counsel to provide leadership for

tried to avoid- an urban sight, so
they went to Aspen, Colorado, lo

from Canada, the Philippines, Eu
rope, Africa and the East, thous
ands came to study Goethe.

NU Hospital
Aids Lancaster
CouiityPatients
Lancaster county residents are
receiving more than $1,000 worth
of care per month at the Univer
sity hospital in Omaha, a study
of the institution's books has re
vealed. During the past 10 months, 74
people from this county received
care costing more than $12,000
at the University hospital. During
the three previous years, a total
of 189 Lancaster county residents
were cared for at the hospital
at a total cost of a little over
$69,000.
Since all but a very few of
the patients accepted by the hos
pital are unable to pay anything
for the care they receive, their
bills are paid from University
funds.
It cost the University $555,966
to operate the hospital during the
1948-'49 fiscal year. During -that
period, patients were received
from all but four of Nebraska's
93 counties. The patients were able
to return a total of only $25,000
toward the cost of hospital and
medical services.
Dr. Harold C. Lueth, dean of
the College of Medicine, said the
financial burden, made heavier by
increasing hospital operating costs
has forced the closing of about
25 beds at the 200-"bed institu
tion. The shortage of nurses also
was a factor in the decision he
added.
Only those patients whose cases
can be fitted into the College of
Medicine's teaching program are
accepted by the hospital. When
the patients are dismissed, a com
nlete reoort on the medical treat
ment they received at the hos
pital is forwarded to their local
physicians for possible use in iur
ther treatment.
