RICK MASON PHOTOGRAPHS BY JOHN CAMPBELL GLENN HUNDERTHARK RANDY WELLFORD RALPH NGSBIT DENNTDODaW Mrs. Stephens Discusses Situation At Infirmary BY CHARLIE PRATT As a temporary conclusion to the series of articles on the health center and its opera tions, this reporter interviewed Mrs. Stella Stephens, the RN heading systems at the infir mary, She emphasized the dire need for a completely new health center with a full staff and with the proper facilities for treatment, both first-aid and short-term care, for diagnos tic testing, and for consultation work, "The problem is money,” says Mrs. Stephens aptly. No one has ever contributed any money to the health center. As a rough calculation, the infir mary receives $23,000 per year from the General Fees of the college, which is very shy of what is needed to equip and staff a good infirmary for a college of this size, even. The Infirmary loses money on sales of drugs, partly, because they sell drugs at only 10% above the wholesale cost, and also be cause they do not receive pay ments on drugs from all stu dents who obtained them. The rule about withholding grades is not enforced. The college does not have extra money to spend toward the Infirmary. "I have done my best to get more money and more people to staff the health center, but 1 must still give in service of students and St. An drews College.” Currently, Mrs. Stephens shares the re sponsibility with two other nur ses to l>e on call 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. She estimates that she has prime responsi bility for a 90-hour work-week for which she calculates she receives 68 1/2? per hour. This Is very much below the wages paid to a Registered Nurse at most institutions. Five years C3-X ssow k Getting Straight bold, S lays it on * suggestive the line.

"They Call Me Mister Tibbs' ago she worked three shifts, including the weekend, which turned out to be even longer hours with even less pay. In comparison to a numl>er of other small colleges in this area, St. Andrews has one of thg tost for the facilities avail able. Other colleges such as Pembroke and Campl>ell have health centers with new infir maries, and therefore have bet ter facilities and necessarily better coverage. Mrs. Stephens answered some of the accusations which were directed toward her and the College Physicians. Her answers more than anything reemphasized the problem of under-staffing, lack of diagnos tic equipment, and the inef ficiency of the building In which the infirmary is housed. “I admit that I make mistakes— but 1 try to correct them and help people. This is my ser vice. ” The only way to Improve the health service is “somehow, through someone—through the Trustees--we must get money from donations for the infir mary.” Two weeks ago, when the Trustees were supposedly "on campus”, they did not bo ther to check out the condition of the infirmary. Perhaps no cme told them of the financial and physical problems of it, although Mrs. Stephens has tried for years to obtain it through proper channels with Mr. Urle and Dean Decker. Meanwhile, life goes on. “Students should try to help the nurses over here, and the nurses wiU try to help you.” 4—’ CH o KE s Wooi>£'^ IT -DRlfSftfS I *(2oo se '2.0IS ST- ivJ C. ^ y "Struggle With Ideas” (Continued from page 2) to awaken people to what is really occurring at home in the ghettoes, schools and institu tions, and abroad withU.S, busi ness exploiting African, Asian and South American peoples, subjecting them to poverty and war. The white, middle class kids that comprise the majority of S.A. students need not immedi ately worry about poverty, racism and war, for few of us have experienced them. It is a simple thing for us to ration alize these things away by say ing consciously or sul)Con- sciously that we have not ex perienced them and therefore they don’t matter or even exist. But they do exist and they do affect us and they will involve us more and more as those who have been kept down demand what they need and deserve to fulfill a human existence. We as middle class kids on a relatively secure Island for four years can either play the game, attempting to obtain the most fun and/or grades and ignore all that is happening abroad, in the ghettoes and In the surrounding communities, OR we can ad mit they exist and look for ways and means by which they can be changed and In what way change must come. 1 think you and others on campus are becoming Increas ingly aware of what is haj^nlng and are in search for reasons why and perhaps even for alter natives In action. To me, the left otters an analysis that Is appli cable, not because it has t>een bent to fit but because it was derived from facts. But the thing now is for all to be open to what is being said, to test the analysis by application and to struggle with the Ideas being dealt with.
