Program
Initiated
New Clinic Opens
In Building "D"
First step in the inauguration
of the university's new health
program has been taken through
the opening of the new Student
Health Center located in tem
porary building "D", north of
Teacher's College.
Modern clinic features include
a diagnostic dispensary, X-ray
services, and an infirmary. Date
for opening the informary, to
handle ambulatory cases only, is
tentatively set for Jan 5."
Dr. Samuel I. Fuenning, clinic
director, stressed to a Daily Ne
braskan reporter that the center
is still in its primary stages and is
by no means complete. The main
idea is to provide dispensary care
for all students.
6.000 Treaied
With 6,000 students treated
since the beginning of the year,
student health to date has aver
aged over 100 students daily.
However,, with the future enlarg
ing of facilities, the staff will soon
be able to handle a larger num
ber of students.
"Many students," explained Dr.
Fuenning, "have asked what is
covered by the medical fee in
cluded in tuition. The fee covers
a complete physical examination
once a year, and dispensary care
including the services of our staff
specialists. X-ray services, spe
cialized laboratory procedures,
drugs and special treatments are
the only items for which charge
is made. The major share of hos
pital and doctor's fees are covered
by the Student Health Service."
Dr. Fuenning added that there
is no limit as. to the number of
visits a student may have to the
clinic. All calls are covered by the
Student Health fee.
Staff
The clinic staff is composed of
six staff physicians, four consult
ants, six full time nurses, two
part time nurses, an X-ray and
a laboratory technician.
Only a small minority of cases
that come cannot be handled, be
cause all but serious diseases and
injuries are treated by the staff.
There will be 24 hour emergency
service, when the infirmary is
completed, instead of the present
hours of 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. on
weekdays and 8 a. m. to 12 noon
on Saturdays.
Serious injuries resulting from
intra-mural competition cannot
be treated, Dr. Fuenning said. Due
to the increasing number of such
ailments there had been consider
able misunderstanding as to
whether Student Health covered
those mishaps.
For the purpose of further ex
plaining student health to the stu
dent body, a special student health
convocation for the entire student
body is scheduled soon. Dr. Har
old S. Diehl, dean of the Univer
sity of Minnesota medical college
and former student health direc
tor at that school, will be princi
pal speaker.

WITH PORTABLE RADIO, POTTED STRAW FLOWERS and
all, graduate student Phyllis Warren glances up from her reading
in one of Love Library's 89 "carrells," designed for use of gradu
ate students and professors. With ready access to the stacks, the
modern study cubicles incorporate latest improvements of ad
justable desks and book shelves, special ventilation, and fluores
cent lighting soon to be installed. A '47 graduate with distinction
from business administration college, Miss Warren is president of
Beta Gamma Sigma, and has an assistantship in educational psy

Like university libraries
throughout the country, Love
Memorial Library has especially-
designed study rooms for the use
of graduate students and faculty
members who are writing theses
or doing research. Called car
rells" (pronounced like Christ
mas carols) the 89 rooms are lo
cated across the entire south ele
vation of the library.
The carrells boast unusual fea
tures that are considerably more
modern than those found in most
large university libraries, accord
ing to Ralph Farley, assistant li
brary director. The cubicles are
of all-metal partition construe
tion, with individually adjustable
radiators, special ventilating sys
terns, and venetian-blinded win
dows. Linoleum-topped desks and
book shelves are hung so that
their height can be adjusted to
the desires of the individual.
Comfortable arm chairs, desk
lamps soon to be replaces by
fluorescent lighting and lockable
desk drawers are additional fea
tures in the carrells.
Carrell users have complete
freedom of the book stacks, in
eluding use of the stack elevator
which is otherwise reserved for
library staff use only. They find
the books they wish to use, check
them out to their own carrell
number, and keep them as long
as they are using the books
sometimes most of a semester.
If other students call for these
books, the library staff takes them
from the carrell for two hour
periods, leaving a note for the
carrell owner, who may want
them during that time.
Students apply for carrells at
the beginning of each semester.
"Demand greatly exceeds the
supply," says Mr. Farley, "so ap
plicants are chosen on basis of
need." In some cases two are as
signed to a carrell. Whenever pos
sible, room assignments are made
on the stack level where most of
the books to be used are located
English on second, sociology on
third, etc. This arrangement may
be changed though, because as
Mr. Farley points out, "When
good friends from the same de
partment are near each other,
they cause disturbances to the
others by talking shop, instead of
studying!"
A THOUGHT
By BEVERLY SIEVERS
The composer of the popular
song "If I Had My Life to Live
Over" is an unusually fortunate
person for he goes on to say that
if he did have the chance he
would do all the same things
again.
I wonder how many other peo
ple could sincerely echo that
statement? I would wager that
there are but a few who do not
have several acts in their past
experience which they would al
ter if given the opportunity to
do so.
Perhaps it is merely a course
which you felt is wasted time, it
might be a phrase said to a friend
which hurt him and your rela
tionship with him, or it is an al
legiance to which you cling, want
ing to be free but not quite know
ing how to achieve that goal.
Our mechanical world has be
come such a rapidly moving
sphere that everyone is striving
to make Ms emotional life keep
up with it. Perhaps the solution
to the problem is rooted in the
practicing of patience.
If you had taken more time to
decide on teachers and a class
schedule, your time could have
been spent more profitably; "if
you had paused a moment to
think about the reaction your
statement could arouse, perhaps
you would never have made it or
if you had looked into all the pos
sibilities of identifying yourself
with a certain group you would
not now be looking for a way out.
Each of us has lived from 16 to
60 years of our life and supposed
ly used, to their greatest value,
the God-given talents intrusted
to us. Certainly our lives were
not meant to be full of constant
regret and if patient reflection
can prevent hasty decisions it
would be worth while to each of
us to pause and evaluate our
goals, for in so doing we are pav
ing the next 16 or 60 years of our
life and at their end we want to
truly say "if I had my life to
live over I'd do all the same
things again."
STRING ENSEMBLE
(Continued from Page 4)
nine monumental symphonies.
There must be a reason why the
great masters throughout musical
history including today . have
kept this idea of chamber music."
Anyone who has played in such
a group knows the answer, he
says,: "but we suspect ..that the
public doesn't." If a group such
as his had the time to prepare ;k
concert series of chamber music,
however, he feels certain that it
would "sell" to music-buying au
diences in this part of the country
as it does in metropolitan centers.

One look and you'd say that a great deal of
work lies ahead before this new telephone
central office is completed. That's true. But
already, much of the job is done!
For months telephone men have been
hard at work in offices and in the field.
One group has carefully studied business and
population trends and has forecast the tele
phone needs of the community for years to
Another has determined the amount
and types of equipment that will best meet
these needs. Still others have found ways to
make this new equipment a part of our
world-wide communications network.
At our Western Electric plants the tele
phone equipment the switchboards, frames
and switching mechanisms, the cable, wire
and relays has been scheduled and is al
ready being manufactured.
All this ard more before the ground was
broken!
The telephone business is a constantly ex
panding business in which thousands of
college men are finding interesting and re
warding careers.There's a future in telephony.
