et al Hospital lowers rates Sacred Heart General Hospital will lower its charges for daily care and several other patient services, effective today. Under the new rates, the cost of daily care will be reduced by $3 per day, bringing the charge for care in a 2-bed room down from $116 to $113 per day, and for care in a private room from $126 to $123 per day. Charges will also be reduced on certain other supportive patient services. Sister Monica Heeran, administrator, says the rate reductions have been made possible by the fact that Sacred Heart is caring for more patients than had been anticipated. With the trend in usage rising during the past few months, Sacred Heart expects the new lower rates to produce sufficient revenue for the hospital to meet its operating expenses. Arab students hold show An Arabian dinner, a show featuring songs, dances and plays performed by University students and an Arabian art and craft exhibi tion will be included in a special “Cultural Night” at the University Saturday sponsored by the campus Organization of Arab Students. The session, which is open to the public, will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the EMU Ballroom. Tickets are $5.
