Hendrix-new at
Health Service
By CiWKN BINCII
The new administrative
assistant at the University
Health Service. F. L.
Hendrix, is a man with
ideas Hopefully, some of
these ideas can be put to
work at the Health Service
to be of benefit to the people
it serves.
IIFNDRIX IIAS recently
attended two important
conferences. The first of
these. “Alternative Organi
zations for Comprehensive
Pre-Paid Health” was spon
sored by American College
Health Association and Ohio
Hospital Association.
The conference took place
Oct. 25-27. in Cincinnati.
Ohio. Health Maintenance
Organization is a relatively
new concept of a health
organization delivering
comprehensive health care
to an enrolled population on
the basis of a fixed contract
cost.
According to Hendrix, the
University Health Service
has the nucleus for an
not only for serving
the University, but in the
future, perhaps the entire
Athens area
Hendrix came here be
cause of an interest in
developing the Health Ser
vice into a truly compre
hensive health-care delivery
system. “We re working on
resources (staff and facili
ties) to expand service to
families of students and to
the community."
The second conference
Hendrix attended was a
series of three seminars for
administrators of small
hospitals Hold Oct 31-Nov.
3 at Missula, Billings, and
(Ireat Falls. Montana, the
conference was sponsored
by the Health Care Facili
ties Services of the Federal
Department of Health. Edu
cation, and Welfare.
HENDRIX SPOKE on the
possibility for use of a
Unit-Dose Drug Distribution
system for small hospitals.
This system was developed
by Hendrix several years
ago to try to cut down the
number of errors in medi
cation distribution in hospi
tals
In the new system, a
carton eopv of the doctor’s
order goes to the pharmicist
who gives out enough
pre-packaged medication
for a 24 hour period. He
notes the charge for the
pills and sends the package
upstairs to the patient’s
floor This completely eli
minates the job of a
medication nurse
The system costs a little
more than the old system,
and therefore, it was
thought to be practical for
only a large hospital. As
hospital administrator at
Union General Hospital, in
Blairsville. Ga., Hendrix
implemented the new sys
tem and proved it to be
beneficial to a small hospi
tal as well
This project has proven to
be a major development in
the field of pharmacy.
Union General was the
fourth hospital in the state
to establish this system and
its success was the reason
for Hendrix’s invitation to
the H E W. conference.
THE PERSONNEL from
the small hospitals were
interested as Hendrix ex
plained how’ the program
could be established without
a large nursing staff or a
full-time pharmacist. "The
administrators in the audi
ence were most impressed
with Union General’s suc
cess in this area,” Hendrix
stated, “and expressed their
desire to further investigate
the possibility of starting
such a program for their
hospitals.”
In his position here.
Hendrix is responsible to
Dr. John Curtis for all
aspects of the Health
Service except for supervi
sion of the physicians. “I’d
had experience in every
other kind of hospital and I
wanted to gain experience
in a large out-patient
facility," said Hendrix.
He enjoys his work, and
explains it like this: ‘‘It’s
very exciting to be associ
ated with a progressive,
fast-moving organization.
It's stimulating because
students are aware, and
provide critical input. We
are trying to meet the
students' needs instead of
telling them what they
need.”

peace for concert
The University of Georgia
and Georgia Tech Men’s Glee
Clubs, in cooperation with the

Alumni Association, will take
an unusual step this Friday
night, suspending competitive
spirit for just long enough to
join in song.

8:15 pm. Friday in Fine Arts

retirement in 1962 Herbert

Snowy Evening.” both by

effects through a rhythmic use
of spoken words, and the first

Carmichael favorite arranged
for the Men’s Glee Club by
pianist-faculty member Ray
mond Gotko
The Georgia Glee Club's
portion of the program will end
with the traditional medley of
Georgia songs

join forces to end the program
with Randall Thompson’s The
Testament of Freedom.” a
musical setting of Thomas
Jefferson's patriotic writings

PREFACE
By ROBERT MORRIS JACKSON
Sometimes I feel that my victories
only postpone my defeat
Like a photograph that distorts the picture
Or a memory that forgets the truth
For I’ve asked again
and again I've got ‘no comment’,
But Lucifer builds bridges
And God washes them away.
So one plays with life
and lives it as a novel,
But dawn’s climax is an overexposure
And the evening leaves a print
etched by shadows,
The book's not prefaced
And tomorrow's dawn has no business coming,
As always, Lucifer builds bridges
And God washes them away.
The ocean's meringue ebbs at the edge
of a void,
But the sand bakes it hard,
And if victories can be salvaged
from defeat,
Then let this life be a novel
turned picture book
with its overexposures and twig prints,
For I am my own preface
As I burn my own bridges
and build them to stay.
INTRODUCTION TO A SEQUENCE
FOR A MAN ON A CROSS
By MICHAEL SEGERS
Let’s pity the sonnet, this base, Italian thing,
The weakest of these weaknesses called verse.
It may suffice for that which lovers sing,
But not to hold my blessing or my curse.
For when they hung you up and wrote their
sign,
That all the world might know your name and
wrong,
Not in iambics was that gruesome line,
Nor did it sound a pretty poet’s song.
I weep to see you hanging on your tree.
Great is your su//ering, but greater is your
crime:
To love the Other, that you might be free!
And so, I make my hudibrastic rhyme:
That you might learn, from one who stands
below,
The irony of life, and not its woe.

Monkey Business
Looking into a monkey's mouth is routine business for two
University scientists who are working on the problem of
distant human ancestors. Dr. Ronald Butler (above), physical
anthropologist, and Dr. Irwin Bernstein, a primatologist, are
examining tooth wear in monkeys to find out such things as
what man's ancestors ate and how age and sex affected their
tooth wear.

There's Something Good for Every
body You Love at
MRS. GARRIDAN
By VONNIE BRYANT
mrs. garridan is not afraid of death
she told me so herself,
and tigers and snakes
have never given her the shakes.
no
she's too brave and wise
and i’ve never
never seen her cry.
she lives in a big house
with windows that stare at the street,
and in summer heat
they look scratched and skinned
and in winter they seem sad and hurt
and too old to mend.
but mrs. garridan never seems to mind
if things aren’t patched in time.
THE TIME IS THE LORD’S TIME
she'd been told,
and in every room there was a new testament
and by her bed one of the old.
once there was a big storm
and i thought of mrs. garridan
and how she kept warm
by opening her stove,
and i wondered if maybe this time
she didn’t wanna be alone,
but the next day
she was on her porch again
with the blanket she'd crocheted
to lay upon her lap and hands.
that blanket
she would fold across a chair
and at night it turned into a headless stranger
or a monster bear,
and she never seemed to notice
or even care.
yes
mrs. garridan is not afraid of death
she told me so herself,
but still
she seems so very odd
for mrs. garridan’s
afraid of god.
