As this school year comes to an end the fate of
the Student Infirmary is yet undetermined.
A new director has not been chosen; health
goals have not been outlined and accepted by the
consumers, providers and administration; and steps
.have not been taken to insure students active
involvement in the health program.
The Infiimary evaluation submitted to
Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson last month
confirmed the need for a new infirmary. A new .
building, at an estimated cost of more than $2.4
million is already in the planning stages.
The present building housing the Infirmary is
woefully inadequate, the report states. And the
space the Infirmary has, though limited, is not
utilized as efficiently as it could be.
The report recommends that the Infirmary take
an active role in outreach programs for the
students.

Satellite clinics might be established closer to
centers of student density (residence halls, student
unions, etc.) to provide referrals, screening and
health education. The report suggests these could
be staffed by nurse clinicians or community health
aids.

News analysis
In planning the new building, the report states,
services which' could be provided better and more
economically and efficiently by other departments
should be contracted out by the Infirmary.
Inpatient beds, clinical laboratory and the X-ray
department may be expensive duplications.
The study emphasizes the importance of the
new building as a part of the overall planning and
claims a new director must have a major voice in
planning this aspect of the program.
Dr. Sorrow and the Search Committee,
appointed by Sitterson to select a new director,
have not made their recommendations.
Sitterson said the committee had decided to
await the consultants report before making their
final selection- They have cot done so to date.
The consultants report suggests that, due to
changes in the University Administration, it might
be necessary and desirable to appoint an acting
director until a specific definition about the
commitment of the University Administration can
be made.
"The importance of the director's position to
the overall program can not be over-emphasized.
This is a person who, with his or her staff, working
with administration and students, must develop
the details of health planning.
Until the course of the Infirmary program is
agreed upon, the appointment of a permanent
director may need to be delayed.
In the rest of the report, the consultants made
recommendations concerning the future direction
of the health program. Among these was active
student input.
They recommend that a student advisory
committee or board be selected immediately. This
committee or board might serve in an advisory
capacity to the director and must have voting
power and help establish policy.
The consultants stressed the strained
relationship between students and the present
Infirmary staff, and advised physicians to respond '
in a meaningful way or risk consumer protest and
alienation.
So as the situation stands, the future direction
and goals of the Infirmary must be decided. The
Search Committee must select a new director,
however, they should know what the direction of
the health services is before they can choose the
most appropriate and qualified person.
The consultants' report states that a director
must play a key role in determining the future of

The Carolina Union Activities Group
has made arrangements for five free flicks
a week during the 1971 summer session
to highlight their, summer program of
activities.
The movies to be shown every Sunday
through Thursday will be featured in the
Great Hall as usual and include such films
as "The Guns of Navarone," "Cool Hand
Luke," "MacKenna's Gold," "The
Subject Was Roses," "Stolen Kisses,"
"John and Mary," "Lilith" and "Rachel,
RacheL"
Other activities already scheduled
include some jazz parties the Union
Snack Bar on Friday nights, duplicate
bridge at the Union on Mondays similar
to the Fall and Spring sessions and
watermelon parties later in the year.
In addition, there will be an art sale
and exhibit at the Union on June 22 and
a series of encounter tapes consisting of
introductory materials such as tapes and
the movie excerpt from a Carl Rogers
encounter group, "Journey Into Self."
Interested peoplewil then be. able to
form into Union sponsored encounter
groups.
Tentative programs include modern
dance classes in body movement, yoga
sessions and possibly a concert by Josh
White Jr.
Union President Chuck Patrizia says
the programs are still flexible. He noted
that last year weekend programs proved
to be, unsuccessful since many students
preferred to go to the beach.
He added it was very difficult to hold
programs for people attending the
summer sessions because the students
compose a very diverse group, such as
public school teachers coming to UNC to
take extra courses.
Patrizia hopes students attending
summer classes will help to make up a
summer activities board better suited to
program ideas that will be better suited to
the particular students in attendance.
For these reasons, Patrizia said current
Union plans are to wait for the summer
session to begin and, with-the students
help, make plans for the programs that
"will cater to the tastes of the people"
then in school.

the Infirmary. The director must also work with
students and administrators.
Students have demoastrated their desire for a
voice in the area of health care. The report
recommends they be allowed to participate as
advisers to the director. But the students desire to
have a voice in the selection of the director as w:Il
as the future direction of the health service.
It is the task of the Chancellor to appoint a new
director and it is in his power to create a student
advisory board.
The office of the ChinceHor, however, is
changing hands also. Sitterson may make the
decision or the task may be handed over to the
new chancellor. . ,
The school year is ending. A new chancellor
must be appointed; a new Infirmary director must
be chosen; students must be given an active role;
and the future health goals must be outlined and
accepted by all.
Which comes first, the health program or the
director, and where do the students come in?
