SpiaiUp By Jim Dedmon Have you ever used the Student Health Center, if so what did you think of it and if not, why not? 1 Sharon Lowdermilk Junior HDL I think it benefitted me pretty well for what 1 went for. Steven Langavins Earth Science I thought it was pretty good. It was nice, clean and the staff was pretty good. Carol Bennett Freshman Accounting What I like about it is you can get appoint ments. What I don’t like about it is when you go there they don’t neces sarily want to know what's wrong with you. They will treat it but they won't tell you what it is that's wrong with you. millis has already , ceived a few prizes. The include a plaque for ti school, a plaque for bin self, a micro-process^ several books and check for $300. Ellen Fabler Computer Science I thought it was realli good, sometimes thereis' very slow service, but other than that 1 thought it was pretty good. Dave Viscount F'reshman No, 1 haven’t (used the center). I never even really knew it was here actually. Tim Jenkins Sophomore English/Religion 1 found them very helpful. Quick and effi cient.
