Friday, February 26, 1982 Page 2 Daily Nebraskan Physician's assistant working on East Campus East Campus now has a physician's assistant on duty Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 4 pjn. at the Health Resource Center, said Dr. Gerald Fleischli, medical director of the University Health Center. "The physician's assistant at East Campus is there on a trial basis to see what kind of need we have for the ser vice," Fleischli said. "We will evaluate the program and decide whether to continue it next semester." Fleischli said the program is one way for the health center to improve student services without increasing space, because the East Campus Health Resource Center, East Union 316, was staffed by a registered nurse week days from 2 to 4 pjn. The nurse will work the same hours as before, but not on Wednesday. One problem which had to be solved before the pro gram could begin concerned patient records, which are located at the Health Center on City Campus. Fleischli said information from the records will be transferred to the East Campus location through a telephone dictating machine, which both locations already have. "The dictating machine also links the physician's assis tant with a specific physician at the health center in case of questions," he said. "Qualified physicians review the patient and co-sign the records along with the physician's assistant." "The physician's assistant can write prescriptions, but we do not have a pharmacy on East Campus," he said. "In the future, I do hope to stock some drugs at the East Campus Health Resource Center." The East Campus physician's assistant also will work during the lunch hour because that is the only time some law and dental students can use the center, Fleischli said. A program similar to this was started at UNO about a year ago, with a physician's assistant working two days a week. "The students really liked it, and the service has been extended to a full-time physician's assistant at UNO," Fleischli said.

"The discontinuation is strictly a result of economics on the paper market," Downs said. 'The low-grade paper (mostly newspapers and corrugated cardboard) we had been picking up has no value on the market." The paper collected by Dennis Paper Sales is shredded, shipped to mills and re-manufactured as toilet and facial tissue. i 11 il.A v w a a is 1 I n I'M intntflnAfl . . . . I j.

Jay Schluckcbier, assistant director of the Grounds Department, said the discontinuation shouldn't cause much additional litter on campus. "Ninety percent of the low-grade paper that was pre viously picked up consisted of Daily Nebraskans," Schluckcbier said. 'That is a problem mostly contained in buildings and classrooms, some of which can really be a mess." "I don't think it (discontinuation of some pick-ups) will be a problem," he said. 'The custodial department will take the brunt of the extra litter if there is any." The waste paper will be taken to the city dump along with other refuse, Schluckebier said.
