Buildings to Feature H ome Atmosphere in Small
Independent-Operatin g Units, Two Rooms Each
Bids on two proposed dormitories for women will be called
for today, Dr. Will V. Norris, supervising engineer, has an'
nounced. Authorization of the call for bids was made Tuesday
in Portland by the state board of higher education.

board at a previous meeting, is to house 234 girls. The second
proposed building is an enlarged dormitory housing 48fJgtaL

called for today and will be due
July 22, Dr. Norris said.
The small one-wing building,
which will also include the dining
room and kitchen unit, is estimat
ed to cost 51,250,000. The larger
completed dormitory will contain
both wings and the central unit
at an estimated cost of 52,000,000.
Bids returned on the buildings
will probably determine which of
the dormitories will be built, the
engineer indicated.
The dormitory, complete or in
the single-wing unit, is planned so
that a home atmosphere has been
retained with small independent
operating units although built as
a large unit of operation.

four units, each accommodating 14
girls and will have its own facil

Infirmary Declares
Funds Insufficient
Doctor Answers Letter Printed in Emerald;
Relates Difficulties Borne by Health Service
By MARGUERITE WRIGHT
Lack of funds sufficient to give “complete" service and a
limited staff were the reasons given Monday by Dr. bred
Miller, director of the University health service, for the alleged
refusal of the infirmary to treat the broken leg of a varsity
baseball player last week.
Attention was called to the situation by a letter to the
Emerald from Bill Larner (published May 17) in which the
health service was criticized for inadequate service to the stu
dents. The letter stated that Trainer Tom Hughes telephoned
to ask the infirmary to x-ray Outfielder Pat Wohler’s broken
leg at about 4:30 Thursday afternoon; that Hughes was told
it was after hours and no x-ray would be taken. The health
service offered to place hot compresses on the leg, the letter
said, but Hughes decided to take the injured player to the
Sacred Heart hospital where the leg was cast.
Cornell Objects
University Athletic Manager Anson B. Cornell told the
Emerald Monday that he believed injured students should be
treated by the infirmary regardless of the time the injury
occurs. He said the athletes paid the same health service fee
paid by other students and should receive adequate service.
“An injury received at 5 p. m. is just as important as a 9:30
a.m. injury,” he said.
Cornell said the official team physician, Dr. G. F. Guldagger
of Eugene, usually took care of athletic injuries, but that he
was not available for Wohler. He said the athletic department
spent nearly $2000 annually for medical expenses incurred by
members of the athletic teams. When players request treat
ment by their own doctors, he said the athletic department
usually pays the hospital bills although the athletes are asked
