf anybody in Ber lin is to be well housed and well- fed, it should be Colonel i.in.i' bergh. Sonic hope for the success tit Lindbergh's momentous quest liea in the internal disturbances in the nazi state. The Jews nf Berlin are being ejected from the busine and cultural life of the city. Ami according to press reports', thou sands of them are leaving the apartments which they previouslv occupied. Therein lies Col. Charles A Lindbergh's hope. If he can get into one of those empty apart ments while the Jews are out be ing shot, everything will be all right. Then he can rest this winter and scholarly examine German ef ficiency methods. Some one Jew of the thousands now being forced from school and job will be mighty happy when he finds that Colonel Lindbergh is occupying his former home Daily Californian. WANT A STEADY FELLA?
