Dedication Speaker
Two Forced Into Men’s Sec
tion When 6 Are Confined
to Bed
Inadequacy of the Crawford W.
Long Infirmary forced the medical
staff to place two women students in
the men’s ward this week when six
women were confined to the Infirm
ary.
There are only three rooms with
five beds available for all junior and
senior women. One room has three
beds and there are two single rooms.
Conditions of the patients were
such that only two could be put in
the large room. With more adequate
facilities this pair would have been
separated, but the two were placed
as far apart as possible in the large
room.
Itooin.s Left. for Men
The other four women patients had
to be placed in single rooms. Since
there are only four rooms for men
students, this left only two rooms
available for them.
In case other sickness develops,
the only recourse is a large over
flow ward which is not satisfactory
but which must be used at times,
nurses said.
The Red and Black has long urged
the Board of Regents to build a new
Infirmary. Last fall an extensive
campaign was conducted. In addi
tion to- lack of floor space, the rotten
condition of timbers in the building
and the fact that it is a fire trap
were pointed out.
Last, Addition in 1025
History of the Infirmary shows
that there have been no physical ad
ditions since 1925 when the wo
men’s ward was built with funds do
nated by the University Women’s
Club, the War Memorial Fund, and
subscription among alumni.
Although this is the first time this
year that such a situation has arisen,
it is not the first time in the history
of the Infirmary. Several times last
year it was necessary to place women
in the men’s ward.
