QUARTERS A MAINSTAY OF COLLEGE LIFE They always stick close to- gether, usually two or three of them in a group. One will offer you a cold beverage to quench your thirst; one will display its wide selection of prepackaged , sugar- sweetened yummies for you to munch on; and the third will promise you an insulated cup full of hot chocolate or coffee. All they ask in return are quarters. This is the mainstay of their diet. As long as you put enough quarters in their thin, slotlike mouths, vending machines will provide you enough high-calorie, quick-energy snacks to get you through your next class. Knowing where to find the vending machines, and the quarters to feed them, can make getting that snack a lot easier. Vending machines are located in the Commons Area of the Business Technology Building, the recreation room of Nelson Student Center, on the lower level of Ireland Hall, in the Industrial Technology student lounge and in the faculty lounge in Galle-Johnson Hall. Available on campus are 7-Up, RC Cola, Cherry RC Cola, grape and orange flavored Nehi, and diet drinks, powdered donuts, corn chips, tortilla chips, potato chips, chocolate bars, packages of gum and bite-sized candies. There are also hot chocolate, without the whipped cream, and coffee with all the accessories. Aside from the food varie ty vending machines, there are a number of other places students can drop quarters into machines. Cowley students literally go through hundreds of dollars daily in quarters for vending machines. Most students use the pool tables, pinball machines, pop machines or pay phones, in addition to the trips to the washing machines and dryers in the dorms or the laundromat off campus. Whether you like it or ' not, you can ' t avoid being affected by vending machines and their quarter requirements. Supplying students with the coins to operate the machines has become a concern for a number of people on campus. I always keep a cup of coins in my room, said Jackie Wilson, dorm supervisor. The kids usually can get them there. ' Dennis Mclntire, supervisor of the new dormitory, can als be contacted in case of a quarte shortage. Bob Juden, director student life, and Ruene Gagi bookstore manager, can als help students make loose chang out of their bills. The refreshment window i the Nelson Student Cente allows student to purchase so drinks, hamburgers, and th infamous quarters. If it ' s more convenient, a vis to the Business Office or th Admissions Office for chang can be made as long as thei supply holds out. They sa Mondays, Wednesdays an Fridays are the busiest days fo students seeking change. If all else fails, the best plac to get quarters, is at one of thi local banks just a block or si from campus. by Michael Carmody UJara Different We ' re Docis at Home National Bank.

MEDICAL TIPS Is there a doctor in the house? Students who are new to college life may find it hard to adjust. • This applies more to those living in the dormitories, and especially those from out of town, than to most other new students. Almost everyone who moves out of their home into an institutional environment such as that provided by a dormitory gets homesick. But what happens if an illness, more serious than homesickness, sets in? The common cold is easy enough to deal with. Time and patience will cure it. Flu? That ' s a little harder to handle. But the only thing you can do for it is take over-the-counter medications and relax. The 24-hour bug, the blahs, and other minor health glitches can be dealt with in a similar manner. But if you fall down the stairs and suddenly feel a sharp pain in your side, then what? I ' d be responsible to take them to the hospital, said Dennis Mclntire, supervisor of the new dormitory. But the pain of paying the emergency room bill could be greater than that of a cracked rib. It costs $67 just to see the emergency room doctor, and if treatment is necessary additional charges will be added to your bill. If it ' s not a bona fide emergency, visiting the Ark City Clinic on Radio Lane is probably a better solution. An office call there only runs about $25. If you have an appointment to see a doctor but can ' t find a way to get there, you have little to worry about. When someone has a doctor ' s appointment, we usually get them there, said Jackie Wilson, Nelson Dorm supervision According to Bob Juden, director of student life, In case of an accident, we do one of two things: find a ride or call an ambulance. If prescription drugs are needed there are several places in Ark City to get them. Within walking distance of the campus are three pharmacies, all located in the 200 South block of Summit Street: Petersen ' s Medicine Chest, Graves Self-Service Drug, and Taylor Drug. There are also pharmacies in Dillon ' s and Wal-Mart. If a visit to the doctor is in order, they are listed under Physicians and Surgeons in the Yellow Pages of the phone book. Ark City Memorial Hospital ' s emergency room phone number is 442-2500, and the number for the Ark City Clinic is 442-2100. And remember to dial 9 1 1 for serious accidents. by Michael Carmody 1 17 SOUTH SUMMIT STREET Arkansas City, Kansas 67005 (316)442-2410 Watch and CtocfCRepair Union State Bank Three convenient locations to serve you!!
