He said in the "real" world you just don't walk into a doctor's office and expect to be seen, but call ahead (and get an appointment. The new system has been generally well received, Turner said. "People like the system so much that we are filling up our appointments very, very rapidly," he said.

"I was a little concerned about the non-smoking policy out of respect to our employees who smoke. They are valued employees and good people. But fortunately, they have received it. They understand the nature of why we did this," Turner said. 1 -If the Koger Center could be a 1 non-smoking facility, the health center could be a non-smoking facili; ty, Turner said. i Rhodes said she believed the no ' t smoking policy was a wonderful idea , and should have been implemented a ' long time ago. The health center is supposed to be setting the example, she said. ; "I hope that we set an example : that will be a trend across campus, j Everybody knows that cigarettes are harmful to the body, but sometimes ; putting words into action moves > slowly.
