I J i ll J I treatment will not be increased, Dean Lyman explained, stating at the same time that surplus charges will be born by the pres ent health fund. The new program will give students the use of all facilities open to regular patients at the hospital. The whole plan has been made possible by the vast building in crease in the hospital last year. A new wing for housing patients with contagious diseases was built on Lincoln General, making it pos sible for the management to con tract for the housing of university students. "The upkeep of a regular stu dent infirmary is very expensive on a camnus like this one." de clared Dean Lyman, when he was questioned regarding the new project. "This is true because a staff has to be keDt un recularlv thruout the year, whether there are any students in need of its service or not. There are times when such a student infirmarv is completely empty and times when ii is overcrowded. The latter Is to the disadvantage of the stu dents and will be done away with thru the extensive facilities at the hospital, which has a regular paid staff and which does not experi ence the difficulties we do." Surgery not included. Lyman further explained that students needing any surgical treatment will have to pay the usual hospital costs, as surgery is not included in the program of the health service. "The University of Kansas and Kansas State, just like many other universities, prob ably give their students more hos pitalization facilities than we are able to give on this campus," he declared, "but one has to take into account that these universities (See HOSPITAL, on page 2.)

An inquiry as to why she was not surprised upon seeing such a view led to the quite obvious answer that she had read so much about it, she anticipated all she saw. Miss Fuld arrived from New York City Tuesday morning to set up residence as a guest of Sigma Delta Tau, after spend- ' ing two years time equally di vided between Newaik and New York. While there she attended high school, primarily to learn the English language and -customs, before deciding to enroll at Nebraska. Born in Berlin.
