which is necessitated by the change
of school quarters.
Stradiing termed the program a
great success as a production labora
tory, saying his students had bene-
fitted very much from it. Playing
“before and after” records to ac
centuate his point, he said this prac
tical experience was invaluable as a
learning aid for student announcers.
Robbins said those who have not
received the first shot, could get the
vaccine at the beginning of next quar
ter.
The first reduction of virus at the
University enabled the start of polio
shot issuance, Robbins said.
"We are now treating only about
3b students a day," he said. "Before,
we were treating an average of 40

Robbins said there were more

month," he said.
