Inter-university library cards
have been issued at each school

seeking a particular volume, a
card-holder simply requests that
his library locate the book

obtain it through conventional

Tests Result
Show Aspirin
For the Birds
Is aspirin really for the birds?
It is, according to tests being
conducted by Dr. J. H. Quisen-
berry, head of the Department of
Poultry Science.
Acetyl salicylic acid, the princi
pal component of aspirin, is being
fed to two groups of chickens, one
at a rate of a half-pound per ton
and the other group at a concen
tration of 1 pound per ton of feed.
Results of the tests are then com
pared with those gathered from a
group of layers on an ordinary, or
basal diet.
“The laying hen has normal ev
eryday problems just like humans
do,” Quisenberry said, “and she
needs something to relieve them,
too. We are using the aspirin to
see if it will relieve heat stress
and nervousness in the chickens
and as a result increase their egg
production and feed conversion ef
ficiency.”
Eight 28-day periods have been
completed. The aspirin-fed groups
have laid at a slightly higher rate
and the feed efficiency has been
slightly better. Mortality has been
higher in the experiment because
of heat losses suffered during the
latter part of July. Mortality has
been a little lower for the aspirin
groups than the control group, he
added.
“This experiment is not finished
yet, but so far our results show
that aspirin really is “for the
birds,” Quisenberry said.
Hospital Life Exposed
By Battalicm Reporter
By GERALD GARCIA
I was cuddled up in my favorite
sleeping position sound asleep.
Suddenly, I felt a tap on my
shoulder. I awoke.
I looked up and saw a pretty,
smiling girl. I could not make
out the color of her eyes or hair
because of dim light, but I could
tell she was good looking.
“I need to take your tempera
ture,” she said.
Then I remembered. I was in
the University Hospital with the
flu. My dream—which was real
for once—continued when I burst
out coughing.
This procedure of shoulder tap
ping and taking temperatures was
done every two hours until
breakfast and at least four times
during the day.
That was my first night at the
hospital. If I must say, spend
rather tiresome but satisfying.
My first day was the best. I
entered early in the morning with
a 104 temperature. I was dizzy
and feeling terrible. I slept
throughout the day.
When I awoke the TV seemed
to be blasting off. I looked at
the crowded eight-bed ward. If
most of the occupants felt the
way they looked, they were worse
off than I was.
At exactly 10 p.m. a nurse
turned off the tube, took our
temperature and said, “Go to
sleep, you al’ need it.”
At this time, I needed sleep like reading and a good shower, the
a fish wanting afternoon drill
to start.
I finally managed to find a
comfortable position after much
tossing and turning and fell off
into a dream world. And the
dreams started with the shoulder
tapping sessions.
The fourth time I awoke, I
did not curse the pretty little
thing, but the whistle jock for
waking me up so early.
After final call for chow was
sounded, the lights in the ward
came on and the moaning and
groaning of the occupants could
be heard.
While the troops entered Sbisa,
our food entered the ward. It
wasn’t bad especially after not
eating for a day and a half.
After settling my stomach’s
growling, I tried to make up for
the time lost during the shoulder
tapping and the whistle jock. It
was useless.
Frist, the doctors came to
examine their patients. Secondly,
nurses kept bringing pills to
everybody with no explanation,
except “take them.” And when
they said “them” they meant it.
And finally, Fish Jones decided
he was too excited about the snow
and sleet that had fallen the night
before so he had to carry on a
conversation with a buddy on the
other side of the ward.
With a little TV watching,
morning flew and so had my
illness—I thought. But the aft
ernoon brought a rise in tem
perature and my hope of getting
out vanished.
Fish Jones kept insisting that
he must be well so he visited
everybody in the hospital the rest
of the afternoon.
The TV provided good viewing
that night and all of the ward’s
crew seemed to enjoy it except
Fish Jones who had over exerted
himself during the afternoon and
was feeling worse than when he
had entered the hospital.
After the usual 10 p.m. proce
dure, we retired into dreamland.
But this time, I didn’t cuss be
cause the dreams were very much
alive and I expected to be awaken
the next morning.
I once again awoke with the
whistle jock and ate breakfast.
The doctor came in, examined
me and told me to leave.
When I departed, Fish Jones
was still taking the handful of
pills and insisting that he was
well.
I have but one grief. Every
thing else was fine. I got good
treatment. The nurses were nice.
The bed softer than the one at
the dorm. The TV worked. The
food was eatable.
My only complain is that they
cured me and now I miss the tap
on my shoulder.

Water Utilities
Course Under Way
‘The man who is afraid to have
a stupid idea will only accidental
ly—if ever—have a brillant one.”
Leon R. Holbert, chief instruct
or for Water Utilities Training
for the Engineering Extension
Service at A&M University, made
the comment at the opening ses
sion of the 47th Texas Water
and Sewage Works Association’s
short school in the Memorial Stu
dent Center.
Registration figures totaled 336
Monday morning but were ex
pected to mushroom to 750 by
Wednesday for the week-long
school.
Holbert said a man needs a
stimulus for ideas, a desire to
solve and a curosity as to what,
why, how, when, where and who.
“Don’t be afarid to think ‘way
out’ ”, he said, adding, “No man
will find anything new in paths
men have beaten into ruts.
“Occasionally one of us comes
up with a new idea, but people
come up with all sorts of ‘killer
phrases’ to kill ideas and chloro
form creative thinking,” he con
tinued.
Holbert said comments from
superiors in regard to new ideas
often sound like this: “We’ve
never done it that way.” “It’s
not in the budget.’ “What will
the customers think?” “It’s too

Dr. Donald Maley, head of the

“Ideas are funny things,” Hol
bert concluded, “They never work
unless you do.”
The president of the Texas
