Weekly Schedule

Intercom has become a weekly
newspaper.
It will be published every Friday
and may be picked up in the main
hospital cafeteria, the desk in the
main lobby, the Carousel Room,
the Medical Center Library, the
Outpatient Department, the
P.D.C.'s, outside the Hospital Store,
and in the third-floor dining room.
As in the past. Intercom will be
delivered to each ward, all mail
room boxes, Hanes House, Hanes
Annex, Bell Building, and the
Nanaline H. Duke Building. Copies
will be shipped to Drake Pavilion,
the Pickens Rehabiliation Center,
and the Veterans Administration
Hospital.
With the change in publication
schedule. Intercom hopes to bring
Medical Center news to all
employes faster.
In addition, the staff has begun a
want ad column called the "Trading
Post" which is available free to
Medical Center personnel. See the
instructions on page 4 if you have
something to buy„ sell, or trade.
This column is replacing the want

Medical Center calendar will also
become a regular feature of
Intercom. It will appear each
Friday to announce meetings,
seminars, lectures and other events
