The weak point in all of the systems proposed was that; there was no positive check on the validity of the student’s illness.- -j.; l $5 Stemming from the day student question came the problem qf how to handle non-corps sick leaves. The non-corps students are not given passes to see their family doctor. And in most cases, Miss Ciaghorn pointed out they will not come back by the hcispital to check b^ck in. Families Notified The question of telephones was quickly dismissed with an explan ation by Dr. Marsh. He pointed out that all families are notified if the patients condition is bad enough to • warrant a call. • • > ■."L Miss Ciaghorn then citfed a few cases in' Which she not only called the family several times and in addition to this she even called the boy’s girl- friend. In regard to who should! make out the new sick list and be 're sponsible for it, Col. H. L.

The hospital is supposed to handle th^ sick.” Boatner is a member of the col lege stuff hospital commitftee, Doctor’s Report Dr. Quisenberry, ehairmah of the staff committee, read a few letters written by a group of doctor* who Inspected the hospital a few years ago.

This is a slight reduction from last fall when 3,021 were en rolled under the G. I. Bill. Of this number, 1,160 are mar ried and most of these are living in college operated apartments. Two hundred fifty-five of the 473 graduate students now enroll ed at A&M are veterans on the G. I. Bill. There are only 44 fresh man veterso? at the annex this semester. The largest enrollment of .vete rans at A&M waa in the fall of 1946 when 8,281 students were on the G. I. Bill. There has been a gradual decrease ever since that date. The decrease in number since 1946 Is due to graduation, accepted positions, financial troubles, sick-, ness, and expiration of the G. !.
