Health Assistants Connect

By Steve Jordon
Junior Staff Writer
A Health Assistants Pro
gram has been started this
year to help fraternities and
sororities in the treatment of
minor illnesses and to give
effective two-way communica
tion with the University
Health Center.
The Droeram is a formaliz-!
ed version of the health chair
man system.
"The assistants consider it
a position, hot an activity,"
said Dr. Samuel Fuenning,
University Health Director.
The assistants are paid $1.10
per hour to provide services
to the Health Center and their
house.
Each health assistant is now
undergoing orientation and
training sessions.
Each assistant will receive
a first aid kit and cold tab
lets and will be instructed In
the treatment of colds and
respiratory illnesses, partici
pate in a bi-monthly confer
ence at the Center and will be
a part of a First Aid Corps
which will be mobilized in the
event of a major disaster on
campus.
The treatment is essential
ly the same as would be giv
en in the home, Fuenning
said.
The assistant will fill out
forms concerning colds and
accidents and turn in a report
on his activities. The reports
will be used in the final eval
uation of the system at the
end of each semester.
The assistant will also act
In a public relations capacity,
recommending changes or re
laying criticisms to the Health
Center and Informing students
In his house about available
medical services.

es more responsible and more
cooperative," Fuenning said.
The program has its origins
in the 1959 Asian flu epidem
ic, which brought a system of
house mother - student teams
to care for mild flu cases.
'The program was very
helpful in reducing the bur-
oen 01 cases coming in to us,
Fuenning said.
Later a "cold clinic" was
set up in the Health Center
to process large numbers of
students.
The Center also conducts a
Health Safety Program, which
gives each house an inspec
tion twice a year.
"The assistant is responsi
ble to see that environmental
health hazards are minimiz
ed." Fuenning said. Assist
ants accompany Edward Simp

Environmental Health and
Safety, on the evaulation tour
in the house.

The more fires Abel Hall
has. the hotter they stu
dents, administration, resi
dence directors, campus po
lice, fire department get.
A fire Sunday night at
Abel Hall was the third
alarm at Abel and the fifth
on campus since the begin
ning of the school year.
The fire started in a trash
chute filled with paper
from the fourth floor to the
13th floor. The trash room
in the basement was full
up to the third floor.
Set On Purpose
According to Graham L.
Spahn, city fire inspector,
the fire was apparently set
on purpose.
John Benson of Abel first
saw the fire and smoke and
reported it to the fifth floor
student adviser, who came
to the fourth floor and af
ter verifying it, turned in
the alarm.
Fire fighters found Ilame
and heavy smoke coming
from the waste container
on the f o u r t h floor. Fire
men later found the ceiling
and wall above the trash
chute door blackened.
Spahn reported that the
occupants of several rooms
on fourth floor had taken
time to place either towels
or rugs in the hall or un
der their doors to keep out
the smoke.
These students were
called into the office at Abel
and questioned according to
Reggie Wyatt, one of t h e
fourth floor students who
used a rug to block out the
smoke.
Suggests Expulsion
"The guy who seemed to
be conducting the investi
gation said he would rec
commend to Chancellor Har
din next morning that the
whole fourth floor be ex
pelled. However, later, about
1 a.m. while walking
through the halls continuing
the investigation, he said
that the students would not
be expelled," Wyatt said.
Wyatt said that there were
rumors that room 1338, re

Some students may be
cringing in terror throughout
the next few weeks as t h e y
await the daily arrival of the
postman. Scholastic reports,
more commonly known as
down slips, were due in from
teachers at the Office of Stu-
rlpnt Affairs last week.
Reports are made out bv
individual tearhprs a n ri
mailed through the Office of
Student Affairs. In addition to
notations of low grades, teach-
ers may send commendations

Chief Roscoe Benton.
''The trash chutes are
built with a sprinkler above
them, which should take care
of the fire, but there can
always be some malfunc
tion and the fire can
spread," Benton said.'
"I am not concerned so
much with the fire, but the
heavy smoke can create
panic. That's the time that
somebody can lose his life,"
Benton added.
Danger, he said, also ex
ists, 'when you run 25-28
men through the streets of
Lincoln on fire apparatus,
taking the chance of a traf

men and citizens on t h e
street could get killed."

Voss explained that this re

The reports will be mailed
