Slip WiUiMit It is often said that things get hotter with age. and such could he said of Furman after the recent move of the Admissions and Financial Aid Offices and the infirmary. Previously the Admissions and Financial Aid Offices were located in the classroom building and the infirmary was in the top of the Dining Hall. Now that the Joseph Bay-lis Harlc Infirmary has been completed, it houses all three: the infirmary occupies the main floor and the Admissions and Financial Aid Offices are located in the basement. These spacious new quarters have proved to be advantageous to all of their occupants. The decision to move the Admissions and Financial Aid Offices was made in May of 1979. The University felt the additional area created by the new quarters would allow the offices to serve both currently enrolled and prospective students more efficiently. Both of these offices are important to students. All students, of course, must deal with admissions to enter the University. and 65 percent of students are receiving some form of financial aid. With the change, both offices have received new furniture and equipment: for example, a new computer terminal and printer arc now being used in the Financial Aid Office. According to Charles Brock. Director of Admissions. the only drawback . . . has been the location, which is not as convenient as the previous one and the absence of parking close by . . . .” The infirmary has also reaped many benefits from the move. Now. for the first time, (his building, the ’kick-off for the Campaign for Furman's Future, offers both outpatient and inpatient facilities to Furman students. The liarle Infirmary commemorates the life and service of Joseph Baylis Earle. M.D.. and was donated by Janie Earle Furman. Alester G. Furman. Jr.. Alester G. Furman 111 and Joseph Earle Furman. M.D. The building itself includes separate doctors' and nurses’ offices, a record room, a laboratory, a diet kitchen, a medicine room, four outpatient treatment and examination rooms, an ambulance dock and tour semi-private rooms. While physicians are available in the infirmary part time and are always on call, nurse practitioners, registered nurses who specialize in working in a college environment, are available around the clock. On the weekends, student assistants screen patients and can contact the nurse on call if necessary. The Admissions and Financial Aid Offices and the infirmary, then, have grow n significantly to keep up with the needs of Furman students.
