Student Health Director Says College Students; In General Study Too Much To Be Healthy College students are popularly supposed to be cure-free youngsters who spend far more time having fun than studying; but Dr. Lee H. Ferguson, director of the student health service at Western Reserve Univeristy. tells the American Stu dent Health Association that col lege students in general are study ing too hard and working too hard for the good of their health impairment of hoolfh is often the result of overstudy. College Currieutam for one thing, is often too heavy for the students to curry without undue strain, say* Dr Ferguson. For another, young poople wh'o are working their way through college undergo a double which in many cases is making them easy victims for tu- bercnlosji.. To be sure. Dr. Ferguson re- porta, some eolloghum ire playing tare he offers is that of a set of young folks who are desperately in earnest and who are sacrificing their health in order to get the education they desire. On our own campus the keen In terest in intramural athletics shown by the majority of the stu dents does much to balance the health program and prevent sick ness from overstudy. However, Dr. Ferguson’s observations arl cer tainly worthy of consideration. A and M Basketecre Unable To Stop Offense of Strong Longhorn Fire.
