expense. Students requesting the professional attention of a physician or registered
nurse of their choice may do so at their expense and by the approval of the Director
of the Student Health Department. Local physicians are available for medical service
to students at their places of residence, at the student's expense.
 Health service is available only to those students currently enrolled in the Uni-
versity who have paid the student health fee. In the case of married students, who
are unacquainted with local physicians, the Student Health Department will be glad
to recommend well qualified physicians to attend their families.
 The Health Fee does not include surgery, consultations, special duty nursing
and drugs. These must be paid for by the patient. Laboratory work done at the
Infirmary is free of charge, but any work that has to be referred elsewhere is the
responsibility of the patient. The Infirmary offers students a diagnostic x-ray service
at a very nominal cost. All x-rays are interpreted by a qualified Radiologist. A
charge of $1.75 per day for board is made for students admitted to the Infirmary
as inpatients.
 The University is not responsible for the medical care of students during vaca-
tions. The Infirmary will be closed during official University vacation periods, but,
in certain instances, it may make special arrangements for the continued care of
students who were hospitalized before the vacation period.
 During epidemics, the facilities of the Student Health Department may be so
overtaxed that the care of all ill students at the Infirmary would be impossible. In such
an emergency every effort will be made to provide for the care of students outside the
Infirmary, but the Student Health Department will not assume payment for services
rendered by outside physicians or other hospitals.


 FLORIDA UNION
 The Florida Union, the official center of student activities, is almost entirely
financed by a student activity fee, and is governed by a Board of Managers, con-
sisting of eight students and six faculty members.
 A Social Board, composed of students interested in planning student activities,
is empowered by the Board of Managers to plan and promote all social, cultural, and
recreation activities in the Union. This Board and its committees are open to any
student interested in participation.
 Among the weekly activities sponsored by the Social Board and open to all
students are Club Rendezvous, bridge lessons and tournaments, dancing classes, coffee
hours, and movies at the Union, Flavet I, Flavet II, and Flavet III. Special activi-
ties such as receptions, dances, billiard tournaments, open houses, community sings,
art exhibits, music hours, forums, outings, book reviews, radio listening parties, Wau-
burg picnics, and Christmas parties are all part of the Union program.
 The Union is open daily from 7:00 a. m. until 11:00 p. m. Among the facili-
