Telephone Strike
single Progress Seen
m0 ’ ht WASHINGTON Iff* — Union
negotistors in the nationwide
telephone strike reportedly have
won wage increases of sbout 6
per cent a year for three years,
but other issues delayed a con
tract settlement Wednesday
night.
The wage agreement between
the AFL-CIO Communications
Workers and the Bell Telephone
System will apply to some
200,000 strikers and become a
pattern for about 400,000 other
telephone workers.
But bargaining in New York,
Washington and 16 other cities
was snagged on other union con
tract demands in negotiating
sessions that continued through
the night ,
The strike, first nationwide
telephone walkout in 21 years, is
ending its second week.
“We're keeping an all-night
vigil,'* said a spokesman at the
union’s international headquar
ters. “We would like to wrap it
up.”
The reported wage agreement
in the year’s biggest set of in
dustrial labor negotiations would
boost average pay for telephone
workers from $2.79 to about 33.29
per hour over the three-year
contract.

New Hospital Building Needed
By JOHN JAMES
Battalion Special Writer
u It’s a disgrace to the univer-
aity," said Dr. Julius D. Fuaeiier
in speaking about the university
hospital.
“It’s really an eyesore on the
university campus,” he continued,
“because the building is in real
need of replacement"
According to Dr. Fuaeiier, a
staff physician at the hospital,
and Dr. Kenneth L. Nelson, di
rector of the hospital, the Uni
versity Hospital building waa first
constructed in 1916, with an ad
dition built in 1936.
“The roof of this building has
been leaking since 1949,” said
Lonxell Payton, university hospi-
tal head cook.
THE ROOMS on the second
floor average three or four leaks
in the ceiling,” Mrs. Joseph Gar
cia, a nurse’s aide, said “’Hie
second floor is, of course, the in
firmary, where patients are hos
pitalised,” she added.
The leaking roof is not the only
problem caused by the old budd
ing; there also are the problems
of poor wiring, leaky plumbing,
inadequate heating and falling
paint and plaster.
The water fountain on the sec
ond floor has been out of order
for nine months,” said Mrs. Anne
Middleton, registered nurse. TVs

paper cups on a small table for
a water fountain for the pa
tients,” aba added.
. THE TREATMENT room on
the first floor has a leaky ceil
ing,” added Mrs. Louisa Amyx,
nursing supervisor and head
nurse. “The fault lies in the show
er located on the second floor."
The wiring Is inadequate,” Mrs.
Amyx said. “We have so many
appliances working on one cir
cuit that when we have several
of thorn in operation simultane
ously the circuit breaks.”
“In the physiotherapy ward,
we can't use the cast cutter and
any additional piece of equipment
at the same time without over
loading the circuit,” said Mrs.
Mary F. Gough, registered nurse
and mother of Aggie varsity foot
baller Carl Gough.
WHY DO conditions like this
exist at a hospital which cares
for humans while the Texas AAM
Veterinary Hospital has a modem
building and the latest equip
ment? Before asking this ques
tion it it important to take a
cloae look at the university hospi
tal to see what equipment it has,
what it lacks, and what condition
the 50-plus year old structure is
in.
When a student enters the hos
pital, he sees the nicest part of
the building first—the waiting
room. Once he is taken down the
hall to the cold clinic, physiother
apy ward, treatment room, doc
tor’s office, etc., he sees piaster
snd paint peeling from the ceiling
and walla The patient might even
stumble on the loose linoleum
flooring.
“EVERY MORNING I have to
brush the chipped paint and plas
ter from the counter of the first
floor emergency room," Mrs.
Gough said.
If the student is in need of s
physical examination he will find
that the h oa pi tal has modem
equipment such as a sound audio
meter to teat hearing, an electro
cardiograph to record heartbeat,
and a lensometer to teat the pre
scription of glaaaes.
If the patient needs an X-eay,
he finds that the hospital has
some of the latest equipment in
cluding a film processor which
develops X-rays in 90 seconds.
The laboratory, the patient dis
covers, is complete and modem
including the use of disposable
equipment
HOWEVER, IF the patient
needs physiotherapy, he finefts
that the hospital lacks a diather-

Any patient requiring hospita

heater to keep warm in winter
while two doors away is another
patient who has kicked away him

room works too well.
The patient who needs surgery
must be taken to St Joseph's
Hospital in Bryan as the univer
sity hospital has no facilities for
surgery.
“Any hospital which does not
offer surgery isn't redly a hos
pital at all, but merely an in
firmary,” Dr. Nelson noted.
THE STAFF of the University
Hospital is adequate to serve the
current enrollment of the school.
The hospital employs 10 regis
tered nurses snd three staff phy
sicians and has the services of
one of the finest surgeons in the
area, Dr. Henry D. McQuaide; an
ear, nose and throat specialist.
Dr. Truman O. Mricher; and a
urologist. Dr. Richard H. Harrison
in.
“The nursing staff is flexible
enough that we haven’t run short
of help," Dr. Fuselisr said. "How
ever, I think we need another doc
tor.”
“We have held back on pur
chasing new equipment because
we wanted to have all new equip
ment and a new building,” Dr.
Nelson said.
"IN 1958 or 1959 the real im-
petus on getting a new hospital
huiMmir waa started,” Dr. Nelson
said, “But the enrollment was
only six or seven thousand at that
time and our pleas fall on deaf
ears."
Last year, plans for a new hos
pital building were drawn up by
students in the Architecture
School. The plans were submitted
'to the university administration
and were approved. However, the
U. S. Departmest of Health, Edu
cation and Welfxre did not match
the $250,000 passed by the uni-
ve»sit|.
tabulation of returns showed
Wednesday that Rockefeller won
by about 1,000 votes on the same
day that he entered the race.
Sen. Eugene J, McCarthy of
Minnesota, the only candidate on
the Democratic ballot, received
slightly more than 50 per cent of
his party’s vote. Sen. Rpbert F.
Kennedy, D-N.Y., ran secend, out
distancing Vice Preeident Hubert
H. Humphrey by a 3-2 margin
in write-ins.
FORMER VICE President Rich
ard M. Nixon was third in the
Republican column, about 5,000
votes behind Rockefeller, and Mc
Carthy was fourth, gaining write-
in votes on almost 10 per cent of
the G.O.P. ballots.
Rockefeller will get the state's
34 votes on the first ballot at the
Republican National Convention,
and McCarthy sewed up the
state's 72 first ballot votes at the
Democratic convention. A new
state law requires convention
delegates to vote on the first
ballot for their party’s prefer
ence winner.
ROCKEFELLER had no cam
paign organisation in the state.
Volpe said Rockefeller’s victory
was “an impressive demonstra
tion of the high regard which the
people of Massachusetts have for
. him."
Volpe ran as a favorite son in
hopes of winning the vice presi
dential nomination.
Gerhard D. Bleicken, chairman
of the Nixon for Preeident Com
mittee in New England, said he
thought Nixon would have won
if he had not declined to enter
the primary out of deference to
Volpe.
McCARTHY was alone on the
Democratic ballot because Presi
dent Johnson had declined to
have his name entered and the
filing deadline came before either
Kennedy or Humphrey became
candidates.
•_
Unofficial returns from 1,722
of the state’s 1,734 precincts
showed the following totals:
Republican: Rockefeller 30,908,
Volpe, 29,663, Nixon 26,021, Mc

Saturday Voting
AUSTIN <** — Bard Logan,
state chairman of George Wal

Wednesday the former Alabama
governor’s backers can register
Saturday at party precinct meet
ings in more than 180 counties.
To get on Texas’ November

cratic or Republican primaries.
Wallace flew around Texas for
three days last week to drum up
support for his third party effort.
Those attending American
party conventions will be asked to
sign a voter participation roll.
They also will get a chance to
vote in the statewide voter opin
ion polls on horse race betting,

“It looks very good,” Logan
said, “although some of our
people are getting a lot of pres

primary because of the governor’s
