Wednesday. .

lowing criticism oi the health

mer conferred with Dr. S. I. Fuen
ning, director of the student

In a report on the student
health service Palmer, senior at

the funds from the student health
fee are required for salaries. He
added that the scope of the serv
ice was much improved since the
opening of the new temporary
infirmary. To emphasize the point
Palmer displayed a cast on his
arm which, he said, ". . . only cost
$1.25."
At the last council meeting be
fore Christmas, Palmer had
voiced criticism of the health
service. He explained that most
of these objections came to his
attention - before . the infirmary
was in service.
"The student health service,'
he said, "according to Dr. Fuen
ning, is the only university de
partment not receiving an ap
propriation from the legislature."
Palmer pointed out that intra
mural injuries were not complete
ly covered by the health program
He suggested the council con
duct a parallel investigation of
this with the Interfraternity

ment. ,
Alex Cochrane said the depart
ment was considering the sub
stitution of speedball for football
in the intramural program to re
duce the number of injuries.
