tumors, spinal meningitis, and a
file full of unusual fractures

Charles R. Lyons, M.D., hos
pital director, dispenses aspirin,
myocin and humor in measured
doses.
Sunburns, especially after
Splash Day, are a major contribu
tor to medics’ long days. Several
hundred a year are checked, of
which two or three are severe.
The worst seen at the hospital
was from a youth sleeping under
a sun lamp.
Another came off Galveston’s
beach. The Aggie got a surplus
of sun on Saturday, so his bud
dies covered him with wet sand
on Sunday, protecting his face
with newspaper. The mound of
sa»»t was “flagged” with the Ag
gie’s feet, left uncovered and
pointing south.
“All he had burned was the
bottom of his feet,” Lyons re
marked. “They were cooked the
way I like steak.”
Another warm-weather prob
lem is poison ivy. No case can
top Lyons’ own, a 100 per cent
coverage from dewberry picking.
Three hundred X-rays a month
reveal a variety of fractures. One
student returned to the campus
with an odd feel to his jaw from
bull-dogging a steer. During the
match, a horn popped into the
Aggie’s mouth.
Officers Chosen
By Debate Team
A&M debaters began prepara
tions for next year’s agenda with
the election of officers and the
initiation of five new pledges.

lege Station will head the campus’

bate society.
Other officers are freshmen
Wayne Prescott of Houston, sec
retary-treasurer, and David Mad
dox of College Station, public re
lations head.
New pledges are freshmen
Mark Caperton of Caldwell, Ron
Hinds of Midland, Prescott and
Maddox. Benny Mays, a sopho
more from Brashear, was also
initiated into the fraternity at a
barbecue-banquet Saturday, host
ed by the group’s sponsor, Carl
Kell.
Also at the banquet $25 cash
awards were presented to Mad
dox, Hinds, Prescott, Gay and
Mays.

He reported having problems
drinking water. X-rays showed
his jaw had been broken loose
from his skull.
In peak periods, radiation flows
at the rate of 500 X-rays a month
in the self - supporting hospital.
The figure includes army physi
cals. The hospital staff adminis
ters workmen’s compensation pre
employment physicals, too.
The Ohio State University-
trained Lyons, who has student
medical service at the University
of Montana and Virginia Poly
technic Institute at Blacksburg,
had a power mower case in which
wire had to be chiseled from a
man’s ankle.
Snake bites from cadet outfit
picnics contribute to the 63-hour
week worked by hospital doctors.
Cuts and lacerations nosedived
with closing of the Clay Pits.
Colds, sore throats and blisters
are major items serviced from the
$9.50 student school year fee,
which returns $3 in medical care
per dollar invested.
The hospital operates at a $3.41
cost per patient-day, supplying
medicine free for all but chronic
ailments.
Hypochondriacs take up time.
During an epidemic a student re
ported believing he had the flu.
Dr. Lyons took a 98.6 temperature
and asked the youth how he felt.
“Fine,” he replied, “but mother
told me to see if I have the flu.”
“After coming in here where
we have 237 cases, you probably
do now,” Lyons rejoined.

Telephone Bill Changes Due
With May Monthly Statement
Monthly telephone bills will
have a new look beginning with
the May statements, according to
Rex Bailey, Division Manager for
Southwestern State Telephone
Company.
He said the changes would i’e-
sult from processing by the new
IBM computer system at the com
pany’s accounting center in San
Angelo.
The most notable change will be
in the billing for some long-dis
tance calls. Calls placed from
College Station-Bryan and neigh
boring communities will be handl
ed as in the past.
However, some calls placed
from out-of-town and charged to
local numbers will be itemized on
the statement, and no long dis
tance tickets will be enclosed for
these calls. This will involve
some collect calls and credit card
calls placed in other towns.
Changes in the dates that state
ments are mailed will be the other

I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO
SAVE DEAR NICK FROM
GETTING ROUGHED UP
WHILE SHAVING CLOSE!
SOB-SOB
Great idea for his birthday. Or any big occasion. The Norelco
'Flip-Top' Speedshaver® 20. Just about the most wanted shaver
there is for closeness and comfort. Famous Norelco rotary blades
stroke whiskers off. No grab. No pull. No cut. No nick. Easy 'flip-
top' cleaning, too. It costs less than a cashmere sweater —and
you get a smoother date out of it. P.S. If you want to spend a little
more, give the Norelco Speedshaver 30 (at right). 35% closer
shaves. ‘Floating heads,' too. And a pop-up trimmer for sideburns.
All the trimmings—and no stings attached.
