(Photo by Tom Knight) Rogol Wins Fellowship A third-year medical student has been granted an ll-week research training fel lowship in Israel next fall. Alan David Rogol of Seymour, Conn., received the award from the Health Ser vices and Mental Health Administration of the U. S. Public Health Service. Re cipients for the international grants are chosen by the Association of American Medical Colleges. Mr. Rogol will work at Rambam Gov ernment Hospital in Haifa, Israel, from Sept. 8 to Nov. 21. He is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is presently also working on a Ph. D. in physiology under a pre-doctoral fellowship from the American Cancer Society. The advent of spring is having its effect on hospital activities, as workmen begin a number of renovation projects. Renovation has just begun on a suite of four operating rooms on the fourth floor. The completion of this job will bring Duke's total operating facility to 18 rooms. The new section, to be used for uro logical and gynecological surgery, is ex pected to cost about $350,000. The surgical private diagnostic clinic, with offices on the first floor of the hos pital, is expanding its business office, administrative offices and examining rooms. Only administrative and business of fices will be located along- the main corridor so that ail examination facili ties can be moved off the corridor. The project is expected to cost $80,000 to $100,000 and will take several months. Workmen in the area of the first floor near the main lobby are renova ting additional space for the chaplain's service. The area, located next to the Allen Memorial Chapel, will be used as a family room and an office for the hospital hostesses. Nursing service offices on the first floor near the personnel office are also under renovation. Painting, rearranging, and installing of a new air conditioning system is expected to cost nearly $30 - 000. Nursing service has set up temporary headquarters in the new branch bank of fice until renovation of its offices is complete. Work on the former L. P. N. class room on the ground floor near the med ical private diagnostic clinic has virtually been completed. The area was assigned to the Duke maintenance department for electronics and telephone work space. The in-house and radio paging system will also be located there. Other projects presently underway include air conditioning the post office and record library. Workmen are in stalling a new 380-ton air conditioning unit to take care of the newly air condi tioned areas. SURGICAL P. D.
