Mungo
unwise
To the Editor:
I am sure that capitalist Mungo
is really worried about mv tax
money going to professional
students, after all his back pocket
is fat and bulging out. I would
? rather my tax money go to them
and not ?uch things as B-l bombers,
missiles, and other toys of
destruction.
Young people like me get to
college when they are 18 and really
do not know what field to go in. It is
awfully hard to pick a job to keep
for the next 47 years. I know
because this is my sixth year and I ~
have just discovered my future
interests. With mv field 1 will never
have a fat back pocket but I'll be
able to take pride in knowing that I
will be doing something constructive
for the human race.
Mungo asks how can he cut back
the taxpayer's cost. Well, he could
start with rolling back property
tax.
One last question from me. How
does someone like Mungo get on
the board of trustees? How much
money and-or property do you
have to have?

To the Editor:
It seems hardly appropriate for
Mr. Brooks, in his January 31
article regarding Thomson Health
Center, to claim that students'
complaints about the student
health center are unfounded in the
face of the incident he cites as
evidence for his case. If the health
center is funded by full-time
student fees, certainly full-time

students should reasonably be able
to expect to receive services there.
Mr. Brooks' suggestion that explanations
to students for the lack
of services available is naive, at
the very least. The man whose arm
was broken, had he been given an
explanation, would not have suffered
any less pain nor would have
his broken bone healed any more
quickly.
If funding for this service is
inadeauate to Drovide crnml
medical coverage, it would appear
a better solution to seek additional
monies to supply health care to the
sUndent population than to reduce
services and personnel at the
expense of the entire institution.
One could rationalize the limited
services by assuming that a large
number of students probably

or guardians, and are therefore
covered by insurance policies
which would allow them to receive
medical care elsewhere. However,

there are surely a like number of
students who do not have the
benefit of such protection, and who
depend upon the student health
center for their health care while
they attend the university. Unlike
the health center, hospitals in the
rnllimhin virlnihf ronniro noirmnnt
in cash before treatment, except in
cases of accidental injury, where
insurance policies are usually
accepted as payment. Emergency
room, radiologic, physician and
medicinal fees could be disastrous
for a student without the means to
pay for this attention and who had
been denied care at the health
center.
Of course, not any or every type
of illness or injury could be treated
in a facility such as the health
center. Yet it would seem that a
broken arm is not so unusual that it
could not have been treated in even
the most limited of facilities.
If the health of the university is
to be protected on an ongoing and
adequate basis, it is essential that
additional personnel and services
be provided at the health center.

to support the center. Perhaps
additional support should be
requested from other university
funding sources. As a state institution,
perhaps the university
should seek legislative ap
propriation of funds to help support ,
this facility.
Money can almost always be
found if it is sought seriously
enough. The health of a large
segment of Columbia's population
and the maintenance of a quality
educational institution depend
upon the continuation of good
medical attention. Can we as
students and citizens afford to
simply accept excuses without
attempting to improve the system?
