Chorus and Orchestra
Names of the stage chorus and
orchestra personnel for the School
of Fine Arts production this week
end of the opera "Carmen" have
been announced. Sixteen members
of University Singers, mixed chor
al group, will be on stage in cos
tume, while the remainder of the
120-voice Singers will sing from
boxes at either side of the orches
tra pit, as in past years.
From the ranks of the 75-piece
University symphony orchestra,
director Emanuel Wishnow has
selected 27 musicians to compose
the opera orchestra.Although the
size of the orchestra is limited by
the size of the orchestra pit, full
instrumentation will be used.
Wishnow rehearses the orchestra
for the Febr. 5, 6, and 7 produc
tion, but Dr. Arthur Westbrook,
Director of the School of Fine
Arts, will conduct the entire en
semble in performance.

and from Union and School of
Music offices.
Included in the stage chorus are
barracks wnicn is located norm 01
Teachers College on the mall, the
Health Center shares quarters
with a temporary hospital of 26
beds.
"If a man is in poor health
after he graduates, he is no asset
either to his community or to his
profession," declared Dr. Samuel
I. Fuenning, director, as he out
lined the Health Center's program
of preventive medicine.
TB Survey Important.
Most important phase of this
program thus far, Dr. Fuenning
stated, is the TB survey which not
only brings to light lesions due to
tuberculosis, but also heart, lung
and spinal conditions not readily
apparent.
Dr. Fuenning emphasized that
the present location and facilities
of the center are temporary, and
that a permanent and more com
pletely equipped structure is ten
tatively planned.
The number of students who
have visited the health center
since its transfer to new head
quarters has doubled or trebled,
the director reported, and the
present staff Ijas been kept busy
handling the increased group. It
is expected that the staff will soon
be supplemented with additional
members.
Plan Medical Counselor.
One of Dr. Fuenning's most
striking plans for the future is
that of Medical Counselor, a
trained M. D. who will assist stu
dents in preserving or developing
better physical and mental health
while they are on the university
campus. The counselor will be a
qualified psychiatrist as well, to
enable him to deal expertly with
all types of student health prob
lems. Cost of most of the advantages
now available to students is cov
ered by registration fees and in
cludes five major types of health
service:
1. General Medical Service
2. Laboratory Service
3. Pharmaceutical Dispensary
4. Hospitalization
5. Dental Examinations
Voluntary Prog-ram.
The entire health program, with
the exception of physical entrance
examinations, is voluntary.
Eight full and three part time
nurses, a part time dietician, two
cooks, an X-ray technician, a lab
oratory technician and two order
lies compose the staff of the
Health Center. Staff and consult
ing physicians are all Lincoln doc
tors who serve part time.
